To load the plugins, you need the WiiUPluginLoader, you can find it [here](https://github.com/Maschell/WiiUPluginLoader).
# Plugins
2018-07-20 16:54:17 +02:00
Last but not least you need to build the plugins that should be loaded.
Plugins depend on the "WUPS library" installed in build step one, other dependencies are optional.

- [Screenshot plugin](https://github.com/Maschell/ScreenshotWUPS):
Simple plugin that take a screenshot by presing L+R+ZL+ZR on the gamepad. Button combo can be changed.

- [WUPSPluginPlayground (Various other demo plugins)](https://github.com/Maschell/WUPSPluginPlayground):
This repository is supposed to hold serveral small testing plugins for the Wii U Plugin System.
Most of the plugin are either really small (Padcon, NNU_Patcher) or are just for testing / gathering information.
# Configuration of the plugins
Plugins can register to the configuration menu.
This configuration menu can be opened while running any application (e.g. while gameplay).
Just press **L, DPAD down and minus** on the gamepad.
This does only work when the game is allowed to open the home menu.
Settings made using the configuration menu will be saved to the SD Card and reloaded the next time the plugin will be used.
# Logging
For logging (for example of the loader) you need to start the UdpDebugReader on a computer in the same network.
This has been created by @dimok789 and can be found in the tools folder.

Much stuff also wouldn't be possible without dimok789. He made many great tools and homebrew this stuff in based on (Makefiles, Mocha, homebrew channel, udp logger, dynamic_libs etc.)
Also thanks to everyone who made actual exploits.
