+# HIDtoVPADNetworkClient
+
+A Java application to send data from various controllers to [HID to VPAD](https://github.com/Maschell/hid_to_vpad); a homebrew application for the Wii U.
+
+Using this client, you can use unsuported devices such as XBox 360 controllers with HID to VPAD!
+
+Please check the releases page for the latest feature list; as this program is under heavy development and is still incomplete. At this point only Linux /dev/input controllers are supported.
+
+A sample HID to VPAD .ini for an XBox 360 controller on /dev/input/js0 (the path determines the VID/PID when using Linux controllers) can be found [here](https://puu.sh/tHYS4/d73791d987.ini).
