(Note: The config menu only opens at places where the home menu is allowed).

Building

In order to build this application you need serval libs:

wut
libutilswut for common functions.
lcontrollerpatcherwut to emulate the controllers.

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

Building using the Dockerfile

It's possible to use a docker image for building. This way you don't need anything installed on your host system.

# Build docker image (only needed once
docker build . -t hidtovpadwups-builder

# make 
docker run -it --rm -v ${PWD}:/project hidtovpadwups-builder make

# make clean
docker run -it --rm -v ${PWD}:/project hidtovpadwups-builder make clean

A big thanks goes out to dimok 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 FIX94 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.)
