The availability and reliability of Gamecube controllers has been a long-standing issue in the Melee community. By now, it is fairly common knowledge that not all controllers are created equally - the disparity in quality of these controllers affects important movement techniques in Melee, most notoriously dashback and shield dropping. Controllers are becoming more expensive, and few players have the luxury of testing a multitude of controllers to find one that is reliable. This creates an arbitrary discrepancy where some players can perform techniques more reliably than others, for the sole reason that their controller is a better pick.
These controller issues are an artifact of Melee design choices that are not favorable for competitive play. This includes a one-frame dashback window and a shield drop window only three units thick - both so precise that minute differences in controller calibration make all the difference.
Universal Controller Fix (UCF) aims to fix these discrepancies, so that any controller is on par with a 'good' controller - without going beyond what is possible in vanilla Melee.
This means with UCF, any given controller will be able to perform techniques as reliably as expected from a 'good' controller. Those techniques will not become easier to perform than they already are on good controllers. They merely become as consistent as what good controllers already allow players to do.
UCF was developed in response to the community's desire to fix these issues, but their reluctance to put any of the existing proposed mods into practice due to unwillingness to change Melee's game design. We hope that UCF becomes the standardized controller fix solution that TOs find reliable to use in tournaments of any size.

Dolphin/Gecko Codes These are the standalone codes for UCF that can be used in Dolphin or injected into other Melee mods. NOTE: Dolphin has a limit to the number of codes that can be enabled at once. Since UCF is a large code, having too many other codes enabled may cause UCF. This guide will cover the most popular emulator for running Gamecube games: Dolphin (Computer), and Dolphin (Android). This tutorial will show you how and where to access your save files while using a Gamecube emulator. Almost every day someone asks how to convert Gamecube.gci,.gcs, or.sav save files into RAW memory card files.
