Homebrew Tutorial
Updated
It is now possible to use 2 Wii U GamePads in Wii U games!
The ability to use two GamePads on one console exists in the code, but was never released. It is possible to still use this though! Lets hop in!
PLEASE BE WARNED THAT YOUR SYSTEM COULD BE PUT INTO A RECOVERABLE OR UNRECOVERABLE BRICK IF YOU MAKE A MISTAKE USING THE SYSTEM CONFIG TOOL, SO PLEASE DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!
We will be using these homebrew tools:
Aroma Environment
Gamepad To Pro Plugin
System Config Tool (WILL NOT BE LINKED FOR LEGAL REASONS!)
A second Wii U GamePad
The Simple Guide:
1. Get the Gamepad to Pro Plugin, and put it in your SD card where your plugins usually go.
2. Set the channels accordingly in the Aroma plugin menu. Set the first gamepad to FALSE if you do not want a Pro Controller to be emulated on DRC0. (Primary GamePad) For the Second GamePad, it should ALWAYS be set to TRUE. DRC1 (Second GamePad) usually never registers input. This will allow DRC1 to send input to the emulated Pro Controller.
The channels should be 0 and 1. If you are using a real Wii Remote or Pro controller alongside these patches, then set it to 1 and 2. You get the point.
3. Enter the Sys Config Tool, and go to the DRC settings. Enable the option Multi DRC, and pair the second GamePad there. Once it is paired, you should see the System Config Tool displaying on DRC1. (Second GamePad)
(PLEASE BE WARNED THE SYSTEM CONFIG TOOL HAS BEEN CONSIDERED DANGEROUS! ONE SMALL MISTAKE COULD LEAD TO A BRICK! IT IS UNKNOWN IF IRREVERSIBLE, BUT USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. THE TOOL IS ALSO TECHNICALLY ILLEGAL, IT WILL NOT BE LINKED HERE.)
4. Once you exit the Config Tool, you should hear audio playing from DRC1. This means Multi DRC mode has been successfully activated!!
Please be aware that there are multiple flaws when Multi DRC is activated. DRC0 will have many connection issues, and DRC1 will NOT display anything on the screen.
5. With the code in the system and Aroma now activated, try booting a game! If it works, you did it! Congrats! If not, it may be a channel issue, or game issue. Smash 4 has been reported to not work with the emulated Pro Controller
Whenever you reboot the console, Multi DRC option MUST be re enabled in the System Config Tool.
Have fun with wacky multi-GamePad support! (And buggy, lol)
