Simply as the title states. Any way of using the gamepad for the PC? I've found plenty of guides but when it comes to downloading the software (GamepadToPC), the website seems to be down and I can't find any mirrors to the download

Thanks, but as I'm looking it up, I see that the client is for Windows PC, but the server it needs is only for Linux?
Actually, I think I found a guide to use Linux Subsystem (WSL) on my computer. Imma try that out and let y'all know

They need to make the GamePad compatible with CEMU.. I'd love to play my games on PC but still be able to use the gamepad.
That's the opposite: Using the PC as a gamepad.
@MattchuLeroy I also can't find a working mirror but it seems to be just XAMPP with some web files, so a experienced web developer might be able to recreated it with ease.
Wow. Thanks for saving me all that trouble. I was so excited I didn't read the DRC Sim Server is a utility for pairing a computer to a Wii U to emulate a gamepad part.
OMG! I FOUND THE GAMEPADTOPC FILE THAT'S DOWN! Thanks to using The Wayback Machine. I'll attach the file

Actually, that might be possible. I was able to find the lost files needed to be able to use the Wii U Gamepad on the PC. Have you tried UsendMii?

I've used it before, Can't remember how it worked but it was about the controller part of it not the screen and features.
I've read about Moonlight and Sunshine, only it was about streaming PC games to the Wii U, but it also said you needed a powerful PC? My laptop isn't all powerful at all. Hell, it's only got 4 gigs of RAM
IIRC this is only true for PCs without dedicated video en-/decoding hardware. All modern GPUs (as well as notebook SoCs) have such hardware on board through.

I think they should bring back the shutter glasses for VR put 120Hz screen in for 60FPS and even a basic phone these days can pull that off
