Hardware Interworks 3 in 1 Wireless Pro U Controller Mini Review!

[DarkenSX]

also the reason from what i can gather why Homebrew dont work well is the libogc being used possibly missing controller info im guessing

 

[Bladexdsl]

but it's supposed to be a classic controller homebrew should be fine?

 

[DarkenSX]

the connector looks different in that one it's different shape? also i think it has to be nimh to work

that one might not but because of connector the bat is a li-po not nimh as its a thin pack nimh can be chunky/thicker

yes a "Third Party Classic Controller" seems this controller is a little different but same kind of deal via WiiBrew:
Datel Retro wireless controller won't work

The homebrew channel appears to ignore the Datel Retro Wireless controller as a valid input controller. According to the wiki I found here:
The way to get the Datel Retro Wireless working with homebrew applications is to recompile your chosen homebrew application against a modified libogc with this defensive code in classic.c removed (around line 91):
WIIUSE_DEBUG("Classic controller handshake appears invalid, trying again."); wiiuse_read_data(wm, data, WM_EXP_MEM_CALIBR, EXP_HANDSHAKE_LEN, wiiuse_handshake_expansion); return 0;
The user also notes: I'm not necessarily recommending that people do this because I don't know enough about the application and this change's impact, but it seems the Datel controller sends an invalid handshake that confuses wiiuse, and making this change will bypass this check for all classic controllers and allow the Datel controller to be used.
Any help in getting this application Datel Retro Wireless compatible would be appreciative. It would make jumping to my favorite homebrew app easier. source: Datel Retro Wireless Classic Controller —Preceding unsigned comment added by Startreker (talk • contribs) 15:38, 16 May 2009
This really needs to be fixed at the libOGC level -- besides, none of us has one of these controllers to test a fix. -- Bushing 04:33, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

fuck it than i'm sticking with my wavebird and wii for emulation. as for this controller (which arrived today) back on ebay it goes

Be carefull when you replace the battery. If the original isn't a lithium, and you replace it with one, it might do more than rumble if you overcharge it.
As it's a cheap device, the battery is probably NiMH as those are cheaper. They are indeed what was used in previous generation cordless phones. Not sure about their normal capacity. If it says 250mAH, that doesn't mean it should be charged with 250mA. That means it should be able to deliver 250mA for 1 Hour or 125mA for 2 Hours.

It tested the Controller with a SNES, MegaDrive and a GBA Emu today. They all dosen't recognize the Controller as a Classic Controller, even when i set the switch on the backsite to "Classic Controller Mode". I have to set it to Wiimote-Mode to work.

As far as i can see... the Controller can not be used as a Classic Controller when using Emulators... can anyone comfirm this?

Update: elgarta has already confirmed this on page 1

Also, if you use it in any homebrew, it will not register if you use it in Classic Controller mode (there is a switch on the back for Wiimote / Classic Controller). So you need to use it in Wii-mote mode, which then requires a bit of button re-mapping, especially in emulators.

WHY?

yeah it's pretty much a piece of shit don't waste your money on this cheap Korean sweatshop made garbage!

WHY?

the libogc or whatever file contains controller info in homebrew does not have some third party controllers info if someone who has wii homebrew programming knowledge could confirm if this is the case it would be great.

i think your better off just using a classic controller pro plugged into wii mote

 

[Bladexdsl]

looks like your screwed no matter what you do. got my classic controller pro today the analogs dont work in snes9x and the d-pad won't even work correctly in gensplus GX. looks like i will be keeping my wii and wavebird for emulation

Sounds like you got a faulty classic controller pro as mine doesn't experience either of those issues

 

[Bladexdsl]

i've been ripped off this is a damn knockoff. it does not have the white wii text on the front! should have known why it was so cheap

 

[Bladexdsl]

finally found an official one $20 from usa including postage

 

[Bladexdsl]

the official classic controller arrive today and did some testing everything works perfect EXCEPT in vbaGX the analogs are unresponsive A LOT pushing down and to the left....

screw it i'll stick with my wii and wavebird for emulation i've wasted enough $$$ on this shit.
