Hacking Injecting into Wii VC on Wii U

[Jaxmc]

It's useless ATM as RE4 still asks for the nunchuck

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------



For some reason I thought it supported Classic Controller back in the day lol

inb4 someone says it's Mandela Effect

yeah, you are not alone, i remember the same lol

Well now you know that it is at least possible to recognize the gamepad in any Wii VC title. Now it's just a matter of finding another game besides Xenoblade with CC support, or figuring out how to inject Wii games.

Yup. Thanks again man!

 

[ShadowOne333]

I'm on it.

It fucking works! Thanks Irastris!

Spoke too soon. It keeps asking for nunchuck when you start it.

Maybe screwing around with the value in the meta.xml might make the game detect the Nunchuck even though we are using the Gamepad for CCP

Maybe we can use this to mod in GC adapter support to these games?

Yeah you're probably right. Hopefully someone figures it out.

Feel free to mess around yourself. As @sabykos pointed out, the equation for 65537 is 2^16+1, so play around with multiplying 2 to different powers and see what you get.

Not multiplying by 2, but rather trying out exponential values for 2 as the base.
The value given right now (655367) is separated from (2^16)+1.
So trying out values like (2^15)+1, (2^14)+1 might make a difference

Also, I would suggest trying out 65536, or 2^16 without adding one to the total of the exponential value.

You set the brackets wrong.

 

[ShadowOne333]

Yeah you're right, sorry.
I meant (2^16)+1
and all variations of it (2^n)+1

Ah, sorry. Math is not my strong suit.

Just like the Wii VC applications, does the Wii Menu app from the Wii U Menu have a meta.xml file we could edit for Wii U Gamepad Support similar in vein to the Wii VC?

No, doesn't work that way mate. Even if the Wii Menu app did have a meta.xml, it's not as simple as adding that value to anything and suddenly have it ask you if you want gamepad control. Something else about the Wii VC titles make it to where only they get that prompt when adding that value.

Well its 2^16+1. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It most likely is a bit number...

It equals 1 0000 0000 0000 0001 in binary

The other bits probably specify other controller types to emulate... maybe nunchuck is one of them...

The windows calculator has a programmer mode to easily convert binary to and from decimal and based on that number it's at least a 17 bit number...

What value does Xenoblade have in its meta.xml?

 

[DanTheMan827]

Someone should try these numbers on New Mario Bros Wii

I'm assuming you don't need to re-install every time and can just modify the meta.xml with wupserver?

If I had to guess... maybe the first bit of each nibble (4 bits) configures the attachments and the additional 3 bits maybe are control schemes?

If that theory is true and bit 1 signifies the Wii Remote is connected then maybe these would work? (these three are for the first bit of each nibble plus the first one)
17
257
4097

These are a little different, they're the first and last bit of the number set to 1 with everything else set to 0

3
5
9
33
65
129
513
1025
2049
8193
16385
32769

and a combination of all of these are 131071 which probably will freeze the Wii U but it's worth a shot...

Using the combination value didn't crash my Wii U and it asked if I wanted to use the gamepad but it still doesn't work. Gonna test the rest of them and report back.

Which game are you using for testing?

NSMBWII and Resident Evil 4
