Homebrew Official HID to VPAD

[cots]

I wouldn't mind, but I can't view your profile, hence I cannot see your previous posts.

Here is the image with the values. I'm lost at how to convert the values.

Key = Gamepad Key
POS = Position via hidtest
Static = unpressed state
Value = pressed state

I may have. I used this config file. Or you can just copy the code. Mine is named DS3.ini as you see it. It will still say that no config file was found when loading the tool, so just press A on the gamepad. Also, be sure to name it correctly. DS3.ini

Spoiler: Code for DS3.ini

Oh I'm supposed to have the [gamepad] tag too? That might be why mine didn't work. Will try this! Thanks!

I've been trying to get this working on my Wii U over the past 24 hours and can't seem to figure it out. At one point I had my GCN pad working on BoTW, then tried it with my DS4 pad but never got it to work. Now I'm stuck and niether controller will respond at all.

Followed instructions but I must be doing something wrong. From my understanding, I only need HBL and the hidtovpad.elf on a correctly formatted SD to run the exploit through my browser (loadiine.ovh/550/HBLK).

Am I missing something? Do I need to install CFW or anything on my Wii U to use HID to VPAD?

Any help would be much appreciated.

EDIT: got my GCN pad working with Mocha CFW, still no DS4 functionality though.

For me I've got my old ds4 to work without any cfw requirements, just homebrew. From looking at the thread it seems like the new ds4 isn't working for a lot of people, so if you've got one of those you're out of luck.

Anyone have issues files or config files for ps3 controller? Please send me. I can not do the analog work. anyone help me?

Have you tried using version v0.2e? I got the DS3 controller working perfectly on my Wii U without any config file (v0.2 doesn't use config files)... It's weird but whenever I try using v0.9+ it just gives me a black screen. Still can't figure out why. :/

Been using my DS4 to play BoTW. Anyway to disable the auto away in Zelda? My gamepad power saving is disabled.

I've seen several user report a problem with the L stick controls on their DualShock 3 controller.
I had the same problem myself where the Y-axis of the left stick would be mapped to the X-axis on the VPAD. Everything else was working fine.

Use these lines to make a .ini file and the problem should be solved.

[vid=0x054c,pid=0x0268]
//This is a fix for the DualShock 3 controller if you only have trouble with the left analogue stick.

//Thumbsticks
VPad_L_Stick_X = 0x06,0x80
VPad_L_Stick_X_MinMax = 0x00,0xFF
VPad_L_Stick_X_Deadzone = 0x06
VPad_L_Stick_X_Invert = False

VPad_L_Stick_Y = 0x07,0x80
VPad_L_Stick_Y_MinMax = 0x00,0xFF
VPad_L_Stick_Y_Deadzone = 0x06
VPad_L_Stick_Y_Invert = True​

I'm not sure why this works, because the default values implemented in the HID_to_VPAD app are the same as the ones I'm using.
But this fixes the problem for me.

Let me know if it works for you as well.

What are the input values for the sticks if I were to map VPAD_BUTTON_"direction" to say the left stick? I've been trying to use the values from the keyboard section of the wiki but results are coming up nil.

[gamepad]

VPAD_BUTTON_LEFT=VPAD_L_STICK_LEFT
VPAD_BUTTON_RIGHT=VPAD_L_STICK_RIGHT
VPAD_BUTTON_UP=VPAD_L_STICK_UP
VPAD_BUTTON_DOWN=VPAD_L_STICK_DOWN

VPAD_L_STICK_UP=VPAD_BUTTON_UP
VPAD_L_STICK_DOWN=VPAD_BUTTON_DOWN
VPAD_L_STICK_LEFT=VPAD_BUTTON_LEFT
VPAD_L_STICK_RIGHT=VPAD_BUTTON_RIGHT

 

[Maschell]

Thats currently not possible

 

[Arkade789]

Thats currently not possible

If that's the case, then is there such a thing as HID to Wiimote, or if there are any plans on creating such a thing?

On a side note, any way to set analog stick configs besides setting a minmax value? This could solve my problem if each direction of an analog stick is set to a specific bit value as opposed to a range of values. Or maybe even setting specific deadzone (quantized) values as opposed to ranges?

Are you going to help me with the values I posted? I'm still lost on how to convert them to what's needed.

when looking at your post there are some easy things and one maybe fault

for the button A it is sure to be 0x20 in the 5th byte

but when you know binary and hex counting system
something is wrong with LEFT key 0x06 -> is like pressing down and right together -> this has to be checked
maybe its a 0x08 since the other states are already used

you have only to look which bit/nibble has changed from unpressed to pressed state

your values look good and for converting you only have to calculate the 0x08 out of A-Y
so A= 0x20, B=0x40, X=0x80, Y=0x10

all the others take from value on your paper

read the wiki and try to understand what you are doing

 

[cots]

read the wiki and try to understand what you are doing

I did read the wiki, but I'm still not sure how to apply the OR mask. I'm guessing from what you told me that you take the unpressed state value and subtract it from the pressed value state. Though, that wouldn't explain the dpad as I kept the original pressed values and it works.

Yep, that's right. With help from @Arkade789 and yourself I can now control my Wii U with a Logitech F710 Wireless Gamepad! This is totally awesome!

Hi @Maschell ! I have a question:
I'm doing a config file for a F1 PS2 Wheel to play with it on MK8 like the video you shared some weeks ago
But I want to use the gyroscope no the sticks. How Can I do it?
Because I think that if you turn the wheel to a side any value changes (I don't check it) so if I want to replace it to Left stick...
Bye!
PD: If I get it working I will publish it on your GitHub repo of course xD

 

[Maschell]

You are repeating your question?!?!
I don't have the "F1 PS2 Wheel" and I don't know how the data looks like. Execute the HIDTest and read the wiki to create a proper ini. I can't provide any further help without haven either the data nor the device, sorry.

Yes, sorry but like other people
Its a wheel (the thing you use to turn to right or left your car), i don't want specific info, i only want to know that i want to use the gyroscope data instead the sticks one but if i spin/turn to one side the wheel no one byte changes only if i move the stick
bye!

if no byte changes when you move the steering wheel then you cant use as input controller

HIDtoVPAD is "only" converter/mapper of given data from HID-device to another controller
If there is no input from HID-Device you cant use it to control something

it would help if you could give information what data you get when you move the controller (gyro) for a specific direction
if it looks like a analog stick maybe it could be mapped but if we dont have the controller we cant say

its your turn now to describe or better try to map the data to a anlog stick and check if its working

Thanks you a lot Thomas,
At the moment i don't have the device to check it, this is the reason why i asked, for get info until i have the device.
I will give info about all when i will have it, maybe if i move the controller for a side some byte changes, i also asked if is possible that if i move it no one byte changes
Bye!

Can someone help me get my DS4 working? I have the proper config file in the proper directory and I know this because it always says that it found and loaded a valid config. Then it boots me back to (mocha patched) home menu and the DS4 does nothing. It also is getting power because the lightbar is orange!
EDIT:

EDIT 2: Someone told me it's cause I have the newer DS4 where you can see the lightbar through the touchpad. But how would that change my controller? It's literally a tiny change. Maybe add support soon?
