Well he DID define the address as PAD_COUNT, i can see where this leads to confusion xD

Yeah it did, it's my most-wanted feature so my friend and me can play Mario Kart 8 with GameCube Controllers, that and maybe DS4 Gyro Support for Splatoon :P

How do the debug builds work? Any controller I try adding still goes crazy and I want to try and fix it. Buttons will work, but a direction will get permanently stuck.

Oh.
My.
That is genius.
First off all sorry if all this is off-topic but:
  • How did you set up the headers in your post. I tried to quote it to find out but welll...
  • Also how on earth did you set what it quotes as.

Do you mind just explaining how to do it? I don't see any posts about it
Planned features:
- Implemented GC-Adapter, PS3, PS4 support.
- Other devices can be added by adding just a .ini file to the SD Card. (New mechanics that certain controller are using need to be implemeted)
- The button configuration of the pre-implemented controllers (+ keyboard) can be change through an file on the SD Card. (Using predefines variables with makes it much easier)
- The Gamepad button layout can be remapped through a config file.
- I will remove the built in support for the devices that are not listed above, but I will provide them as a config file. This way the app is cleaner and you guys have a few example config files.

Okay, another quick update report.
[...]
Todo:
- Implement the remapping of the sticks
- parsing config files for keyboard + mouse
- code clean up + further testing
- bug fixing!!!
- allow comments int the config files

When this is done we can start a semi public beta.

Just curious, since this essentially lets USB controllers control the gamepad, rather than showing up as a 2nd controller, could it be made to also support the Pro controller? I don't mean the USB controller acting as the Pro, but rather the Pro acting as a USB controlling the gamepad, for those games that don't have Pro support. If this impossible or already suggested or already in there and I'm just too retarded to get it to work, I apologize in advance. I just really love the Pro and wish all games supported it.

Basicly, WiiUPro to VPAD is what you mean.

Nah, I'd rather like to see something like WiiCCPro to WiiUPro.

Hello! My name is professorjackk2099 (aka MoonBlade, aka redz1t, aka Agent4)
Under interest of finding a way to convert PC mouse+keyboard controls to the Wii U title: Splatoon, this is the only software that has come out of it's way to deliver an easy method of doing so.
However there seems to be 3 major flaws with HID to VPAD which make it unviable for competitive play:

Issue #1: 95% of the time, the screen will slowly move to wherever the last input was pointing.

Issue #2: There is a limit as to how fast you can aim the screen. For example, if I wanted to perform a 180 degree turn it takes a very long time. This is not HID to VPAD's fault, it is Splatoon's sensetivity options for stick controls.

Issue #3: Being accidentally discovered, there is a way to "cheat" in multiplayer matches while holding the forward key on the keyboard while pointing right on the analog stick to have INSANE running speed on the squid character. This has the potential to get people banned from Splatoon.

The issues #1 and 2 seem like something that can be solved with a HID to VPAD-GYRO implication.
Does anybody know of something of the sort that I can use? I look forward to sniping with a PC mouse.

  • 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)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards

    It's always worth a shot
