Homebrew Homebrew app Bloopair: Connect Controllers from other Consoles natively

[Willicious]

having Youtube on my Wii U

Hmm. How are you doing this, may I ask? YouTube hasn't worked on Wii U for quite a while. Are you using homebrew or have you somehow kept the app working?

 

[GazModz]

I really need to browse the forums more often, this is great!

COOOOOL THIS IS WOOD OWKAF yeahghhhh

 

[meeeow]

just for the record: I have two 3rd party wiimotes from two different companies. One of these wiimotes is not able to pair with the wii u when the Wii U booted with tiramisu/bloopair. When the Wii U boots without an inserted sd card, i.e. without tiramisu/bloopair, the wiimote syncs and gets detected when booting with sd card inserted again.

Thank you! Works well with Xbox One S.
I have downloaded firmware from v5.x to v3.x using Xbox Accessories application. Should add this to FAQ section.

Maybe you have internet issues, YouTube works fine on it for me on the wii u with no homebrew

I found few issue with vWii.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Loaded in to vWii homebrew and turn on synced Xbox One S controller => console shutdown after a minute.
2. Or load Genesis Plus GX in vWii homebrew and turn on synced Xbox One S controller, press sync on controller and console => console shutdown immediately.

Bloopair doesn't work in the wii mode of the wii u. It is just for the wii u os.

What would be a probable reason why my official Xbox One controller is not pairing with my hacked Wii U (Tiramisu)?

Is it really an Xbox one or series s/x controller?

iirc, there was an update for the xbox one controller that makes it not work, so you have to downgrade it. I think the latter update and series controllers use a later bluetooth protocol that the wiiu is incapable of.

 

[netsurf012]

Yes, the latest firmware for Xbox One (s) controller is 5.13.3143.0 (from my one s controller). This version added / switched to Bluetooth BLE, it is not supported and will not work with Wii U.
You need to revert to previous firmware version: 3.1.1221.0

Here is a quick guide to do:
1. Install Xbox Accessories application from Microsoft Store: https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/xbox-accessories/9NBLGGH30XJ3?hl=en-us&gl=US
2. Plug your controller to your computer with USB cable, make sure it is detected by the Xbox Accessories application.
3. Press Win + R to open Run dialog, paste this into the Open input box: xboxaccessories:\\firmwareupdate?legacyDowngrade=true then press enter to run.
4. Follow the instruction to revert firmware to previous version.

I kind of suspected this. And yes. my Xbox One controller has an updated firmware.

Feel free to try it out...

I don't have it yet, that's why I ask

 

[BattlingNebula]

Hey, I'm trying to connect my Dualshock 4 to my WiiU as a Pro controller using Bloopair but it always detects it as a Wiimote instead. Can someone please help me understand what's going on? I tried going to settings and forgetting all Wiimote connections and retried syncing multiple times. Results are the same. The WiiU is an NTSC-J console and i am using Tiramisu latest version on latest 5.5.6 Firmware.

If you're talking about the icon in the home button menu, that's expected. Even official pro controllers have a wiimote icon there.

 

[GerBrew]

Is there a way to Switch the A/B and X/Y Button layout?
I’m useing a Xbox One Controller and the standard button layout confuses me.

 

[bahamut920]

IIRC you can remap Pro Controllers in the Wii U menu, so even if Bloopair doesn't support it you can swap the offending buttons manually.
