It's a shame all game Wii games didn't have this option from default, as time has gone on I think it's the worst control scheme ever created. To be fair a few games implemented it well like Metroid Prime 3 and Skyward Sword but overall still awful.

I looked into this and have now updated the Metroid: Other M post with a new code adding Nunchuk support.
Really odd that you're both having problems with Super Paper Mario. I re-tested it on my end on both Dolphin (Windows) and real (OG Wii) hardware and it works without any issues. I'm really not sure what could be causing this. Tough to guess without it ever breaking for me. Definitely weird that it crashes when creating a save specifically. These controller hacks run on every single frame, so I'd generally expect them to either crash immediately or never. Confusing.
I generally don't mention if I've started on a game because I don't want to get hopes up that it will get finished, but I did actually look at Need for Speed: ProStreet after a previous request. I got it partially working, but it needs more work to actually be playable. I got a bit stuck and put it aside and moved on to other games, but I do want to come back to it and see if I can figure it out. Need for Speed: Carbon I'm probably less likely to do since you can already play the GameCube version via Nintendont with whatever controller you want. Is there anything the Wii version adds that you don't get from playing the GameCube one?
Thanks! Fellow Wii U owner here, opening up more Wii games to be playable on GamePad is definitely a nice bonus to this project. I'm not sure if GBATemp can display the same thread across multiple boards, but perhaps some sort of tutorial thread on the Wii U side about how to add Classic Controller hacks to games, with a link back to this thread and any other Classic Controller hacks (crediar's Kirby's Return to Dream Land and Thomas83Lin's Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny; others?), would be a solid idea.
Arika's Endless Ocean is perhaps the most "blue ocean" game ever released on the Wii, both figuratively and literally. Nintendo courted casual gamers heavily in the Wii/DS generation and this game is just an extremely chilled out, relaxing time. With fantastic graphics and no real way to lose, this game becomes far more about the fun of exploring the depths of the ocean, discovering lost treasures and polishing marine life until it sparkles. It's also one of the few Wii games to support playing custom MP3 music from the SD card, so you can listen to whatever you want (Sigur Rós) while you dive. While the sequel added Classic Controller support, the original game is an extremely Wiimote-focussed affair, with basically all interactions revolving around the IR pointer, with some occasional shaking. This game's heavy focus on the Wiimote led me to implement a Nunchuk mode in addition to Classic Controller, retaining the original spirit while adding a little bit of flexibility. Highlight for @SPAC3W4IFU, who asked about this game.

Button Mapping
This one adds support for both the Classic Controller and Nunchuk, so we'll need a table for each. That said, the Nunchuk mode is basically just the normal Wiimote mode plus a stick and two buttons, so we'll get that one out of the way first.| Wii Remote | Nunchuk | Game Function |

General Notes
- Again, basically everything you do in this game revolves around the IR pointer, from player movement to aiming and fish interactions. Adapting this to a twin-stick (Classic)/one-stick-one-pointer (Nunchuk) setup does require a bit of compromise. Essentially, the different inputs have to fight over who's in charge of the IR pointer at the moment. I decided that the left stick gets higher priority: if you try to use both simultaneously, the left stick wins and right stick movement is ignored.
- The way this all works is that the left stick represents absolute movement and the right stick/IR pointer represents cursor movement. This allows you to swim around with entirely traditional controls (stick and buttons) then when you want to use the cursor, you let go of the left stick and move it around with the right stick/IR pointer. When you want to stop using the pointer, you go back to the left stick again.
- In the brief walking segments, you will need to use the right stick/IR cursor to move around and interact with people, objects and animals. The traditional, left-stick movement only works underwater.
- Remember that A is double-mapped to Classic A and R. When your thumb is busy manipulating the cursor with the right stick, you can use the R button to focus on a fish or whatever else you're interacting with without having to move off the right stick.
- The way this all works is that the left stick represents absolute movement and the right stick/IR pointer represents cursor movement. This allows you to swim around with entirely traditional controls (stick and buttons) then when you want to use the cursor, you let go of the left stick and move it around with the right stick/IR pointer. When you want to stop using the pointer, you go back to the left stick again.
- Is this the first Nunchuk hack? Having to add Nunchuk support from scratch forced me to rethink how button injection should work, so with this hack I'm finally retiring crediar's original button injector, which also proved useful when updating the previous Metroid: Other M hack with Nunchuk support, since a method of remapping the Wiimote itself was also necessary in that case. But I'm getting side-tracked. A nice bonus here is that if you're just diving (not interacting with anything), you can do all of that entirely on the solo Nunchuk.
- Japan received two revisions of this game; the first was recalled after the discovery of a game-breaking bug in the aquarium feature. Owners were able to request a replacement copy with the bug fixed. By the time the game came to the US and Europe, this bug fix was already included. I didn't bother hacking the Japan Rev 0 release because I doubt there's enough people playing that rare, recalled Japanese version anyway.
Technical Notes
This hack is made up of three codes, all within KPAD.
The first one applies to
The second hack, which makes up the bulk of the total lines, applies to
As mentioned, this hack marks the debut of a new button injector, which is the third hack. It's still inside
The first one applies to
read_kpad_acc(). It's slightly different to previous accelerometer hacks in that instead of completely replacing the "real" accelerometer, here we only replace the function while the user is holding the shake button (Classic L/Nunchuk C). Otherwise, the accelerometer function runs normally. This is important for Nunchuk mode. The accelerometer data is used to determine the relative angle at which the sensor bar should be found, so to correctly find the sensor bar we need the real accelerometer data, not our faked version.The second hack, which makes up the bulk of the total lines, applies to
calc_dpd_variable(), a child of read_kpad_dpd(), the pointer function. Previous hacks applied directly to the parent function, but in this case where we still want the pointer to function normally sometimes, it was easier to apply it here, since this is after KPAD has determined whether or not the (real) IR pointer is currently in-use. This way, if KPAD says a real Wiimote is currently really pointed at the sensor bar, we can use that pointer data, but if not we can stick with our fake pointer instead. This hack is also responsible for managing which stick is currently "in charge" of the IR pointer and disabling the cursor visibility when in absolute mode. A lot going on in here.As mentioned, this hack marks the debut of a new button injector, which is the third hack. It's still inside
KPADRead and It still does all the same stuff, but it's also able to remap the Wiimote itself and it still manages to be slightly shorter than the original method. We're jumping in earlier here (before the button states have been processed into pressed/held/released), so we no longer have to manage all of that manually: injecting the values before they get to that code means the game handles processing the buttons for us, as if they were real Wiimote buttons.
Did you test it with a pal version as well? I just have a pal rev 1 and a ntsc rev 0 version of this game. Unfortunately the pal rev 1 is not working. I asked some friends about a ntsc rev 2 version. Maybe this will do the trick. I let you know. In the meantime: how about the game rhythm heaven fever and cc support? Should be relatively easy, it just have two buttons a and b to be pressed. It would be better to transfer them to ZR and ZL, because you have to press them simultaneously sometimes. Would be really great. It is one of those games: easy to understand, but so hard to perfect itI looked into this and have now updated the Metroid: Other M post with a new code adding Nunchuk support.
Really odd that you're both having problems with Super Paper Mario. I re-tested it on my end on both Dolphin (Windows) and real (OG Wii) hardware and it works without any issues. I'm really not sure what could be causing this. Tough to guess without it ever breaking for me. Definitely weird that it crashes when creating a save specifically. These controller hacks run on every single frame, so I'd generally expect them to either crash immediately or never. Confusing.
I generally don't mention if I've started on a game because I don't want to get hopes up that it will get finished, but I did actually look at Need for Speed: ProStreet after a previous request. I got it partially working, but it needs more work to actually be playable. I got a bit stuck and put it aside and moved on to other games, but I do want to come back to it and see if I can figure it out. Need for Speed: Carbon I'm probably less likely to do since you can already play the GameCube version via Nintendont with whatever controller you want. Is there anything the Wii version adds that you don't get from playing the GameCube one?
Thanks! Fellow Wii U owner here, opening up more Wii games to be playable on GamePad is definitely a nice bonus to this project. I'm not sure if GBATemp can display the same thread across multiple boards, but perhaps some sort of tutorial thread on the Wii U side about how to add Classic Controller hacks to games, with a link back to this thread and any other Classic Controller hacks (crediar's Kirby's Return to Dream Land and Thomas83Lin's Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny; others?), would be a solid idea.

Arika's Endless Ocean is perhaps the most "blue ocean" game ever released on the Wii, both figuratively and literally.

With fantastic graphics and no real way to lose, this game becomes far more about the fun of exploring the depths of the ocean, discovering lost treasures and polishing marine life until it sparkles. It's also one of the few Wii games to support playing custom MP3 music from the SD card, so you can listen to whatever you want (Sigur Rós) while you dive. While the sequel added Classic Controller support, the original game is an extremely Wiimote-focussed affair, with basically all interactions revolving around the IR pointer, with some occasional shaking. This game's heavy focus on the Wiimote led me to implement a Nunchuk mode in addition to Classic Controller, retaining the original spirit while adding a little bit of flexibility. Highlight for @SPAC3W4IFU, who asked about this game.

This one adds support for both the Classic Controller and Nunchuk, so we'll need a table for each. That said, the Nunchuk mode is basically just the normal Wiimote mode plus a stick and two buttons, so we'll get that one out of the way first.

General Notes
- Again, basically everything you do in this game revolves around the IR pointer, from player movement to aiming and fish interactions. Adapting this to a twin-stick (Classic)/one-stick-one-pointer (Nunchuk) setup does require a bit of compromise. Essentially, the different inputs have to fight over who's in charge of the IR pointer at the moment. I decided that the left stick gets higher priority: if you try to use both simultaneously, the left stick wins and right stick movement is ignored.
- The way this all works is that the left stick represents absolute movement and the right stick/IR pointer represents cursor movement. This allows you to swim around with entirely traditional controls (stick and buttons) then when you want to use the cursor, you let go of the left stick and move it around with the right stick/IR pointer. When you want to stop using the pointer, you go back to the left stick again.
- In the brief walking segments, you will need to use the right stick/IR cursor to move around and interact with people, objects and animals. The traditional, left-stick movement only works underwater.
- Remember that A is double-mapped to Classic A and R. When your thumb is busy manipulating the cursor with the right stick, you can use the R button to focus on a fish or whatever else you're interacting with without having to move off the right stick.
- Is this the first Nunchuk hack? Having to add Nunchuk support from scratch forced me to rethink how button injection should work, so with this hack I'm finally retiring crediar's original button injector, which also proved useful when updating the previous Metroid: Other M hack with Nunchuk support, since a method of remapping the Wiimote itself was also necessary in that case. But I'm getting side-tracked. A nice bonus here is that if you're just diving (not interacting with anything), you can do all of that entirely on the solo Nunchuk.
- Japan received two revisions of this game; the first was recalled after the discovery of a game-breaking bug in the aquarium feature. Owners were able to request a replacement copy with the bug fixed. By the time the game came to the US and Europe, this bug fix was already included. I didn't bother hacking the Japan Rev 0 release because I doubt there's enough people playing that rare, recalled Japanese version anyway.
Technical Notes
This hack is made up of three codes, all within KPAD.
The first one applies toread_kpad_acc(). It's slightly different to previous accelerometer hacks in that instead of completely replacing the "real" accelerometer, here we only replace the function while the user is holding the shake button (Classic L/Nunchuk C). Otherwise, the accelerometer function runs normally. This is important for Nunchuk mode. The accelerometer data is used to determine the relative angle at which the sensor bar should be found, so to correctly find the sensor bar we need the real accelerometer data, not our faked version.
The second hack, which makes up the bulk of the total lines, applies tocalc_dpd_variable(), a child ofread_kpad_dpd(), the pointer function. Previous hacks applied directly to the parent function, but in this case where we still want the pointer to function normally sometimes, it was easier to apply it here, since this is after KPAD has determined whether or not the (real) IR pointer is currently in-use. This way, if KPAD says a real Wiimote is currently really pointed at the sensor bar, we can use that pointer data, but if not we can stick with our fake pointer instead. This hack is also responsible for managing which stick is currently "in charge" of the IR pointer and disabling the cursor visibility when in absolute mode. A lot going on in here.
As mentioned, this hack marks the debut of a new button injector, which is the third hack. It's still insideKPADReadand It still does all the same stuff, but it's also able to remap the Wiimote itself and it still manages to be slightly shorter than the original method. We're jumping in earlier here (before the button states have been processed into pressed/held/released), so we no longer have to manage all of that manually: injecting the values before they get to that code means the game handles processing the buttons for us, as if they were real Wiimote buttons.
