Magic NS 2 with HID to VPAD

Quake 3 is being ported to Wii U

I spent my last few months porting Quake 3 Arena to most consoles that didn't have a port yet (Wii, PS3, PS4, Xbox One), but my main roadblock was always the Wii U. Thanks to all the experience I gained from my previous ports as well as a new toy I'll release later I decided to give it another shot and I got much farther this time. The port is far from playable at the moment, but I lifted most of the roadblocks I ran into last time, which made all this very promising. Since this is my most important project so far, I'd like the first release to be very, very polished. However, I'm still unsure about which name I should pick this time around, so I'll pick the one with most votes the moment I have to do the release. Main features Crossplay with other Quake 3 clients, either via LAN or online Gamepad + Pro Controller support as well as other controllers through Bloopair Mod support Open Arena, Team Arena and CLASSIC (specific build to crossplay with Dreamcast clients) support. Installation This homebrew can only run under Aroma. Place ioquake3_wiiu.wuhb for Quake III Arena, ioquake3_ta_wiiu.wuhb for Team Arena, ioquake3_oa_wiiu.wuhb for Open Arena and ioquake3_classic_wiiu.wuhb for Classic inside wiiu/apps/, then follow the instructions below where to place the required files. Quake III Arena Place pak0-8 in /quake3/baseq3/ from your own Quake III Arena copy. Open Arena Place all the pak files in /quake3/baseoa/ from your own Open Arena copy. Team Arena Place pak0-3 in /quake3/missionpack/ from your own Team Arena copy. Quake 3 Classic Place pak0-8 in /quake3/baseq3/ from your own Quake III Arena copy, as well as dc-mappack.pk3 inside quake3/baseq3/ Latest release Pro and Cons compared with each of my ports: Wii + More stable framerate + Mods can load more reliably + Higher resolution, higher quality models and textures + Team Arena support + Automatically sets Player name based off User's Mii (with limits, due to characters limitations) + XInput support thanks to Bloopair - No mouse and keyboard support - No additional video modes PS3 + More stable framerate + higher quality models and textures, but not as noticeable as Wii's + XInput support thanks to Bloopair - No native OSK (for now) for text inputs - No mouse and keyboard support PS4 + Faster boot times + XInput support thanks to Bloopair - No native OSK (for now) for text inputs

Hi, I found this INI file for the magic NS adapter on HID to VPAD and was wondering if it would work with the magic NS 2 adapter.

Code:

[vid=0x0079,pid=0x18d2]
VPAD_BUTTON_A = 0x0c,0xff
VPAD_BUTTON_B = 0x0d,0xff
VPAD_BUTTON_X = 0x0b,0xff
VPAD_BUTTON_Y = 0x0e,0xff
VPAD_BUTTON_PLUS = 0x01,0x02
VPAD_BUTTON_MINUS = 0x01,0x01
VPAD_BUTTON_LEFT = 0x08,0xff
VPAD_BUTTON_RIGHT = 0x07,0xff
VPAD_BUTTON_UP = 0x09,0xff
VPAD_BUTTON_DOWN = 0x0A,0xff
VPAD_BUTTON_ZR = 0x00,0x80
VPAD_BUTTON_ZL = 0x00,0x40
VPAD_BUTTON_L = 0x00,0x10
VPAD_BUTTON_R = 0x00,0x20
VPAD_BUTTON_STICK_L = 0x01,0x04
VPAD_BUTTON_STICK_R = 0x01,0x08
VPad_L_Stick_X = 0x03,0x80
VPad_L_Stick_X_MinMax = 0x00,0xFF
VPad_L_Stick_Y = 0x04,0x80
VPad_L_Stick_Y_Invert = true
VPad_L_Stick_Y_MinMax = 0x00,0xFF
VPad_R_Stick_X = 0x05,0x80
VPad_R_Stick_X_MinMax = 0x00,0xFF
VPad_R_Stick_Y = 0x06,0x80
VPad_R_Stick_Y_Invert = true
VPad_R_Stick_Y_MinMax = 0x00,0xFF
