I’ve been wanting to add more functions to the Wii U tv remote, I’ve heard the only way to add more function is to create a custom firmware for the gamepad which I very much would not like to do because of the high probability of bricking it (I’m not made of money). Would it be possible to make an app that has access to the infrared blaster in order to clone signals from a tv remote? Or is the blaster locked to the tv remote section of the gamepad’s firmware? As far as I know no app has used the ir blaster like this which is the reasoning behind my question.

    It's not so different than having your phone in your hands 24/7, which most young people do nowdays. Like sitting at a table or room together, but everyone is in they own world staring at they phone.

    That's the parents fault to begin with, not teaching control and discipline.

    @kijetesantakalu042, Throw the iPad away and teach him proper education that doesn't involve technology. Even better become amish.

    I don't even have an iphone. All I do with a phone is text and call family and friends and a shitty phone from several years ago was good enough.
