Problem Solved!

Turn off rootless in El Capitan in order to make it work again.

I'm having this same issue, but I can't consider turning off System Integrity Protection a proper fix.

Sorry, could someone explain what "turn off rootless" means?

It's a new feature in OS X 10.11 El Capitan that blocks the user from modifying some system files even with root.

Can someone report that this really works and explain why?

Turning off SIT works. Just tested this myself. Would definitely prefer a better workaround or at the very least a quicker way to go about toggling SIT.

https://github.com/JustinBis/wjoy-foohid supposedly fixes it... I have had no luck.

With the wjoy-foohid fork I'm able to install wjoy now, but when I attempt to pair I'm either prompted for a passcode or there is an immediate disconnect. Should there be a passcode required? Has anybody gotten this to work? I'm using Sierra.

@joeauty @JaredSartin I'm facing the same issue... I've created an issue at the repo https://github.com/JustinBis/wjoy-foohid/issues/1

in case you'd like to follow it

I just posted my experience with WJoy here - failing to successfully keep WJoy running permanently and the Wii U Pro Controller connected. If anyone has any advice on how to make it successfully run on macOS 10.12, please share your solution!
