Hacking libwupc - A WiiU Pro Controller Library for Wii Homebrew Applications

[Cyan]

it's a way to use WiiU Pro in Homebrew only.
don't expect to use it in official games to replace the regular Classic Controller pad.

Nobody can do GensplusGX??

genplus gx is still a really active project so you might want to add a issue on the google code.

Any way to make the Wiiu Pro Controller detect as controller 2? When I start SNESGX, the Wiimote is automatically detected as controller 1. When I start the Wii pro controller it is also detected as controller 1. Both controllers appear to work as controller 1 at the same time (in parallel). Ideally, I could make the pro controller (or wiimote) controller 2.

Have it disconnect all Wii remotes after WPAD_Init. You can then sync them in the order you want.

Id love to , but i have no idea how to patch it myself.
Anyone have a guide of sorts?

I tried SNES and NES and it works amazingly with the wii u pro , finally something i can use this controller with! Thanks fix94 you're a boss!

You dont use Nintendont? Works with that so well.

Any plans to update the wiiflow plugins snes9xgx and fceugx?

I'd like to know this as well!

I'd love to actually be able to load the Wii-U Pro compatible emus with the Wii-U Pro modded WiiFlow. Yet, I'm still having to manually boot them through the HBC instead, because the plugins are outdated. =/

Unless, there's some step I'm missing?

if possible to add these new lib's to the homebrew channel (vWii) i would need the source code and some linux knowledge right?

Hey!
So I finally made a small library which you can implement into your wii homebrew application in order to use the WiiU Pro Controller, I've added a usage.txt file to it.
http://code.google.com/p/libwupc
Just check out the source to get all the data you need.
Let me know if you find any issues with it, so far I only tested it with one controller so I have no idea if it can even handle multiple controllers properly.
This library is implemented for example into wiiflow, nintendont, postloader, fceugx, snes9xgx and vbagx (get those 3 from my signature).
Have Fun!

Breathless!!!!

If you add it to anything, keep in mind that the instructions provided are wrong. You need to place -lwupc AFTER -lwiiuse. I actually mentioned that to FIX94 like 2 months ago.

Curious... is it possible to insert libwupc into fan-made projects like Newer Super Mario Bros. Wii or Project M (through something like Riivolution)?

Not sure where Linux comes into this, but no, it's not possible to add it to the Homebrew Channel unless Marcan/Bushing/TT release its source code.

No, to put it simply, this library can't be used with retail/commercial games.

I had a feeling that'd be the case, but I just thought I'd ask anyway. Thanks for the reply~

 

[xdarkmario]

also i have a feeling you may not need to inject the libraries to a commercial game to use the pro controller, maybe just its launcher. if the native wii menu maybe inject to wii IOS or if your using a backup launcher patch the launcher...

my theory is based off of nintendont. you dont need to patch each gamecube game for the for the pro controller to work on it, just nintendont was patched and that handles the gamecube games

Any n64 emulators that support this yet?

 

[hbrickface]

FYI I tried the Snes9x GX with Wii U Pro Controller support here: http://www.mediafire.com/fix94#cnwd2mo2ovbpi
Final Fantasy III US hangs/crashes at the first battle.

I can't get the modified versions of Snes9xgx and vbagx working. I downloaded the files at http://www.mediafire.com/fix94 and changed the names from vbagx_wii.dol and snes9xgx-wii.dol to boot.dol and replaced them with the existing boot.dol files. I tried syncing the wii U pro controller in the system menu, pressed the wii U pro button on the back, then the sync button on the Wii and the leds blinked and then went out so I believe it synced. When I start either vbagx or snes9xgx and try to press a button on the wii u pro, the leds just keep blinking for a while and don't do anything.

The controller is fine and I think it is synced because I tried the new version of Nintendont and it works flawlessly. Am I doing anything wrong? It would be nice to finally use the Wii U Pro for something.

Edit: I was using the non-modified versions. If anyone else is wondering, the files are in the wiiuprocontroller folder and end in libwupc.7z.

Great work FIX94, thanks for this.

I'm wanted to use L3+R3 to shutdown the controller, but these extra buttons didn't registered.
Daxtsu, your WiiSX mod doesn't have these buttons either. you will have to recompile libwupc to allow L3/R3.


To add them, you need to add this to wupc.c, line233:

		newstate = __WUPC_PadData[i].button | (__WUPC_PadData[i].extra & WUPC_EXTRA_BUTTON_RSTICK) | (__WUPC_PadData[i].extra & WUPC_EXTRA_BUTTON_LSTICK);

it now registers correctly but as I'm applying the wupc buttons to wpad (to affect the Classic controller, and read only one controller afterward), it affects wpad Wiimote button1 and 2 at the same time.
excluding the least significant bits is enough to fix the issue, and check wupc directly for extra buttons.

	Input[chan].wpad.btns_d = WUPC_ButtonsDown(chan) & ~3;

	// Read L3 and R3
	if(Input[chan].wupcdata.btns_d & WUPC_EXTRA_BUTTON_RSTICK 
	&& Input[chan].wupcdata.btns_d & WUPC_EXTRA_BUTTON_LSTICK)
		WUPC_Disconnect(chan);

It's not the best way but as long as you read WUPC directly, you have all buttons back.
Another solution would be to add a new function to read the L/R down/up/help, but that's maybe too much for only two bits.

I also added a function to read the full extra which contains values for : USB connected, USB charging,L3,R3.

u8 WUPC_extra(u8 chan)
{
	if(chan >= CHAN_MAX || __WUPC_Connected[chan] == NULL) return 0;
	return __WUPC_PadData[chan].extra;
}

r3_Mod2


Edit:
I think the library has an issue with disconnect and held.
when you use WUPC_Disconnect(chan), it still keep the held value for the current channel.
when you reconnect it, the held value is sent again. It's an issue if you check held value to shutdown the controller as it shutdown right away again.

If you use the disconnect function with button combo, don't check your buttons using Held or use combination of Held+pressed to prevent auto-disconnect.


You can verify with code like that

Spoiler

while(1)
{
	WUPC_UpdateButtonStats();
	if(WUPC_ButtonsHeld(0) & WPAD_CLASSIC_BUTTON_HOME)
		WUPC_Disconnect(0);
	gprintf("Data = %x\n", WUPC_ButtonsHeld(0));
}

Adding
__WUPC_PadButtons[chan].state = 0;
on disconnect is not enough to fix the issue.
