Thats a problem of haxchi (more precisly the facts it's not the mii maker). After running hidtovpad you should never run haxchi, only the MiiMaker

HIDtoVPAD thinks haxchi is still a normal DS game, and doesn't restore the patches (which is needed before you can run the HBL again)

i think thats not useful
normally you use a analog stick to have the possibility to change the intensity of the moving
so if you want to change a button which is read in as a bit has to be converted to 0 or 255 (for each direction min max) or you have to set a level what should be set when pressing the button

i think its not possible with the actual version and wont be a feature for the future ;-)

I have a n64 usb adapter and I'd like to map the C buttons to the right analog stick to use it with n64 virtual console titles, if that clears up the purpose.
Shouldn't be difficult to program, but I guess the ini file doesn't support this (hopefully not yet?).

This config file here seems to do what I intend, but I don't quite get how it acomplishes it, since my adaptor has different values: https://github.com/Maschell/control...AYFLASH_N64_Controller_Adapter_for_PC_USB.ini

For what I understand, it is possible for that MAYFLASH adapter because the C buttons use 2 registers, so 1 register can be assigned to each stick, being the min and max values the masks for the button presses. But my adapter uses 1 register for the 4 C buttons, so I can't really do this, unless I can apply masking for each stick independently, but this is something not in the wiki.

My C stick is read as:
up: 0x01
right: 0x02
down: 0x04
left: 0x08

So if I assing up and down to the Y stick min and max values, when I press right it would be read as a Y stick value and produce wrong input. Maybe if I set 0x02 as the neutral value it would work...

Running Mii Maker again just runs HIDtoVPAD, I can exit out to Homebrew Launcher but that doesn't keep the patches loaded.

Well do you have any idea how I could use this with loadiine?
Go to the loadiine settings and enable it

Would it be possible to map buttons to an analog stick and vice-versa?
As in get a DS3 controller and make the XO/\[] buttons correspond to pressing the right analog stick directions, and tilting the right analog stick be recognized as pressing those buttons.
I'm currently working on the "button to stick" part.

Finally!! I have been searching since the release of BotW for a way to play with mouse and keyboard. Seeing as my disability doesn't allow me to play with a normal controller. I was wondering if you know if the CronusMax would also work with maxaim. Because I read that it IS working with some controllers.

I hugely appreciate any help you could provide! :)

Thanks, didn't notice that before. I'm noticing that the configuration for the gamecube adapter I tried to load in 0.9e does load here. So possibly controller configurations are broken in 0.9e?
edit: also there really needs to be an option to disable rumble. Sometimes controllers will start violently rumbling, even the ones not in use in a game at the current time.
edit2: oh and wiimotes seem to not work when using this

That works wonders. Thanks! Used this to swap X-B on the gamepad. Will be handy with splatoon 2 since jumping is on B instead of X and going back to splatoon on wii U would be a mess otherwise.

I'm pretty sure it has an different VID/PID so you have to create a new config file

I didn't go through every page and check if this has been an issue so I apologize in advance, but when using a PS3 controller my left analog isn't emulated correctly. Up and down is instead left and right, and left and right don't even work. Everything else works though so it's almost perfect. Just not sure why the left analog is messed up.

search this thread for "DS3 Controller" and maybe around 10 Pages back you will find something that helps

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
