Homebrew Homebrew Launcher with D-Pad Support?

[draonclaw]

I was wondering if someone knows of or (sorry of being greedy) could make a version of the homebrew channel that supports the dpad. While trying to repair my wii u's screen, I accidentally the thing that's supposed to hold the touchscreen's strip and lost it so I can't use the touch screen anymore. Thanks in advanced.

You *should* be able to use Wiimotes for input (?)

It would be nice to use something other than the touch screen/wiimote to select homebrew.

Yes wiimote input works.

I was able to implement button-only controls, but there are currently no visual cues, and there won't be until I can find the time to completely rewrite HBL's input engine (or find another hacky way to add visual cues).

Can't believe I didn't try using the wiimote, lol. Welp, thanks everybody! You've been a great help to me!

Homebrew launcher with d-pad support would be a huge help actually. Don't like either touch screens or Wiimotes (unless they have a controller plugged in).

GG ! Thank you !

I hope you'll implement the visual effects when you'll have the time.

I just wanted to thank you for this mod, it's helped me a lot!
I'm on a quest of using my wiiu gamepad-less (or DRC_SIM -less) since do don't own a gamepad.

How hard do you think it'd be to do a similar mod to the ftpiiu_everywhere app?
It only allow for exiting out using the home-button of the gamepad and it's my last piece of the puzzle to not have to simulate a gamepad for transferring and installing games and apps.

Thanks mate!
