Since I can't provide the main.dol because it's copyright material I prepared a folder to simple patch.

Note it only applies to the USA version of the game (I tried DCKR v1.01)
What it patch: Y=run, B=jump, ZR=blow/stomp

Open your ISO with WiiScrubber

In DATA partition look for main.dol file, right click extract and save it on DKRC CC patch folder

In the DKRC CC patch folder open apply_patch.bat

With the main.dol patched go to WiiScrubber again, select main.dol right click replace and select the patched main.dol

???

Profit

Now you can inject your shiny new DKRC with gamepad support

The patcher .exe is part of @Wiimm tools, and the .gct code is from @crediar so I don't take credit on that.

I'm getting an error that says cygwin1.dll was not found.

Is there another way to modify main.dol? More importantly, is there a tutorial for adding .gct codes? I would really like to get this classic controller hack going for Donkey Kong Country Returns and the gameplay changes for Maxximum edition without having to use USB Loader.

I tried installing the base packages earlier and that didn't work. Even though the website tells you not to install the whole thing, I'm going to try it and see if that works.

Sorry, I lost all my Wii U hacking data, did you try adding cygwin1.dll into windows/system/dlls folder?

notedwiiuhaver · Jul 14, 2020

Long time lurker but I ran into this with DKCR myself. I was able to use cucholix’s method to patch the .dol, and it worked great. But - I just had to install Wiimm’s iso tools (wit) first. That fixed it. Those tools are what the batch file you run to patch it relies on - just having the one file in the zip file from cucholix did not seem to work. I can’t link wit because I am new, but I did not have to install cygwin as its own thing - I tried that first, and it did not work.

DKCR with a classic controller is excellent so I hope this works and helps you!

TimboTuesday · Jul 15, 2020

I tried installing wit normally and in compatibility mode and neither worked for me. Installing cygwin was a big disappointment for me too. I tried installing the base files and everything that started with cygwin and it didn't work.

I'm running Windows 10 I've installed Wiimm's wit and szs tools. Installing szs allowed me to get past the dll exception but it still doesn't actually patch the file. I also attempted to install cygwin that app was too much for my very full hdd so I tried to install all of what I thought were the relevant parts but that didn't help either.

Update on the Donkey Kong Country Returns classic controller code efforts: we got it up and running. @TimboTuesday and I experimented a lot, and thank you to him for all the efforts testing.

This is a little long, but we figured out two things that needed to happen to get his game up and running with Gamepad support. First, to use the batch file from @cucholix , he needed to have szs and possibly wit from Wiimm's toolset installed. That solved the cygwin problem. Second, he apparently had version 2 of DKCR, and that needs a different Gecko code and therefore a different .gct. Did a lot of searching and found a post by Badablek from 2015 that included 2 versions of the code, and the v2 version worked in Dolphin and on hardware. Then as a bonus, we updated it so that R = shake, Y = run, B = jump.

I'm too new to upload a file or link to that toolset or the 2015 post, but I'm sure glad it was all there. Anyway, here's the Gecko code we used to make into a .gct to replace the one in the post, if you have v2 and the original one didn't work for you.

So anyone who needs the DKCR CC hack to work to play your Wii U Gamepad, there you go. If the original method doesn't work, here's another fix to try. Hope this all helps others in the future. This thread and the injector have been great!

willianholtz · Jul 25, 2020

OK, now, if when injecting games from wii to wii u we can use the gamepad, why can't we on vwii? Is there any way to inject the compatibility patch into .iso or .wbfs?

No, the patch is for Wii U mode only. Wii (thus, also vWii) was a very difficult console to get other controllers working. It's never been done really except there's a way to use a gamecube controller by attaching an adapter to the Wiimote that's about it.

So in the case of the Injector, do you mean that it simulates the control of the GC instead of the classic wii?

Jayinem81 · Jul 25, 2020

No that's not what I mean. It simulates classic controller I said in Wii mode the only other controllers that will work is a gamecube controller with an adapter. You can't use a gamepad, or like a Playstation or Xbox controller in wii mode. Those are all possible in Wii U mode but Wii games are left out.

TESTING Hello Tizetre and Kit.

lordofsquad · Jul 30, 2020

Apologies if this is a common problem, I couldn't find a fix for it. I've installed an injected Gamecube game to try out, but it just won't save at all. I've enabled memcard emulation in my cfg using the Nintendont cfg manager included in the program, but it seems like it won't write anything to my SD card once it's in my Wii U no matter what I do. The game just doesn't save anything, and when I try and go change my Nintendont cfg through vWii, it won't save any of my settings through there either. I've tried it with the SD read-only-switch in either position, but no luck either way. I know that's not really the problem anyway since the switch works appropriately when I plug the SD card back into my PC reader... Any ideas?

Noizecreep · Jul 31, 2020

Ok so no idea what I'm doing wrong as I have literally done nothing except add the boot.dol file and I get this message immediately:

What's that all about then? :s

Hello. I’ve trying to play Baroque using injector, but “force connect classic gamepad” option isn’t working. Game is starting with message “communication with wii remote have been interrupted”. Is there any workaround? Thanks!

UserMCSkull · Aug 2, 2020

Does this work with Playstation 1 games?

No, the closest thing to that is making an injection/forwarder to a PSX emulator.
But PSX games? No. This is for Wii/GameCube/Wii Homebrew only.

UserMCSkull · Aug 2, 2020

Is there a thread for how to make PSX injects? I really want to make one, thanks

Again, the closest thing to that is making an inject for a PSX emulator. Making injects for individual PSX games is currently not possible. As for making a injection of an emulator, the emulator you're looking for is WiiSX RX. Just keep in mind that not all games are compatible, so inevitably you're going to find games that just don't work.
Look here for more information regarding WiiSX RX: https://gbatemp.net/threads/wiisx-rx-a-new-fork.570252/
