# Plugin system for the Wii U. (WIP) [](https://travis-ci.org/Maschell/WiiUPluginSystem)
|
|

# What is the Wii U Plugin System?
|
|
|
|
The Wii U Plugin allows you to load multiple plugins on your Wii U which enhance your experience.
|
|
For example you can mod your games, use USB controller, swap your gamepad and TV screen and much more.
|
|
|
|
# Features
|
|
|
|
The project is still in it's very early days, but it already has basic functions to play with.
|
|
|
|
- The plugins will be loaded, even when you swap the running game.
|
|
- Support for up to 32 plugins at the same time.
|
|
- Each plugin can override up to 100 different existing system functions.
|
|
- Multiple plugins can override the same system functions.
|
|
- Plugins can register for certain hook (for example whenever an application was started)
|
|
- Plugins inherit the SD/USB access from the loader. All plugins have global SD and USB (FAT32 only) access.
|
|
- Plugins can be configured at run-time. Press L, DPAD down, and minus on the gamepad at the same time to open the configuration menu.
|

# How to build
|
|
|
|
A detailed instruction can be found in the Wiki:
|
|
|
|
- [Installing the required libraries for creating plugins](https://maschell.github.io/WiiUPluginSystem/dev_required_libraries.html)
|
|
- [How to compile the loader](https://maschell.github.io/WiiUPluginSystem/dev_compile_loader.html)
|

|
### Plugins
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
This is a (maybe incomplete) list of currently available plugins:
|
|
|
|
- [HID to VPAD](https://github.com/Maschell/hid_to_vpad/tree/wups):
|
|
Port of [HID to VPAD](https://github.com/Maschell/hid_to_vpad).
|
|
No configuration is possible yet, all controllers map automatically to the game pad, pro controller mapping not support. Network client is working.
|
|
- [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.
|
|
- [Streaming plugin](https://github.com/Maschell/StreamingPluginWiiU):
|
|
Gamepad streaming tool. Open http://<ip of your wii u>:8000 on a browser in the same network.
|
|
- [SD Cafiine](https://github.com/Maschell/SDCafiine/tree/wups):
|
|
Port of the orignal SDCafiine (https://github.com/Maschell/SDCafiine). No NTFS support yet.
|
|
- [SwipSwapMe](https://github.com/Maschell/SwipSwapMe):
|
|
Swaps the TV and gamepad screen via a buttons combo.The button combo can be changed.
|
|
- [Diibugger](https://github.com/Maschell/DiiBuggerWUPS):
|
|
Port of the DiiBugger.
|
|
- [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.
|
|
|
|
# Load a plugin via network
|
|
While the loader is running, it's possible to load a single plugin via [wiiload](http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Wiiload).
|
|
When using this feature, this and all plugins in `sd:/wiiu/plugins/temp` will be loaded. The plugin will copied to the SDCard, this mean a SDCard is required.
|
|
A windows executable can be found in `tools/wiiload.exe`
|
|

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.
