Is it possible to make a app that use the Wii U Pro Controller/Game pad to be emulated as a classic controller on vWii, and how difficult will it be.

May be a stupid question but, It Bothers me how you cant use any type of Wii u accessory at least to emulate different controller in the vWii, so i was wondering how hard it would be to make a homebrew app that makes the Wii U gamepad or pro controller act like a classic controller in vwii and how possible is it to achieve this.
 
Usb loader GX (I assume Wiiflow also?) and nintendont already support Wii U Pro controller for wii/ngc gaming.
Note the support is only within these homebrews, not under the OS. You just pair them like normal, no response but after you went into homebrews you can wakeup and use the controller.
 
Patching individual games to do that would be a matter of not just making them compatible, but also killing their Wiimote save data checks, since Pro Controllers power off when receiving those.
 
The way I see it theoretically, at least in Wii Mode, there could be a way to fool a Wii virtual console game into thinking that a Pro Controller was the gamepad. I imagine that wouldn't go far however unless you're the only person playing said game. Still, this would give pro controller accessibility to a lot of games.

You can already use the gamepad as Wiimote or Classic Controller in Wii VC.

You don't have to fool the system. Just inject gc or wii games (with classic controller support) to the wii u menu with teconmoon or uwuvci and make sure to enable the gamepad as classic controller. Wii u pro controller will just work with gc games though.

I know about the gamepad already. My personal focus is getting the Wii U pro controllers to work on Wii games.

This is impossible on the console. The only way to use wii u pro controller on wii games is via dolphin

Nope, you can buy 8bitdo adapter for NES/SNES classic mini, plug in to wii remote and pair adapter with bt pad but this is kinda stupid and only works with wii games that support pro/classic controller.
