Controller options for NSMBW on an actual Wii

Hey,

I was wondering if anyone has any advice on some more ergonomic controller options when playing New Super Mario Bros Wii on my RVL-101 Wii.

I tried something similar to this https://www.zedlabz.com/products/controller-grip-handle-for-nintendo-wii-remote-gloss-finish-2-pack-white-zedlabz but it flexes in an odd way and doesn’t fit perfectly so doesn’t feel great to use.

My Wii is homebrewed and I know there’s a patch to get the Wii Classic Pro Controller working with NSMBW, but it seems tilt is not supported? Or at least tilt will come from the Wiimote attached on the back? Which will be off by 90 degrees as it’s mounted vertically. Maybe a Gecko patch could resolve that.

Basically wondering if there’s any solution that allows for an ergonomic (modern such as my 8bitdo Pro 2 or otherwise) controller to work directly with the Wii and provide tilt support?

Thanks
