Homebrew Official HID to VPAD

[aljpn91]

My wii u gamepad is almost dead, keeps freezing after few seconds so I barely can load hid to vpad. But after loading it either ds3 or ds4 dont work, I think because my dead gamepad, what can I do to play with ds3 controller without gamepad turned on? Is it even possible?

[edit]
Oh sorry, there is a beta with pro controller support. To map my controller as Pro controller do I need to create specific ini or smth? Sorry guys, I could just try but it took me almost 2 hours to enter HBL with gamepad in current state

[edit2]

Everything works perfectly ( tried in botw with DS4), thank You very much for your work, You literally save my ass

you got it to work without the gamepad? please tell me which version you used and thanks is advance

Yes, I downloaded version from post on page 34, then enter HBL with both wiimote and broken gamepad(hard as hell). Choose first pro controller and map DS4. In menu I remove battery from gamepad, and thats it. Start botw and press button on DS4 at warning about not connected gamepad, will show "playing as pro controller", thats all. But I have another problem, after few minutes console dim my screen because of inactivity, dont know why. Anyone knows? Sorry about my english mates

Have you tried the example config provided at the bottom of the controller mapping wiki page and changing it around a bit for botw?

I'll show you how I tried to make a config. I tried to swap the dual start button and make that a single button, just plus on the gamepad. Then my idea was to swap it by making the Y button on the gamepad also function as the A button, both bound to the gamecube's Y button, So I am able to use the ingame button combination, which is ZL + A. I can't use this combo because gamecube button A is gamepad right stick click when pressing the double use button gamecube button Z.

I also tried to use the default config and edit it, like so:

I am probably doing something wrong, I'm not really good at understanding these configs

thank mate, gonna try that out.
you need to disable burn in reduction in system settings.

Snip

Im busy right now but in the next hour or so I can pull out my GCN controllers and see if I can get them working in botw and post the config if I can

I disabled every power saving options unfortunately :/

 

[aljpn91]

go to gamepad, system settings, then click on the orange icon "screen burn in reduction" and select "don't use"

If this works with the switch pro controller... LOL

Umm... i tried it again with the Switch Pro Controller, but i have 2 problems
I cant see nothing until i press the SYNC button (maybe all buttons work but i didn't test it)
And in some positions there are values that i haven't seen never but without pressing any button, but if i press any button no one value changes, they are the same all the time
Do you know how to solve it @Maschell ?
Bye!

Ya lo intente yo y nada
I have tried it and nothing

Switch Pro Controllers becomes HID-device only when you connect it via Bluetooth.
Use ChronusMax and see if that works.

 

[aljpn91]

@Maschell just wanted to report that neither cod: black ops 2 or cod: ghosts work when my DS3 is set as pro controller or gamepad in your latest beta
bo2 freezes on black screen after splash screen and ghosts freezes on splash screen
hope you can fix these issues in a future update and thanks for all the work you've done

I've been trying to get a Logitech F710 Wireless Gamepad to work. The hidtest program works, but when I use my configuration for the controller the A,B,X,Y and the DPAD UP,DOWN,LEFT,RIGHT are messed up. The DPAD (no matter which direction I press) registers as "X" and A,B,X,Y does nothing at all. They all use the 0x05 base offset. Might that be what's wrong? The rest of the buttons work fine.

Here is the .ini I created ...

//LogitechWirelessF710Gamepad

[vid=0x046D,pid=0xC219]

VPad_L_Stick_Y_Invert=true
VPad_R_Stick_Y_Invert=true

I'd really like to get this working as a wireless solution would be ideal. Any ideas on what I can do to get it to work?

 

[Maschell]

You need to write the changes betweens the states into the config.
It will be used as a bitmask

Is that directed at me? If so what am I doing wrong? (Example please)

I have a ds4 fully working with the default .ini. The problem is that deadzones are too little and when I'm playing BOTW, link walks slowly by just putting my tumb in the stick... Can anyone help me?

For example this doesn't look right:

VPAD_BUTTON_A=0x05,0x48
VPAD_BUTTON_B=0x05,0x28

This should probably be:

VPAD_BUTTON_A=0x05,0x40
VPAD_BUTTON_B=0x05,0x20

So I just have to put that fragment of code on a ds4.ini and that's it?

Switch Pro Controllers becomes HID-device only when you connect it via Bluetooth.
Use ChronusMax and see if that works.

I think no because in the compatibility page says that the Wii U Pro Controller is supported in a few consoles but other console controllers are not supported on Wii U (or they forgot to write it)
Bye!

I tried the default values for the DS3 in BotW. Everything works fine except for the left analogue stick. It seems like the y-axis on my DS3 controller is mapped to the x-axis of the vpad. I tried to swap the x and y axis for the left stick but it didn't work.

My attempt:
[vid=0x054c,pid=0x0268]
//Setting the sticks
VPAD_BUTTON_L_STICK_X = DS3_STICK_L_Y
VPAD_BUTTON_L_STICK_Y = DS3_STICK_L_X


I also have a DS4 (new version). But that one doesn't work at all.

I also bought a generic bluetooth USB adapter from ebay. Is it possible to get that to work? Do I need to find the correct 'vid' and 'pid' for the bluetooth controller en map the buttons?
