Homebrew Official HID to VPAD

[Maschell]

Quick question but for odd reasons when I want to use HIDtoVpad's network client it does not detect my Xbox One controller except for the nightly version. But when booting HIDtoVpad on the Wii U and applying the patches the screen just remains black forever which probably means it crashed. Any idea why this happens? I also changed the HIDtoVpad on the Wii U just in case if the versions need to match so it can work. I have attempted to use the stable version but same issue occurs.

Make sure to use the HBL 1.4 compatible exploit to load HID to VPAD.
For the browser this would http://u.wiidb.de/
Haxchi should also be fine. All other browser exploit probably WON'T work.

is there any to make it so windwaker hd doesnt dim the screen while using this?

U should first test with HID test if the adapter is recongnized and take note of both PID and VID. Next on the sd browse to wiiu/controllers and check if there is a configuration file for the pid=[PID], vid=VID
if not then u should create a configuration file using this readme:
I'm currently trying to configure a tirthparty 4port wii u gamecube port adapter. Its recognized but not fully working (yet), when i'm done i'll add it to the repo

Hi earithramir
Thank for your message
I found the main issue: mine 4port wiiu gamecube adapter is also a third party one...I will try to create my own ini file...if I will succeed I will also upload it to github
Anyone else that has a 3rd party adapter and would like to share the .ini file?
Thank you in advance

Hello guys,
Is it possibile to use this homebrew to remap the wiiu gamepad (or any "HID to VPAD compatible" gamepads) to invert "y axis" on the right joystick?
Basically, I would like to use this tool to reverse the y axis visual for videogames (e.g. Zelda Wind Waker HD) where you can't reverse y axis in game.
Do i have to edit the config file of my controller before launching the tool?
Thanks again.

I'm using the gamecube adapter, everything works fine but the left stick makes the character walk slow (tried with Breath of the wild and Bayonetta), I tried different Gamecube controllers with the same result. I made an ini file but it doesn't seem to apply the changes. Any idea how i could make the characters walk normally?

I have it like sd:/wiiu/controller/GC Pad.ini

and to test I added the lines from the wiki:

[vid=0x057e,pid=0x0337]
VPAD_R_STICK_Y_INVERT = true

And had no effect.

Have you finally managed to invert y axis on right stick? If so, How have you edited the config.ini for the gamepad? thanks

Guys I am having a problem. I am using a new model DualShock 4 with the network client via Bluetooth. But when I press a on the game pad for it to emulate the pro controller, a bunch of random buttons are pressed! Is there a solution for this?

Is no one actually loooking at this thread?

This sounds like the config file doesn't match what your controller is outputting. They are reasonably straightforward to make (https://github.com/Maschell/controller_patcher/wiki/5.d-Controller-|-Adding-new-devices)/edit. You will need to get the PC version of HID Test and check that the byte that changes when you press each DS4 button is the one listed in the config file for the relevant WiiU button (and that the VID/PID match).

Problem solved thanks, but I cannot use it for nintendont as well. Any solution? Here is my thread: https://gbatemp.net/posts/8511048/

Hi, folks. I've been rummaging through the thread to see if there is a solution to the left stick issue, where it won't register forward properly. Any luck with that? I really want to use my Switch pro with BotW, and I'm not buying it again on the Switch, lol.

Get the .ini file from the repo it may be corrupted

That's the one I tried, though. No luck.

EDIT: I messed around with the values and sort of got it to work, but still gives me pause, 'cause sometimes it'll still say I'm holding the stick back in the app, when it's in neutral position.

Unfortunately, I think you’re out of luck. The guide to editing controller config files https://github.com/Maschell/controller_patcher/wiki/5.c-Controller-|-Configurate-the-Dualshock-4-controller says that the newer DS4 model doesn’t work over USB. The alternative is the Network Client, but this only talks to HID to VPAD, not to Nintendont.

There might be a hardware solution like Cronus, MagicNS or one of Brook’s Super Converters - they can emulate other controllers that should connect, but you should check whether they claim compatibility with the newer DS4 before buying.

Which one would work for Mario kart Wii? I want it to emulate a classic controller

Hi, is it possible to use the Retrobit N64 USB controller with HID to VPAD?

Ask someone’s to make a config file for you and yes but you will need an adapter

Oh no sorry! That is a usb controller so you don’t need an adapter! My mistake. And you can do your own config file following this tutorial: https://github.com/Maschell/controller_patcher/wiki/5.d-Controller-|-Adding-new-devices I made one by myself for the DualShock 1 and the PowerA wired gamecube controller

Magic-NS is probably your best bet - looking on Amazon, it seems to be cheaper than any of the specific converters, and it can emulate the Switch Pro Controller. There is a config file for Switch Pro Controller here https://github.com/Maschell/controller_patcher_configs, so it should work with Nintendont.

But if magic ns emulates a switch pro, then how am I supposed to use this with Mario kart Wii on vwii mode? I understand that it would work with nintendont because it has support for switch pro but Mario kart Wii?
