Homebrew Official HID to VPAD

[Azel]

Amazing homebrew :o
I hope you can add support for other controllers at some point like the hori fight commander 4 for ps4

 

[AdmiralToucan]

I wish I could patch in more controllers. I guess the only one who knows how to update something like this is Maschell himself

Not, yet

i think the easiest way is to start loadiine with hid to vpad enabled and the udp logger for loadiine

and when you connect you will get something like (in udp log window):

handle 001f2f33
physical device inst 00000000
vid 06a3
pid 5f0d
interface index 00
sub class 00
protocol 00
max packet in 07
max packet out 08
00000020(3) attached!

you need to make sure its a hid device (that can be done under windows)
and you will get some message when attaching your new device -> write down the pid and vid of the new device
then you only have to add it to the sources

in \src\controller_patcher\controller_patcher.h
is an
enum Controller_Patcher_Devices
where you have to add your new device
and the defines for the buttons you have to set for the new controller

and in \src\controller_patcher\controller_patcher.c

you see some sections for each controller:

you have to add such a block for the new controller or at least for the first try the lines with the vid and pid for the device

for the other lines the last 2 parameters are only relevant for changes
for example:
setConfigValue((u8*)&config_controller[CONTRPD_SP2600][CONTRPS_VPAD_BUTTON_DPAD_N], 0x06,HID_SP2600_BUTTON_DPAD_N);

0x06 means the sixth byte is taken from the hid readbuffer
and the HID_SP2600_BUTTON_DPAD_N is the define for the button/direction you will set

when you enable the log in
https://github.com/Maschell/control...3b483cfccab36cea39/controller_patcher.c#L1093

you will see the buffer output of your controller with some bytes (i think it were about 8 bytes -> too long ago)

and then you can press a button/ direction on the controller and you see changes in the hid readbuffer -> here you can see the changes for each button and you know what to define

have fun !

Do Xbox 360 controllers work?

xbox 360 controllers are no hid devices if i remember so they wont be supported (at least the wireless one with the usb dongle)

connect it to your windows and search for the device if its under HID-Section or not

 

[Maschell]

I planned to add config files. With these config file it will be easily possible to add pads and remap the buttons of the gamepad.
I have no idea when I have actual time to implement it

 

[Sonic Angel Knight]

I's there no way to allow native bluetooth control or must it be usb hid only?

Whats the model of your mice ? I tested with 4 differente types and only one worked well (not perfectly, sometimes it keeps moving to the side even though im not moving the mice).

Hello everyone, first thank you both @Maschell and @dimok for your work on HIDtoVpad and LoadiineGx2.

I would like to report a problem occurring on LoadiineGX2 which I can't find any solution to it. I got 2 wavebirds controllers and a classic GC controller.
I recently tried to use both of them and it worked fine. I decided to update LoadiineGx2 from a build I can't remember to the new one.

It turned out now wavebird controllers are detected but when pressing any buttons nothing happens. More strange is when I plug one Wavebird on port 4, the only button working is analogue left searching online for covers...

Do you have any ideas of what is going on ?

Thank you for your time and help everyone.

do you have any log from loadiine's udp logger ? that might help to analyse

 

[Daisy]

I tried using this and I just got a white screen?

Edit: Okay, and now I can't get into the homebrew launcher at all since this happened.

"FSGetMountSource failed."

Fixed it all somehow, I have no idea what's going wrong.

The WiiUs SD-Slot sucks, if you get that error just make sure you take out the sd, maybe clean the contacts and firmly put it back in, then retry

Thank you for your reply. How can I get the log and put it online ? I will send it to you guys as soon as you tell me how to do get the log .

Here is the log, I read it and no matter what I do with the wavebird, nothing happens. I even tried the fourth port and press analogue left, as said earlier it downloaded all the resources from gamedatabase, shomething loadiine gx2 shouldn't and isn't appearing into the log.

I used TCP instead of UDP thinking it was two possible solutions. Here is my log, I launched loadiine gx2, wavebird controller is recognised but not working, I press every buttons I can and use the gamepad to select and launch the rom Aria of Sorrow GBA. The game did not launch (that's not the problem) and I turned the WiiU off.

Here is my log:

I used TCP instead of UDP thinking it was two possible solutions.

tcp server is for some other problems when you want to log the file usage

in your log i cant see when the the controller is attached

please start loadiine (hid-to-vpad has to be enabled in settings) without controller attached and then attach the controller after loadiine started

you dont need to start a game

but then in your log should be something about the controller like

handle 001f7ccb
physical device inst 00000000
vid 06a3
pid 5f0d
interface index 00
sub class 00
protocol 00
max packet in 07
max packet out 08
00000020(3) attached!

 

[Hucet_James]

Thank you for your time. Here is the log step by steps:

I launched, enabled HID-to-Vpad, put the gamecube USB system with no controllers:

Loading game list
Initialize video
Video size 1280 x 720
Initialize main font system
Initialize main window
Entering main loop
handle 001f2e0d

max packet in 25
max packet out 05
00000001(0) attached!

Testing the wavebird, not working.

Now I remove the USB GC Controllers, reboot loadiine, plug USB with the wavebird and here is another log:

Same log as written upper.

Wavebird is not working but the regular official cable GC controller is working perfectly fine. Which is strange because I assure you wavebird controler was perfectly working before I update loadiine GX2.
