Maschell, amazing piece of art you're crafting ! :3

As many, I'm so impatient to try the 0.9c release. Different devices emulated as multiple Pro Controllers is just genius, that's the feature I'd like for weeks.

You said your objective is to provide the best end-user experience, I totally understand, but text is not so necessary for now as your program is simple (but not simplistic) and intuitive.

Anyway if you plan to implement multiple languages in your final release, I'll be glad to help with French translation.

Keep going and thanks for HID to VPAD, such an essential Wii U app !! :)

Btw Maschel, did you have any success yet improving the mouse cursor situation? There are quite a few games (like Twilight Princess HD) where it simply never shows up both on the TV and Gamepad screen. I'm currently working on a graphical overlay for games and I'm running into the exact same issue. I'm afraid the GX2CopyColorBufferToScanBuffer hook might not be optimal, but I couldn't find a working/better alternative yet :(

Legend said that if you were to say to Maschell how beautify he is he might think about releasing the new version of HID to VPAD sooner.

This looks awesome, I have tried using PS3 controller, everything works but the analogue sticks mentioned in previous posts.
They are mixed up, some right stick functions are mapped to the left and there seem to be deadzone issues.
I recommend using black ops 2 to test the games as it uses every button and sticks. I've tried the 0.2 version and the issue is still there.
Maschell mentioned in a previous post he "fixed the issue weeks ago", I hope he can release it soon.

best of luck to him

Ok so I tried this... How does this work?

I tried the following things:
I start the HID to VPAD app.
I plugin the PS3 controller via USB. I either wait 15 seconds or I press A.
Then it doesn't work. I tried the same thing with plugging it in before the Wii U starts.

I also tried it with the Mayflash N64 controller adapter. That doesn't work either.
Can anyone help me out?

Thanks.

Sorry if this has been asked before but would it be possible to use a 3DS as a controller?
Would be great for Mario Kart 8! :)

Edit: It's natively doable in Sm4sh so that might be that entry point. To send fake signals to the 3DS, telling it that Sm4sh as currently running on the Wii U or something like that?

I know it my friend. :)
But since even Xinput devices like Xbox controllers are usable this thread isn't about "only HID devices" any longer. Or to be more specific: It's also about solutions on how to turn non HID devices into emulated HID devices even if that means that a server application has to be run (like it's the case with Xbox controllers).

Well, a homebrew has to be made to be compatible with wireless, like indeed your Wii U's IP. Also the controller has to emulate the GamePad, since like the HID to VPAD has to emulate the GamePad because the Wii U needs it.
Actually this homebrew could be modified to add support for wireless controllers! It's up to the creator of this ^^

xbox uses xinput wich is a difrent hid cove but its still some sort of wired code, the 3ds besides not being anything per say doesnt even have a wired option, its pure wireless code and ssb4 probably has an entire cios code to "hack" the 3ds signals and use them for the game itself, its not as simple as to add another controller hid and xinput arent that diferent compared to wireless and ios hacks.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze

    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
