Homebrew Official HID to VPAD

[QuarkTheAwesome]

Actually I meant "I don't think this is going to happen".

Aww, I thought it was a pretty good excuse :3

Re: RetroArch and Loadiine, I'd think it'd be better to modify HID to VPAD to run outside of the HBL memory range (I'm assuming that's where it stays). This way you'd get a proper system-wide injection rather than having to rely on individual homebrew (and thus adding a dependency to every homebrew, not to mention C++). Just my take on it; although I couldn't tell you what sort of work that'd require.

Nah, in my opinion it's better to have native support in the apps. Because:

• Implementating takes like... 2 minutes? Instead of VPADRead, you just call another function. (+ the init code at startup)
  
• The way how HID to VPAD needs to patch the function is _really_ unstable. You would know have all this into your homebrew app.
• You would loose the functionality of a original controller once a HID device is connected and mapped. Support for 8 player homebrew with the GC Adapter and Pro Controller/Wiimotes could possible easily. With a system wide injection this gets complicated.
• In case of loadiine and hid to vpad - Both patch the same functions individually (loadiine for pad con). Patching may be succesful - but what happens if you restore the patches (in the wrong order)?

Downside: In case of an update, you need to update all homebrews instead of just one. But how often does the lib change?

Why are people nagging so hard for Loadiine? Isn't it deprecated by WUP installer? Also then you have your games like a native one and HID to VPAD works automatically.

It got into the light again as it is the easiest way to play Wii U games from a FAT32 HDD now thanks to Mocha CFW.

Care to elaborate? FAT32 HDD isn't possible on the Wii U right as it wants to format it to its own filesystem, or do you mean through the SD card? Are the games in Loadiine format or do they come from NUS like for WUP installer?

I have all my games installed already but it would be nice to be up to date with all this stuff.

Edit:
Is it because of the fw.img-less CFW?

there is mocha cfw which supports fat hdd. loadiine is still useless since you can just have native games on the fat32hdd anyways

That might be right but it's a few more steps per game as you would have to install it first so the console has the ticket while it's nothing but drag'n'drop from the PC for Loadiine.

Interesting, where did you get that from?

Wow thank you! If there would be such a thing for the Xbox One S Bluetooth Controller I'd be very happy.
Unfortunately the only solution (CronusMax Plus) is still f*cking expensive and doesn't work wirelessly with Xbox One Controllers.

Is there an HID Test created specifically for the Wii U? I Googled and couldn't find one. Also, I put the .ini file for Mayflash WiiU Pro Controller Adapter - W009 on my SD card, but none of the buttons respond on my Pro Commander, even in DInput mode. I tried having other USB devices unplugged with no luck.

Yes, I created a HID Test tool, it's linked in the wiki

Does anyone have Deus Ex working with Gamepad emulation? It never seems to work for me...

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Also, is the Pro Controller a HID Device? I'm assuming not, since it doesn't work with this. Is there a client (like the one Maschell referred to) that allows me to use it)

 

[AlanLC]

Any way to emulate the gamepad without a gamepad on ? To use if the gamepad is broken or stolen.

If you have technical knowledge and a PC capable of Linux and a Wi-Fi antenna that supports being a 5GHz access point, you can use software on your computer to simulate a GamePad. Don't ask me how to do it, though.

Look it up: libdrc and drc-sim

"Technical knowledge" meaning compiling a hacked kernel and writing a driver for your card (drc-sim only has code for one specific card)

So I'm having trouble trying to get the app to recognize the other ports of my GC adapter. Slots 1+2 work fine, but when I try to register 3+4, it doesn't work. Any Suggestions?

Thanks for the reporting.
