right now I'm using drc-sim so load up homebrew, I tried loading wiiubru.com and load homebrew channel from bookmark using only the wiimote but homebrew seems to have weird bugs whenever there is no gamepad connected.
for example homebrew launcher shows no apps unless I have drc-sim connected.
drc-sim is also outdated and reports the wrong the wrong fw, triggering the failing update attempt, why workaround for this is that on every boot I have to do the "aquire key" step, or the wii u won't let me connect using the "final" connection before you run the drc-sim.py
have to make it time-out on the sync screen so it returns to system menu (or it triggers the gamepad update attempt), then connect and I can use the wii u until it either crashes and forces me to reboot or the next time wii u menu loads it checks the gamepad again!
the problem seems to be that the gamepad sync is not finalized/saved permanently until after the update check has succeeded.
so it sounds to me as if drclib is the only way to change the gamepads region unless we can connect to the gamepad in a purely homebrew fashion.
eagerly awaiting any progress on this, for now I have atleast managed to get haxchi installed! (but nds VC wants gamepad to even launch, lol!)
Im trying to get the drc-sim work. But still error. Please help.. tell me what linux distro or version that work for you? I use debian jessie 8.6 python2 and python3 amd64. Still cant get it to work. I can pair with wiiU. Drc-sim.py giving me error.
