HID to VPAD

This is a little tool that let you use a hid device instead of the WiiU Gamepad.
Currently its experimental and result in random crashes at exiting an application or attaching/detaching a device.
It's based on the controller_patcher engine.

Usage

Start the .elf with the homebrew launcher. The system menu will be loaded and you can use your device. You can attach and detach devices at any time, but maybe it will result in a random crash.

Place the config files into the following folder:

sd:/wiiu/controller

Supported devices

The official GC Adapter, PS3/PS4 Pad, Mouse, Keyboard have built in support. Other devices can be added when a valid config file in provided.
Check out the controller_patcher repository for more details.

You can find deep information for creating own config files, the default mapping, in the controller patcher wiki

Building

In order to build this application, you need the custom liboGC and portlibs modified/created by dimok. You can find them on the loadiine_gx2 repo (https://github.com/dimok789/loadiine_gx2/releases/tag/v0.2). Simply put the files in your devkit folder and run the Makefile of HID to VPAD.

Credits

  • 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.)
