Homebrew HID To VPAD Network Client

[SlimPortable]

^I just tried that Network Client nightly on OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 and it crashes when scanning for controllers. Using Xbox One controller through USB cord. This error log then showed up in the folder where the client was stored. https://pastebin.com/XHDJExMP

 

[Matt1290]

I have installed both the client and server (on the WiiU).

I have downloaded the Config files and put them into /sd/wiiu/controller

I have downloaded the Stable hidtovpad to /sd/wiiu/apps

I can load into HID to VPAD and the client launches on my desktop.

Xbox360 wired controller works when playing games but my Switch Pro Controller doesn't.

It says "No Configuration for this controller found on the console" but I do have them both. xinput.ini and switchpro.ini.

Here is a screenshot of everything. Whats going on? What do I do?

(I also tried updating both to nightly builds and got the same error)

@GroverCleveland
Today I worked on the "multiple controllers" on OSX thing. I only tried it inside a Virtual Machine (Yep, I set this up, only for you ) with only one controller, but it should work.
Can you test it with the newest nightly of the networkclient and newest nightly of HID to VPAD?
Auto detecting the controller on OSX is not possible, so it's only checking at startup for connected controllers.
If you want to refresh that list (after attaching/removing a new controller) use the "scan for controller" button. When you click this button, all controller will reconnect to your console, but it should work.

PS: For me the data of the new DS4 was different, it had one extra byte at the beginning. I added a special case to remove that byte on OSX, hopefully this was a general issue which applies to all OSX user and I didn't break stuff.

Quark is mostly doing the Linux/OSX part. It should work, but I don't have an idea if you have do something special before. Thats why I added the "TODO".
Running this on a raspberry pi actually a really cool idea, but I guess for this we would also need some kind of command line interface for connecting/disconnecting.

Damn @Maschell you're the man for going through all those hoops for little ole' me . I really appreciate the effort you're putting in and can't thank you enough!

I ran some tests with the nightly builds you linked to and was unable to get the HIDTest-0.1-nightly-jar-with-dependencies.jar file to run at all however I could get the HIDToVPADNetworkClient-0.2-nightly-jar-with-dependencies.jar file to run although I couldn't successfully connect a controller. I tried using 1 and 2 controllers but unfortunately any time I tried to use the 'Scan for Controllers' button the application quit and left me with some log files.

I've attached the log files for both jar's so please let me know if you'd like any additional info or testing from me and I'll get to it as soon as I possibly can. Thanks again for all the work you're putting in!!!

Looks like it has some problem with the HID Library...
Maybe I can make a test-build with hid4java and we can see if this solves the problem. (I don't know when I have time again for coding though, probably this weekend)

That's what I was thinking too. I had a feeling that VM's would handle PID and/or I/O inputs differently than a real machine but had no issues giving it a shot. Just let me know what else you need/want me to do and I'll get it done.

I'm bad at taking a break.... :'D

Can you try this nightly? Now it's using a complety different backend on OSX. Worked for me on my VM with the new DS4 pad connected via USB. Even auto scanning and HIDTest should work now.

 

[GroverCleveland]

Absolutely, I'm havin a drink after work right now but I'll try it out as soon as I get home and I'll report back.

 

[Maschell]

the network client it says that there is no config file on the console.

But now it says there's not configuration for the controllers on the console

It says "No Configuration for this controller found on the console" but I do have them both. xinput.ini and switchpro.ini.

Is it possible that you all loaded the homebrew launcher through the browser?
Can you try the newest HIDtoVPAD nightly AND the newest nightly of the network client?

I run the homebrew launcher through Haxchi. Just tried those new nightly builds and the Network Client can detect when a controller is connected to it nicely now on OSX! Unfortunately, it's still giving me a config not found on console error.

Sorry one drink turned to several and I never got to testing last night but I just tested it out right now briefly and found that it's now picking up 4 DS4's at once and running pretty smoothly. I've found some odd behavior like disconnecting and the inability for the network client to connect due to the config missing on the console (it was there) but but don't have time to reproduce at the moment. I'll poke around more this weekend and report back any other issues I find with steps to reproduce. Thanks again for all the work, I really can't tell you how appreciative I am for it!

Hello, I have a Windows 10 x64 Updated PC with lastest Java updated and vcredist installed...I uninstalled both java and vcredist x86 and x64, reboot PC and installed everything another time.
My problem is not solved. I tried with every nightly build and with the stable build: It doesn´t detect my controllers: I tried with Xbox 360 USB controller and with Xbox One S controller by bluetooth and also with the USB cable.
I prefer to use the xbox one S controller by bluetooth, but i've tested if the problem was the bluetooth connection (my PC recongnised both controllers and i can play PC Games with it)

You can see in the image all the windows opened to see that everything is installed correctly and the controllers are not found by the program.
Do you have any idea to solve it?


Thanks a lot

HID To VPAD Network Client v0.3

Changelog:
- Code refactoring
- Updated the JNA version to support more OS
- Added a simple HIDTest tool (similar to the WiiU one) to display the input data.
- Skip Xbox pads when scanning for HID-Devices on windows. (We have XInput)
- Added option or auto-scanning for controller (+ added option to scan manually)
- Implemented support for multiple HID-Libraries. This fixed OSX support because we're now using hid4hava on OSX and Linux.
- Updated the TCP Handshake to also negotiate a protocol version.
- Serveral small improvement, tweaks and bug fixes

Download: https://github.com/QuarkTheAwesome/HIDtoVPADNetworkClient/releases/tag/v0.3

You'll need the new HIDtoVPAD version 0.9h to use this client.

I also added a small HIDTest-App, similar to the WiiU one, to see your inputs of your connected controller.

For some reason it doesn't work on my PC. Once I connect the program to the wii u it freezes, so I can't tick the boxes I want. Any ideas?

 

[yasushi]

When dualshock3 is connected in HIDToVPADNetworkClient-0.3, it freezes in HIDToVPAD_v0.9h.

A controller of a PC was recognized to v0.2-nightly-79f4d73.
v0.2-nightly-25e8bc6, after, dualshock doesn't recognize anything but 3 from a PC.
dualshock doesn't show anything but 3 to a list.

Hi guys,

A newbie question. My computer is in another room differente from where the WIIU is.

Do I need the computer to be near the WII U console in order the controller comands to be read, or just in the same Network is ok?

Thanks!

 

[Maschell]

The same network is enough.
@yasushi I'll take at look at it

 

[justinleblanc]

I'm unable to get the network client to connect to my Wii U. I've attached a screenshot of what is happening. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

Which version of HIDtoVPAD/Network Client are you using? Looks like your network client version is outdated but yourusing the newest hid to vpad version

 

[yasushi]

Thank you very much for your correspondence.
When DUALSHOCK3 is connected in HIDToVPADNetworkClient.
It'll be in the state input to not touching.

When next it's a different controller, but it's used by the next setting by a USB connection.
When I move, but it's connected in HIDToVPADNetworkClient.
It'll be in the state input to not touching.

@yasushi
I'm sorry, I can't understand what you me. Can you try to rephrase it?

Today I worked on getting rumble support for the Network controller working, and got it working for XInput devices. If you want to test it, use the newest nightlies:

https://github.com/Maschell/hid_to_vpad/releases/tag/HIDtoVPAD-v0.9h-nightly-8391746
https://github.com/QuarkTheAwesome/HIDtoVPADNetworkClient/releases/tag/v0.3-nightly-70b5da2

PS: you can also map for example the DS4 to XInput using tools like this and have rumble support
