Homebrew Official HID to VPAD

Jayinem81 · Jun 13, 2020

I'm not sure why some people's steering wheels have problems while mine works, but I just tried Mario Kart 8 (I had to remap the gas button from A to RZ in wiiu/controllers to make gas be my actual pedal and same for brake) but now I can play it fine. I also tried for the heck of it Mario Kart DS,Star Fox 64 and Excitebike 64, pretty fun. I have a Ferrari 458 Wheel for Xbox 360 and PC, works fine with the Network Client while hooked up to my PC after I added the .ini for the vid and pid of my wheel.

Does anyone has a Nyko gamecube adapter? can't seem to make it work with hid to vpad, tested it with Smash Wii U and even used it on the Switch and it works fine.

Nevermind, I can just use the network client

Is there any way I can work with DualShock 4 for PS4 Slim? (I believe it is v2)

I was also curious if there is a way to use 3DS as a control similar to Smash Controller for 3DS.

You may have to use the Network Client for the newer DS4.

You can use a 3DS as a controller: https://gbatemp.net/threads/3ds-as-xinput-controller-pinbox.522368/.

So I guess third party switch controllers don't work with nintendon't? Even though I can press buttons in HID test?

You most likely have to make your own config and make a folder on your sd card call it controllers and add it there with the VID and PID included if it's not included here https://github.com/FIX94/Nintendont/tree/master/controllerconfigs

I actually did, which is the problem. No controls move. But it works with HIDtoVPAD.

I don't guarantee anything but try this I just rearranged the order to match mine. There is also the possibility that it just might not work.

The original Switch Pro Controller work with motion controls ?

Yeahhhh, it doesn't work. That's unfortunate.

Jayinem81 · Jun 22, 2020

You might not but if you have any Dualshock 3s laying around I use those wireless with Mayflash Magic NS for both hidtovpad and nintendont. There's also network client for hidtovpad I wish there was one for Nintendont but no such luck.

I can use a wireless DS3 with the charger connected to directly play with from the Wii U. Works perfectly
Just wish the faceoff controller worked. Oh well.

Motion controls aren't really supported, though Maschell had a go at building it into the Network Client. He couldn't get them working well enough to include, but has published the source code for the experiment. A fellow forum member has made a build: https://gbatemp.net/threads/hid-to-vpad.424127/page-106

You may need an additional tool to translate the Switch signal to DS4.
Please report back on whether this works for you.

Im going to start reading through this thread but has anyone made an ini of the SN30 Pro Wired 8Bitdo controller? I'm such a noob at this USB controller stuff but wanna know if it's possible to use. thanks

Jesusbiz · Jun 26, 2020

Is there a way to use the network client on Android? I don't have a pc here. Please help me.

"Double Use" button mappings are completely broken if you ignore the default configuration and try to customize the mappings:

It's too bad. Otherwise, this would be an extremely useful program. (By the way, there are errors in the examples.)

I dug into this because I really wanted a setup where the home button was available. After some digging into the repo at Maschell/controller_patcher on github, I think I managed to resolve the typos and mis-copy pastes in the old example. This example flips the L/ZL toggle so that the default state of the gamecube L button is N64 Z. It also swaps Minus for Home; unfortunately, it seems that despite HID to VPAD seeing that Home is being pressed, it doesn't actually trigger the homescreen and makes having the pad at hand still necessary. I'll likely keep playing with this later but for now I just want to sit down and play a game, so I'll dump what I have here in the hopes that someone else finds it useful.

Code:

[vid=0x057e,pid=0x0337]
[IgnoreDefault] //Ignoring the built in default values

//Settings buttons that are not double used
VPAD_BUTTON_X                   =    GC_BUTTON_X
VPAD_BUTTON_Y                   =    GC_BUTTON_Y

//Setting dpad
DPAD_MODE                       =    GC_DPAD_MODE
VPAD_BUTTON_LEFT                =    GC_BUTTON_LEFT
VPAD_BUTTON_RIGHT               =    GC_BUTTON_RIGHT
VPAD_BUTTON_UP                  =    GC_BUTTON_UP
VPAD_BUTTON_DOWN                =    GC_BUTTON_DOWN

//Setting the sticks
VPAD_L_STICK_X           =    GC_STICK_L_X
VPAD_L_STICK_Y           =    GC_STICK_L_Y
VPAD_R_STICK_X           =    GC_STICK_R_X
VPAD_R_STICK_Y           =    GC_STICK_R_Y

//Acitvate double using
DOUBLE_USE                      =    true
DOUBLE_USE_BUTTON_ACTIVATOR     =    GC_BUTTON_Z


//Setting buttons for GC START
VPAD_BUTTON_PLUS                =   GC_BUTTON_START
VPAD_BUTTON_HOME                =   GC_BUTTON_START

//define which button will be used at which state
DOUBLE_USE_BUTTON_1_PRESSED     =   VPAD_BUTTON_HOME //Value when the acitvator is pressed
DOUBLE_USE_BUTTON_1_RELEASED     =   VPAD_BUTTON_PLUS //Value when the acitvator is released


//Setting buttons for GC R
VPAD_BUTTON_R                  =    GC_BUTTON_R
VPAD_BUTTON_ZR                 =    GC_BUTTON_R

//define which button will be used at which state
DOUBLE_USE_BUTTON_2_PRESSED     =   VPAD_BUTTON_ZR //Value when the acitvator is pressed
DOUBLE_USE_BUTTON_2_RELEASED     =   VPAD_BUTTON_R //Value when the acitvator is released


//Setting buttons for GC L
VPAD_BUTTON_L                  =    GC_BUTTON_L
VPAD_BUTTON_ZL                 =    GC_BUTTON_L

//define which button will be used at which state
DOUBLE_USE_BUTTON_3_PRESSED     =   VPAD_BUTTON_L //Value when the acitvator is pressed
DOUBLE_USE_BUTTON_3_RELEASED     =   VPAD_BUTTON_ZL //Value when the acitvator is released


//Setting buttons for GC A
VPAD_BUTTON_A                  =    GC_BUTTON_A
VPAD_BUTTON_STICK_L            =    GC_BUTTON_A

//define which button will be used at which state
DOUBLE_USE_BUTTON_4_PRESSED     =   VPAD_BUTTON_STICK_L //Value when the acitvator is pressed
DOUBLE_USE_BUTTON_4_RELEASED     =   VPAD_BUTTON_A //Value when the acitvator is released


//Setting buttons for GC B
VPAD_BUTTON_B                  =    GC_BUTTON_B
VPAD_BUTTON_STICK_R            =    GC_BUTTON_B

//define which button will be used at which state
DOUBLE_USE_BUTTON_5_PRESSED     =   VPAD_BUTTON_STICK_R //Value when the acitvator is pressed
DOUBLE_USE_BUTTON_5_RELEASED     =   VPAD_BUTTON_B //Value when the acitvator is released

//The adapter has 4 ports.
PAD_COUNT                       =   0x04

AIUI disabling the Home button was a conscious choice because once the overlay opened, it was not possible to dismiss it again (either the second Home press, or somehow that activating the overlay this way prevented HID-to-Vpad from reporting *any* buttons).

If you haven't figure it out already, the sn30 pro works in MacOS mode which is start+a

Jayinem81 · Jun 28, 2020

Can't figure this out.

-Had Mario Kart working with my steering wheel using Network client (default accelerate = A, had to change it to my gas pedal on my wheel which is R2)
Messed with it a thousand times since, and trying to not use the Network client but hooked up to the Wii U. It seems like no matter what I cannot change Accelerate from A. What's weird is when Mario Kart launches it says press A and I hit the gas pedal and it works. Should be problem solved, but somehow after that it no longer works A is the same button to get through all the menus but it changes from gas pedal to A on my wheel. Makes no sense to me it's the same button and should just work always how can I hit gas pedal for A when it first launches then can't after that.

The dumb game should have at least given you the option for R2 to accelerate because every racing game on the PS3, Xbox 360 and even Wii U except Mario Kart 8 has that by default. I'm not even exaggerating I have pretty much loaded every racing game on all 3 consoles and they all have that except Mario Kart 8.
