Place the config files into the following folder:
```
sd:/wiiu/controller
```

## Supported devices

# Building
In order to build this application you need serval libs:

- [wut](https://github.com/decaf-emu/wut)
- [libutilswut](https://github.com/Maschell/libutils/tree/wut) for common functions.
- [lcontrollerpatcherwut](https://github.com/Maschell/controller_patcher/tree/wut) to emulate the controllers.

Install them (in this order) according to their README's. Don't forget the dependencies of the libs itself.

# Credits
- A big thanks goes out to <b>dimok</b> for creating the HBL, the dynamic libs and every stuff he made. The "environment" of this app is copied from ddd, turned out to be a "hello world" with useful extra stuff.  
- Also huge thanks to <b>FIX94</b> who initally created his gc-to-vpad. Helped me a lot! Thanks!  
- And of course big thanks to everyone who has helped me testing! (dimok, dibas, EclipseSin,FunThomas,n1ghty etc.)
