GamePadToPC Released, Control your PC with a Wii U Gamepad

[gamefan5]

Hmm... I wonder if ths would be possible to use the WIIU gamepad for... digital art in a future release...

At the moment, it looks like DS2Keys all over again, which is great

I can barely detect any lag while using it. Once he adds in analog stick support in terms of controlling the mouse, I can see myself playing some shooters with it.

(He mentioned the above support would be in relatively soon.)

It's annoying when there's two threads on the same subject .

I was told by a higher up to make this thread. Complain to them not me.

Or have them lock it or something if it's really that much of an annoyance to majority of the community.

Not bitchin fella, just sayin really. Kinda weird watchin two exact same conversations by a complete diff set of users.

I think some of us are stilled burned out on the wii cesspools sections and treat the wii u ones, especially as hacks are not so advanced/beyond that allowed by backwards compatibility, in much the same way.

It would be useful to have the Wii U Tablet act as a web keyboard, and browse the net on the PC screen. Just make a webpage with the keyboard layout, and browse to it on the Wii U. The PC would have to host the keyboard webpage, but it would give you a full blown browser vs the crappy one the Wii U comes with.

This is actually a really crappy hack.

BTW; the author also included nodejs without a copy of the MIT license, which makes this distribution illegal. Nice front page material.

Jealousy is an ugly emotion. It does exactly what it is intended to do. Nothing about that is "crappy."

P.S. I have no idea what you're talking about with that license issue. Seems to be right in the root folder to me...

Every hack starts as ''crappy'' and gets better and better each version, just give it time.

How's that analog stick mouse control going?

 

[RupeeClock]

The Wii U uses a custom wi-fi protocol not bluetooth.

I suspected that might've been the case.

Trying to add it before I head to work today. Hopefully I can release it today!

Nice looking forward to it.

 

[vashgs]

Nice looking forward to it.

I have mouse movement working properly and transferring between sticks properly. Mouse movement for DirectInput will take some time, and the current clicking doesn't seem to be working at the moment. It will require a bit more work before I can make a release, but it's still coming very soon! I have to head to work for now, unfortunately

Screen streaming and control stick -> mouse.

I would jizz if you could map the Wii U's sticks and buttons to a PC joypad.

While the PC may be better, I didn't think the Wii u browser is that bad.

For now you something like this MIGHT work. Stuff that's meant for a PC web browser isn't as likely to support the gamepad buttons but it might work okay with the touch screen if that's what you're looking for. (at least until THIS also can stream PC images and use the touchscreen for the mouse.)

Can it be also used with other devices like say... a Nexus tablet?

I haven't tried it myself yet. I just stumbled upon it yesterday IIRC. I would assume so, though.
