    Homebrew Official HID to VPAD

    Yes, my modified build supports bit lengths from 8 to 16. But your MinMax can only be 8 bit (so as not to break the processing for existing INI files). The high bytes of each 16 bit pair will be entered in the MinMax_MSB. So in your example INI MinMax should be 0x00, 0xFF. MinMax_MSB is correct...

    Homebrew Official HID to VPAD

    Yes, it's probably signed, which is a way to store both positive and negative numbers in binary. So instead of encoding 0-255 in a byte, you use it to store -128 to 127 including zero. Or for example -32768 to 32767 in a pair of bytes. The binary data is still the same - a byte is still 0-255...

    Homebrew NUSspli - Install content directly from the Nintendo Update Servers to your Wii U

    Bug report: I use NUSspli using Homebrew Launcher and it forced me to update but every time it said the date and time were wrong. They were accurate to the minute. I manually downloaded the new version 1.146 and replaced the wiiu/apps/nusspli folder on my SD. Every time I launch it it tries once...

    "GBA Link Connection" homebrew libraries now allows sending multiboot ROMs via the GBA's Link Cable or Wireless Adapter

    A multiboot program is one that entirely fits within and is executed from the 256KB of external work RAM of the GBA. The GBA has a further 32KB of internal work RAM which this code can use while running. This means the GBA can run it with no cart inserted. If you boot a GBA with Start+Select...

    "GBA Link Connection" homebrew libraries now allows sending multiboot ROMs via the GBA's Link Cable or Wireless Adapter

    The thing is, cool as this is as a tech demo, if you have multiboot programs on your flashcart, there is no need for this since you can safely pull out the cart when they're loaded. So imagine you want to load a multiboot game or emulator+ROM on a friend's GBA - you can just hand them your cart...

    Homebrew Official HID to VPAD

    After painstakingly chipping away at this I'm proud to have been able to add Adaptoid support: https://github.com/Maschell/controller_patcher/pull/42 It works perfectly in the Wii U port of Super Mario 64, and in Wii U titles, but for some reason I have yet to understand it only buffers the...

    ROM Hack Doom 1 GBA PC Doom Total Conversion just gives blank screen

    I can confirm - doesn't work on my 3DS either. Fine on actual GBA.

    Homebrew Official HID to VPAD

    I have been working on modifying controller_patcher to support multibyte stick input and non-byte-aligned data. Both are necessary for the Adaptoid which uses a pair of 12bit signed values for its axes. I have built the library, and built HID-to-VPAD around it but there are some issues with it...

    Homebrew Official HID to VPAD

    I did some experiments with my Adaptoid and I have determined how it works. I wrote it up here on the controller_patcher GitHub: https://github.com/Maschell/controller_patcher/issues/23 HID-to-VPAD uses controller_patcher. The issue is that the controller_patcher code assumes 8bit values. The...

    Homebrew Official HID to VPAD

    I have just noticed that this doesn't seem to work with a Wavebird connected to the official Nintendo GameCube controller adaptor for Wii U. Yet the same setup works fine for Nintendont. I see the receiver's LED when I press buttons, but HID to VPAD just doesn't detect the presses. Does this...

    Homebrew Ship of Harkinian (Ocarina of Time) Wii U Port

    I couldn't find information on how to extract the OTR using MacOS anywhere so I'm posting here to help others - hopefully it should show up in a web search at least. I had tried to run the OTRGui.exe tool in a Windows 10 Virtual Box VM but even that wouldn't work, it failed at the point it was...

    Ezflash IV NOR flash usually boots to black screen

    I vaguely remember having lots of issues with the NOR on the older firmwares, but it has been fine on the latest. Might be that?

    Super Goomba 2.0

    Nice - I had long been meaning to capture a better standard green palette than the pea soup one.
