Homebrew Homebrew app I made the gamepad camera work - WiiUCamera

Thanks to SurpriseGloomy2073 from Reddit for giving me the idea to post it here too!

I find this forum quite interesting, and I'm glad there's a Wii U section.
Getting to the point, a few days ago I decided to create a homebrew app that uses the GamePad's camera as a functional camera!
It can take photos, record videos (still in progress), and take pictures... with basic filters xd. It also includes a gallery and a photo editor (in beta).

If you'd like to know more, you can check out my GitHub repository for much more information
Link: Github Link
This is also available on the HB App Store (for Aroma): HB App Store

Additionally, thank you to everyone interested in this project!
You are my inspiration and my source of future ideas.
I assure you that the next update will be great!

PS: Only Aroma for now; I'll soon create compatibility for Tiramisu.

Despite the low res , is Full screen streaming is feasable ?

And thanks, Nice to see new project around.

If you mean displaying the camera's recording across the entire screen... well, not quite. Initially, I managed to get it to fit the whole screen, but it looked awful and squashed.

I'll try to refine it much more, but I can't promise much due to the low resolution.

Thanks for your interest!
