@Vague Rant I played a little bit with Excite Trucks CC Hack, because I wanted to remap some buttons, but now I have two actions on one button and I don't know how to fix it. Here is my idea: Accelerate with Y, Turbo stays at ZR and Brake on ZL. It would make the air tricks easier. So I changed the code of the europe version to this:

809D0004 7CA52378
90BD0004 80BD0068
4800001D 809D0008
7CA52378 90BD0008
7C0803A6 4E800020
60000000 38C00000
70A40800 41820008
60C68000 70A40001
41820008 60C60002
70A44000 41820008
60C60001 70A42082
41820008 60C60008
70A48204 41820008
60C60004 70A40020
41820008 60C60100
70A40080 41820008
60C60200 70A40008
41820008 60C60800
70A40020 41820008
60C60400 70A40400
41820008 60C60010
70A41000 41820008
60C61000 7CC53378
4E800020 00000000

Now I have Brake and Turbo on ZL at the same time. I can't find the solution in the code. Is there another trick to this or should I create a new line for that? Thanks a lot

No updates on Fluidity yet, I haven't looked at that game at all.

I have some good and bad news about Fluidity.
The good news: It seems more then possible to be done, the ice form and water work great! (Emulated on dolphin)

The bad news: The cloud seems the hardest one to do. I tried it but it just seems confusing, and i forgot the controls it uses, but i know one included shaking to drain the cloud.

It might use that low level motion data you were talking about (possibly) Although its not from next level games, i have a small feeling it does, I dont think it does though since the motion is used a lot, so it wouldnt be low level.

@Vague Rant Kirby Return To Dreamland already have a cc hack but needs a gameconfig.txt file stored on sd card to work. So it can't be played as inject with wii u gamepad. Do you think it's possible to make a new cc hack without the needing of this gameconfig.txt file ? Thanks.

Ive been wondering about that too - If vague makes an IPS patch it might be possible. Maybe

An IPS patch might be able to work, since it might not trigger metafortress protection, but im not sure

Nice, I'm glad you eventually got DK Returns running on the GamePad, super awesome to hear that it works. Thanks for letting me know about Wario as well. The broken controls like that are usually a symptom of the Wii game not correctly detecting the Classic Controller; the same thing happens with injections of Excite Truck unless you enable the "Force Classic Controller connected" checkbox in the injector tool. I wonder if Wario could be fixed with that? If not, it's out of my hands, it's an issue with the Classic Controller emulation in Wii VC injection where it's just not compatible with some games. Unfortunately, that's the case for New Super Mario Bros. Wii, injected versions don't recognize the Classic Controller. Silent Hill definitely sounds like it's on the more complicated end of the spectrum, since it has multiple different hand motions that have to be recognized, so that's probably on the less-likely end, sorry.


That sounds like a great idea. It seems relatively feasible. I think the major complication would be remapping the inputs on the Wii Remote itself, since you'd need a different layout (A to jump, B to shoot, etc.). To date, I haven't done any remapping of original game inputs, only adding additional mappings on the Classic Controller, so I would need to figure out how to do that, but it does sound cool. I assume you mean retaining the original IR pointer for aiming, right? So you'd move on the Nunchuk, shoot/jump on B/A, maybe Morph Ball on Nunchuk C like in Prime, lock on camera on Nunchuk Z ... Concentration could either use the original motion controls or be mapped on Wiimote Minus or something, since the game doesn't use Minus anyway as far as I can tell. This is definitely an interesting one. As always, no promises, but my curiosity is piqued.

Animal Crossing: City Folk aka Let's Go to the City is the third game in Nintendo's Animal Crossing life sim series. The main addition to this entry was Wii Speak support the titular city, expanding on the small town areas of previous entries. This perhaps falls into the "controversial Wii sequel" series, with many complaints about the lack of improvements over the earlier games and the loss of NES games, since Nintendo were now selling those on the Wii Shop Channel instead of giving them away for free. Still, though not revolutionary, City Folk has the same charming atmosphere as the rest of the franchise. And at least it's a real Animal Crossing game. Cough, Amiibo Festival.

General Notes​

  • Two code varieties for this one, choose whichever feels more natural to you. IR aiming is pretty important to City Folk, with all inventory manipulation being IR-based. If you choose the Left Stick code, the Left Stick toggles between movement and IR input, i.e. you can't move and point at the same time. However, there's rarely any advantage to this, as there's no real multitasking possible. If you choose the Right Stick code, all you can really do is move the stupid cursor around while you run. Whee. If you want my opinion, use the Left Stick code.

  • Where possible, I try to "intelligently" enable/disable the pointer mode. The player can always toggle it on/off with the L button, but some other actions (opening the Inventory, Map or Photos menus) will automatically enable pointer mode for you. Try to remember to exit these menus using the same button you used to open them: e.g. you can press X to open the inventory (pointer turns on automatically) then X again to close it (pointer turns off automatically). If you instead open the menu with X then close it with B, you'll still be in pointer mode, because you didn't close with X. In this case, you should press L to disable the pointer manually. I'm trying here.

  • If the IR pointer movement is too fast/slow for you, you can adjust it by editing the float 0.015 (3C75C28F) about halfway through the code. You could adjust it down to 0.01 (3C23D70A) for a slower cursor, or bump it up to 0.02 (3CA3D70A) for a faster cursor, or whatever other number feels appropriate. There's plenty of hex float converters online, I linked one in a previous post somewhere.

  • It's worth knowing that this game supports USB keyboards. Using an on-screen keyboard with an IR pointer is sort of acceptable, but using an on-screen keyboard with a pointer you control using an analog stick is a bad time. If you have a USB keyboard handy it will hugely improve the experience if you're looking to do any typing (e.g. writing letters or chatting with other players over network play). It doesn't have to be a special Wii keyboard or anything; I use a standard PC Logitech Unifying USB dongle in my Wii. Failing that, if you use the phone in your house you can change the keyboard settings to use an old-school mobile keyboard which you might find easier to use with an analog stick.

  • I got a specific request (elsewhere, not in this thread) for an option where the Right Stick pointer is always enabled, but personally I think it's kind of bad. The game changes a lot of things about how it works when you're pointing at the screen, which don't make sense when playing on a traditional controller. For example, pressing A now makes you walk toward the cursor instead of interacting with whatever is in front of you. Pointing at the screen also causes the HUD to display at all times, which means the screen is cluttered with on-screen buttons the whole time you're playing. If anybody here wants this version, I guess ask for it but I find it offers an inferior experience to either of the codes above and shouldn't really be considered an equal option against those.

Changelog​

  • v1.1 corrects the cursor speed; thanks to @RiceKryzpi for noticing this!

Technical Notes​

This game has that same Super Paper Mario issue where the Home Button Menu causes a Classic Controller re-init every 64 frames. I solved it the same way, disabling getInfoAsync() from running. Thinking about it more since last time, I suspect this probably has something to do with checking things like the battery level that displays in the HBM. I do still allow getInfoAsync() to run when you first enter the HBM in both this and Paper Mario, so it's not like the HBM is running blind but if you just leave it open it might not correctly track the battery level or something pointless like that, I don't care.

Briefly, the code is: C2 to allow Classic Controller's left stick to be read for movement, C2 to disable the bad EXT error, 04 disable getInfoAsync(), C2 and C2 actually redirect analog reads to the Classic when needed, C2 custom read_kpad_dpd() (Left Stick code has an additional feature to prevent character movement while in pointer mode) and then the button injector gets inserted into KPADRead() in the last C2.

  • mogchamp from the AC: Wiimmfi Folk Discord for advising on the button layout
Hi! Is there any chance you could release a variation of this to better fit Wild World's controls?

This would be the layout:
Wiimote -> Classic Controller
A -> A, R
B -> B
- -> Y
+ -> X
1 -> -
2 -> +
Z -> ZL, ZR

Having "R" act as the select button makes menu navigation with the right stick very seamless!

Thanks so much!!

@Vague Rant Lmao remember how you could freeze fish in the ice form? That was funny to do! (In fluidity)
(There hasnt been much jokes here, and i know these hacks can be tiring, so i want to start showing funny things to cheer you up!)

Update: Cloud form seems to use forward and backward motion controls to move up and down. That will be pretty tricky to emulate 😬

This is especially superior in the case of racing sims, where the accelerator pedal is begging for an smooth change. It would be great if you could pull the code from one of the games listed in that post and apply it to your mods.

Seeing your codes above, I always wanted to try to play Mario Kart like many other racing games, with R/L as Accelerate/Brake, I should try toying with it on Dolphin.
I've just edited the Mario Kart Wii post to add a full remapping assembly hack as I mentioned in a previous post. This hack remaps every button to the button that it already is, i.e. it does absolutely nothing by default. You can edit this any way you like and plug it into CodeWrite to get a custom button mapping.

@Vague Rant I followed your tutorial and I was able to (partially) make a CC hack for Mario Super Sluggers. I picked that game to practice because it doesn't have a "Connect the nunchuk" message, and I don't have any experience with making gecko codes or working with ASM so I don't know how to make a code to skip that. I was able to make the game recognize the Classic Controller thanks to your guide, though I still haven't managed to emulate the motion controls (shake wiimote, tilt, etc). Thank you soo much! I'm still happy with what I managed to do. I will keep practicing!

I was gonna ask, could you explain how to remove or skip the "nunchuk" error message? Because I wanna try that with Project Zero 2: Wii Edition (PAL). I know that the method might vary depending on what game it is, but any explanation will be useful!
We need like a tutorial on how to make the motion parts of wiimote be emulated on a classic controller is the issue for now.
That's awesome, congrats on the progress! Especially impressive without having any prior experience, great work. I don't really have a "generic" way to trigger motion controls across different games since they all tend to have different setups for their motion controls, so I generally have to write a different hack for each game that needs accelerometer stuff. It would be hard to really write up a tutorial on that because it's different for each game. The general idea is that inside read_kpad_acc() you need to force the game to load some specific accelerometer data instead of the real data whenever a certain button is pressed.

My usual trick for doing this is to map various accelerometer functions as buttons 0x80, 0x40 and 0x20 on the Wii Remote in the button injector. These are all unused bits on the Wiimote, i.e. technically possible button values which simply don't exist on the Wiimote. Then inside read_kpad_acc(), I'll write a routine which checks if the user pressed one of those fake buttons and load fake data in before calc_acc() (the function which processes that data) can run. calc_acc() is pretty easy to find because it always runs three times in a row, once for each axis. Before each function call will be an lfs f1, 0xXXX(r30) which is reading in the real accelerometer data, so that's the ideal place to insert some code to replace the real data.

For fixing Nunchuk errors, usually I will load the game up in Dolphin and let it run until it reaches some kind of Nunchuk error screen. Then in the Memory tab I will switch the search type to ASCII and search for the text that shows up in the Nunchuk error (e.g. "Please connect the Nunchuk to the Wii Remote" type of thing). If it is able to locate the error text, I can then set a read breakpoint (check the Read only button, then right click where the error text is located in memory and Toggle Breakpoint) on that text and find the code where the text is loaded.

From there, you want to use the Callstack in the Code tab to trace your way backward through the code trying to find where the actual Nunchuk check occurred which caused the game to display the error. I mostly do this part via trial and error, I'll go back one or two calls and set an execute breakpoint there (click in the left column of the disassembler in the Code tab) then switch to the Nunchuk in Dolphin settings and see whether that code is still running.

What you want to find is the point where different code paths are taken depending on which controller is connected. The extension types important to us are 0 (none), 1 (Nunchuk) and 2 (Classic Controller). So eventually you should reach a point where there's code which only runs if a specific value is not equal to 1. The extension check will generally look something like cmpwi rX, 0x1, but it's important to note that checking if something equals 1 is very generic code that's used all over the place, so finding a cmpwi rX, 0x1 doesn't mean you've found the Nunchuk check.

If you suspect you have found the Nunchuk check, set a breakpoint on that instruction and try letting the game run with no extension, Nunchuk and Classic Controller. If the register that gets checked matches the values I mentioned above based on which controller you have connected, you can be reasonably sure that it is checking the extension type. If that check fails (is not equal to 1), it means the current connected controller is not a Nunchuk. At that point, you can change this check to also accept Classic Controller, usually looking something like this in assembly which you can paste into CodeWrite:
Code:
  cmpwi r0, 0x1
  beq- RETURN
  cmpwi r0, 0x2

RETURN:
This isn't doing anything too complex: instead of just checking if the value is 1, this checks if it's 1, then checks if it's 2. That way, whatever behavior the game was going to run if the extension type was 1 (like skipping over running the Nunchuk error) will also run if the extension type is 2. A lot of the exact process for how the Nunchuk is checked for varies wildly from game to game, but the extension type values are part of the SDK, so they're something reliable to look for.

@Vague Rant I played a little bit with Excite Trucks CC Hack, because I wanted to remap some buttons, but now I have two actions on one button and I don't know how to fix it. Here is my idea: Accelerate with Y, Turbo stays at ZR and Brake on ZL. It would make the air tricks easier.

Now I have Brake and Turbo on ZL at the same time. I can't find the solution in the code. Is there another trick to this or should I create a new line for that? Thanks a lot
Ah, yeah, that one is a bit more difficult to edit. In a couple of my early hacks I was trying to optimize the button injector down to be as small as possible by checking multiple buttons at the same time. You can see me doing that in instructions like 70A42082. This is checking buttons 0x2000, 0x80 and 0x2 (2082) all at once, so the lines like that are where your problem is occurring, since the buttons are already mapped there. In later hacks I decided to stop optimizing the button checks just so they'd be easier to edit exactly for this reason. I should come back to Excite Truck to add IR pointer support anyway, since I made that one before I knew how to do that, so if you don't mind the wait I'll "modernize" the button injector when I do that, otherwise yeah, it will be a bit tougher to change the button values.

@Vague Rant Kirby Return To Dreamland already have a cc hack but needs a gameconfig.txt file stored on sd card to work. So it can't be played as inject with wii u gamepad. Do you think it's possible to make a new cc hack without the needing of this gameconfig.txt file ? Thanks.
Ive been wondering about that too - If vague makes an IPS patch it might be possible. Maybe
Post automatically merged:

An IPS patch might be able to work, since it might not trigger metafortress protection, but im not sure
Yeah, I think it should be possible to convert crediar's existing Metafortress fixes into IPS patches which can apply to the main.dol. I don't know what the format of gameconfig.txt files is like but I think it's just a list of patches to the binary, which is essentially what an IPS is as well. I'm definitely not sure of this though, that's just roughly how I think it works.

I think the easiest way to do this would be to edit the code yourself. It's somewhat complex for this game due to the different pointer modes, so I'll put my (and crediar's, this button injector is based on crediar's work) original assembly in a spoiler below:

The ; comments at the start are the addresses to insert the code which you can paste into CodeWrite along with the assembly to get a Gecko code of the same, and from there you can adjust it however you see fit. I know it's pretty daunting to look at, but the parts you want to change are the lines that go ori r7, r7, 0xXXXX. They have comments after them like ; 1 to indicate what button that number means. Some of them are pressing multiple buttons simultaneously, like 0x90 means 0x80 (toggle pointer) plus 0x10 (the Wiimote Plus button).

Update: Cloud form seems to use forward and backward motion controls to move up and down. That will be pretty tricky to emulate 😬
Yeah, Fluidity does seem like a bit of a complicated one overall. I still haven't looked into it yet, but it's a game I really like, so definitely one I'll make an attempt at. Whether that will be fruitful, who knows; there's plenty of games I've looked into but haven't been successful in hacking, with those games falling onto kind of a spectrum from "I want to keep trying on that one" to "I'll die if I look at that game for one more second." :D

@Vague Rant
for reference, several games support the analog triggers of the original (non-pro) classic controller. This is especially superior in the case of racing sims, where the accelerator pedal is begging for an smooth change. It would be great if you could pull the code from one of the games listed in that post and apply it to your mods.
That is definitely a cool feature, but sorry, not likely to be something I can do. That would require an understanding of how each individual game handles acceleration and braking, since that's all game-specific code. Finding how it works in a one game wouldn't really help me to understand how/where vehicle movement is handled in a different game entirely. I think the case where it would be most likely to be achievable by me would be if there's games that support using the right analog stick to accelerate/brake. It would probably be possible to reconfigure the analog shoulder input to handle existing right stick accelerating/braking, and it would have to be truly analog already--unlike Mario Kart Wii where the right stick behaves like two buttons rather than the analog values being meaningful.



I'll die if I look at this game for one more second.

SI_Wii_EpicMickey_enGB_image1600w.jpg


Epic Mickey is somehow another paint-based 3D platformer developed by a third-party which broke through Nintendo's stranglehold on the Wii. Developed exclusively for the console by Warren Spector's Junction Point Studios, Epic Mickey features the gameplay hook of an interactive world that Mickey can change at will using paint or thinner. With an RPG-influenced quest system, the player's choices also affect Mickey's appearance and skill growth. Lauded for its creative design and reimagining of Disney history, the game was also derided for its poor camera and complex controls. A recent HD remake saw much improved review scores, but ... here's this one!

Highlights for @NestorM and @blue-spirit who were both interested in this game.

General Notes​

  • There is one motion input which I did not solve here: when you simultaneously shake both the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, Mickey fires off all three Guardians (Tint/Turp spirits) at once. You won't be able to do that move with this hack; instead, you'll have to fire off all three individually using separate Nunchuk shakes (R button). It would be nice, but it's entirely playable without it.

    • The accelerometer in the Nunchuk is probably the single part of KPAD that I understand the least. I started looking at this game about seven weeks ago. This is the closest I've gotten to understanding how the Nunchuk works, which was just barely enough to get a generic Nunchuk waggle working.

  • The total number of different inputs in this game is more than the number of buttons on a Classic Controller. Epic Mickey uses 8 buttons and four motion inputs, plus the infra-red pointer. The Classic Controller has 10 buttons and a Right Stick to cover all of that. I had to sacrifice the D-Pad to get some extra inputs, hence having L+Right Stick emulate the D-Pad.

    • Epic Mickey already has an infamously difficult camera; losing direct camera control here would not be great, so D-Pad Left/Right are intact for lateral camera movements in addition to the L+Right Stick method. However, for looking up/down, only the L+Right Stick method is available here. This can occasionally be awkward because L is also your lock-on button when near enemies. This does mean you may have trouble moving the camera up/down when enemies are nearby, but you'll usually only need to do this during platforming segments, not combat.

  • Controls here are a mix of the remake and just mapping button-for-button. As mentioned, this game has a lot of inputs and mapping everything like the remake would make things like the menus completely incomprehensible (e.g. I can't really move the Plus and Minus buttons because when the game shows a button prompt in the menu it will be completely wrong and confusing). This is also why the A (confirm/jump) button is double-mapped on both A and B, so that menu and interaction prompts which want you to press A will work normally, but you still jump with B like a normal game. The one thing to be careful of is that when a prompt wants you to press B to cancel, that's ZR.

Technical Notes​

Codes:
  • C2: bypass Nunchuk check

  • C2, C2 and C2 in read_kpad_acc(): Wiimote shakes and tilts; forcing the Nunchuk accelerometer to be "read" even when the extension controller type is Classic Controller; injecting fake Nunchuk accelerometer data before processing

    • these changes will overwrite memory where actual Classic Controller input is normally stored, so this needs to be backed up

  • C2 in calc_dpd_variable(): infra-red pointer emulation

  • 04, 04 and C2 in read_kpad_ext(): redirect left stick into Nunchuk analog stick; redirect right stick into (hopefully) free memory so it isn't erased by accelerometer; right stick D-pad emulation

  • C2 in read_kpad_button(): inject button inputs

I've just edited the Mario Kart Wii post to add a full remapping assembly hack as I mentioned in a previous post. This hack remaps every button to the button that it already is, i.e. it does absolutely nothing by default. You can edit this any way you like and plug it into CodeWrite to get a custom button mapping.



That's awesome, congrats on the progress! Especially impressive without having any prior experience, great work. I don't really have a "generic" way to trigger motion controls across different games since they all tend to have different setups for their motion controls, so I generally have to write a different hack for each game that needs accelerometer stuff. It would be hard to really write up a tutorial on that because it's different for each game. The general idea is that inside read_kpad_acc() you need to force the game to load some specific accelerometer data instead of the real data whenever a certain button is pressed.

My usual trick for doing this is to map various accelerometer functions as buttons 0x80, 0x40 and 0x20 on the Wii Remote in the button injector. These are all unused bits on the Wiimote, i.e. technically possible button values which simply don't exist on the Wiimote. Then inside read_kpad_acc(), I'll write a routine which checks if the user pressed one of those fake buttons and load fake data in before calc_acc() (the function which processes that data) can run. calc_acc() is pretty easy to find because it always runs three times in a row, once for each axis. Before each function call will be an lfs f1, 0xXXX(r30) which is reading in the real accelerometer data, so that's the ideal place to insert some code to replace the real data.

For fixing Nunchuk errors, usually I will load the game up in Dolphin and let it run until it reaches some kind of Nunchuk error screen. Then in the Memory tab I will switch the search type to ASCII and search for the text that shows up in the Nunchuk error (e.g. "Please connect the Nunchuk to the Wii Remote" type of thing). If it is able to locate the error text, I can then set a read breakpoint (check the Read only button, then right click where the error text is located in memory and Toggle Breakpoint) on that text and find the code where the text is loaded.

From there, you want to use the Callstack in the Code tab to trace your way backward through the code trying to find where the actual Nunchuk check occurred which caused the game to display the error. I mostly do this part via trial and error, I'll go back one or two calls and set an execute breakpoint there (click in the left column of the disassembler in the Code tab) then switch to the Nunchuk in Dolphin settings and see whether that code is still running.

What you want to find is the point where different code paths are taken depending on which controller is connected. The extension types important to us are 0 (none), 1 (Nunchuk) and 2 (Classic Controller). So eventually you should reach a point where there's code which only runs if a specific value is not equal to 1. The extension check will generally look something like cmpwi rX, 0x1, but it's important to note that checking if something equals 1 is very generic code that's used all over the place, so finding a cmpwi rX, 0x1 doesn't mean you've found the Nunchuk check.

If you suspect you have found the Nunchuk check, set a breakpoint on that instruction and try letting the game run with no extension, Nunchuk and Classic Controller. If the register that gets checked matches the values I mentioned above based on which controller you have connected, you can be reasonably sure that it is checking the extension type. If that check fails (is not equal to 1), it means the current connected controller is not a Nunchuk. At that point, you can change this check to also accept Classic Controller, usually looking something like this in assembly which you can paste into CodeWrite:
Code:
  cmpwi r0, 0x1
  beq- RETURN
  cmpwi r0, 0x2

RETURN:
This isn't doing anything too complex: instead of just checking if the value is 1, this checks if it's 1, then checks if it's 2. That way, whatever behavior the game was going to run if the extension type was 1 (like skipping over running the Nunchuk error) will also run if the extension type is 2. A lot of the exact process for how the Nunchuk is checked for varies wildly from game to game, but the extension type values are part of the SDK, so they're something reliable to look for.


Ah, yeah, that one is a bit more difficult to edit. In a couple of my early hacks I was trying to optimize the button injector down to be as small as possible by checking multiple buttons at the same time. You can see me doing that in instructions like 70A42082. This is checking buttons 0x2000, 0x80 and 0x2 (2082) all at once, so the lines like that are where your problem is occurring, since the buttons are already mapped there. In later hacks I decided to stop optimizing the button checks just so they'd be easier to edit exactly for this reason. I should come back to Excite Truck to add IR pointer support anyway, since I made that one before I knew how to do that, so if you don't mind the wait I'll "modernize" the button injector when I do that, otherwise yeah, it will be a bit tougher to change the button values.



Yeah, I think it should be possible to convert crediar's existing Metafortress fixes into IPS patches which can apply to the main.dol. I don't know what the format of gameconfig.txt files is like but I think it's just a list of patches to the binary, which is essentially what an IPS is as well. I'm definitely not sure of this though, that's just roughly how I think it works.


I think the easiest way to do this would be to edit the code yourself. It's somewhat complex for this game due to the different pointer modes, so I'll put my (and crediar's, this button injector is based on crediar's work) original assembly in a spoiler below:

Some of them are pressing multiple buttons simultaneously, like 0x90 means 0x80 (toggle pointer) plus 0x10 (the Wiimote Plus button).


Yeah, Fluidity does seem like a bit of a complicated one overall. I still haven't looked into it yet, but it's a game I really like, so definitely one I'll make an attempt at. Whether that will be fruitful, who knows; there's plenty of games I've looked into but haven't been successful in hacking, with those games falling onto kind of a spectrum from "I want to keep trying on that one" to "I'll die if I look at that game for one more second." :D


That is definitely a cool feature, but sorry, not likely to be something I can do. That would require an understanding of how each individual game handles acceleration and braking, since that's all game-specific code. Finding how it works in a one game wouldn't really help me to understand how/where vehicle movement is handled in a different game entirely. I think the case where it would be most likely to be achievable by me would be if there's games that support using the right analog stick to accelerate/brake. It would probably be possible to reconfigure the analog shoulder input to handle existing right stick accelerating/braking, and it would have to be truly analog already--unlike Mario Kart Wii where the right stick behaves like two buttons rather than the analog values being meaningful.



I'll die if I look at this game for one more second.

Epic Mickey is somehow another paint-based 3D platformer developed by a third-party which broke through Nintendo's stranglehold on the Wii. Developed exclusively for the console by Warren Spector's Junction Point Studios, Epic Mickey features the gameplay hook of an interactive world that Mickey can change at will using paint or thinner. With an RPG-influenced quest system, the player's choices also affect Mickey's appearance and skill growth. Lauded for its creative design and reimagining of Disney history, the game was also derided for its poor camera and complex controls. A recent HD remake saw much improved review scores, but ... here's this one!

Highlights for @NestorM and @blue-spirit who were both interested in this game.

General Notes​

  • There is one motion input which I did not solve here: when you simultaneously shake both the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, Mickey fires off all three Guardians (Tint/Turp spirits) at once. You won't be able to do that move with this hack; instead, you'll have to fire off all three individually using separate Nunchuk shakes (R button). It would be nice, but it's entirely playable without it.
    • The accelerometer in the Nunchuk is probably the single part of KPAD that I understand the least. I started looking at this game about seven weeks ago. This is the closest I've gotten to understanding how the Nunchuk works, which was just barely enough to get a generic Nunchuk waggle working.

  • The total number of different inputs in this game is more than the number of buttons on a Classic Controller. Epic Mickey uses 8 buttons and four motion inputs, plus the infra-red pointer. The Classic Controller has 10 buttons and a Right Stick to cover all of that. I had to sacrifice the D-Pad to get some extra inputs, hence having L+Right Stick emulate the D-Pad.
    • Epic Mickey already has an infamously difficult camera; losing direct camera control here would not be great, so D-Pad Left/Right are intact for lateral camera movements in addition to the L+Right Stick method. However, for looking up/down, only the L+Right Stick method is available here. This can occasionally be awkward because L is also your lock-on button when near enemies. This does mean you may have trouble moving the camera up/down when enemies are nearby, but you'll usually only need to do this during platforming segments, not combat.

  • Controls here are a mix of the remake and just mapping button-for-button. As mentioned, this game has a lot of inputs and mapping everything like the remake would make things like the menus completely incomprehensible (e.g. I can't really move the Plus and Minus buttons because when the game shows a button prompt in the menu it will be completely wrong and confusing). This is also why the A (confirm/jump) button is double-mapped on both A and B, so that menu and interaction prompts which want you to press A will work normally, but you still jump with B like a normal game. The one thing to be careful of is that when a prompt wants you to press B to cancel, that's ZR.

Technical Notes​

Codes:
  • C2: bypass Nunchuk check

  • C2, C2 and C2 in read_kpad_acc(): Wiimote shakes and tilts; forcing the Nunchuk accelerometer to be "read" even when the extension controller type is Classic Controller; injecting fake Nunchuk accelerometer data before processing
    • these changes will overwrite memory where actual Classic Controller input is normally stored, so this needs to be backed up

  • C2 in calc_dpd_variable(): infra-red pointer emulation

  • 04, 04 and C2 in read_kpad_ext(): redirect left stick into Nunchuk analog stick; redirect right stick into (hopefully) free memory so it isn't erased by accelerometer; right stick D-pad emulation

  • C2 in read_kpad_button(): inject button inputs
Thanks! I actually did make my own version, (had my talented friend TechieSaru make it for me)! would we be allowed to distribute with credit?

@Vague Rant FORCE Classic controller mode in UWUVCI / Teconmoons injector uses GetExtTypePatcher. Thats the tool that somehow allows Super sluggers to work with the gamepad. It patches wiivc titles to work with classic controller for more info, but thats more details 👍
It patches to the main.dol

Oh no! Hopefully the nunchuk accelorometer is figured out soon, that must suck

Nice, I'm glad you eventually got DK Returns running on the GamePad, super awesome to hear that it works. Thanks for letting me know about Wario as well. The broken controls like that are usually a symptom of the Wii game not correctly detecting the Classic Controller; the same thing happens with injections of Excite Truck unless you enable the "Force Classic Controller connected" checkbox in the injector tool. I wonder if Wario could be fixed with that? If not, it's out of my hands, it's an issue with the Classic Controller emulation in Wii VC injection where it's just not compatible with some games. Unfortunately, that's the case for New Super Mario Bros. Wii, injected versions don't recognize the Classic Controller. Silent Hill definitely sounds like it's on the more complicated end of the spectrum, since it has multiple different hand motions that have to be recognized, so that's probably on the less-likely end, sorry.


That sounds like a great idea. It seems relatively feasible. I think the major complication would be remapping the inputs on the Wii Remote itself, since you'd need a different layout (A to jump, B to shoot, etc.). To date, I haven't done any remapping of original game inputs, only adding additional mappings on the Classic Controller, so I would need to figure out how to do that, but it does sound cool. I assume you mean retaining the original IR pointer for aiming, right? So you'd move on the Nunchuk, shoot/jump on B/A, maybe Morph Ball on Nunchuk C like in Prime, lock on camera on Nunchuk Z ... Concentration could either use the original motion controls or be mapped on Wiimote Minus or something, since the game doesn't use Minus anyway as far as I can tell. This is definitely an interesting one. As always, no promises, but my curiosity is piqued.

Animal Crossing: City Folk aka Let's Go to the City is the third game in Nintendo's Animal Crossing life sim series. The main addition to this entry was Wii Speak support the titular city, expanding on the small town areas of previous entries. This perhaps falls into the "controversial Wii sequel" series, with many complaints about the lack of improvements over the earlier games and the loss of NES games, since Nintendo were now selling those on the Wii Shop Channel instead of giving them away for free. Still, though not revolutionary, City Folk has the same charming atmosphere as the rest of the franchise. And at least it's a real Animal Crossing game. Cough, Amiibo Festival.

General Notes​

  • Two code varieties for this one, choose whichever feels more natural to you. IR aiming is pretty important to City Folk, with all inventory manipulation being IR-based. If you choose the Left Stick code, the Left Stick toggles between movement and IR input, i.e. you can't move and point at the same time. However, there's rarely any advantage to this, as there's no real multitasking possible. If you choose the Right Stick code, all you can really do is move the stupid cursor around while you run. Whee. If you want my opinion, use the Left Stick code.

  • Where possible, I try to "intelligently" enable/disable the pointer mode. The player can always toggle it on/off with the L button, but some other actions (opening the Inventory, Map or Photos menus) will automatically enable pointer mode for you. Try to remember to exit these menus using the same button you used to open them: e.g. you can press X to open the inventory (pointer turns on automatically) then X again to close it (pointer turns off automatically). If you instead open the menu with X then close it with B, you'll still be in pointer mode, because you didn't close with X. In this case, you should press L to disable the pointer manually. I'm trying here.

  • If the IR pointer movement is too fast/slow for you, you can adjust it by editing the float 0.015 (3C75C28F) about halfway through the code. You could adjust it down to 0.01 (3C23D70A) for a slower cursor, or bump it up to 0.02 (3CA3D70A) for a faster cursor, or whatever other number feels appropriate. There's plenty of hex float converters online, I linked one in a previous post somewhere.

  • It's worth knowing that this game supports USB keyboards. Using an on-screen keyboard with an IR pointer is sort of acceptable, but using an on-screen keyboard with a pointer you control using an analog stick is a bad time. If you have a USB keyboard handy it will hugely improve the experience if you're looking to do any typing (e.g. writing letters or chatting with other players over network play). It doesn't have to be a special Wii keyboard or anything; I use a standard PC Logitech Unifying USB dongle in my Wii. Failing that, if you use the phone in your house you can change the keyboard settings to use an old-school mobile keyboard which you might find easier to use with an analog stick.

  • I got a specific request (elsewhere, not in this thread) for an option where the Right Stick pointer is always enabled, but personally I think it's kind of bad. The game changes a lot of things about how it works when you're pointing at the screen, which don't make sense when playing on a traditional controller. For example, pressing A now makes you walk toward the cursor instead of interacting with whatever is in front of you. Pointing at the screen also causes the HUD to display at all times, which means the screen is cluttered with on-screen buttons the whole time you're playing. If anybody here wants this version, I guess ask for it but I find it offers an inferior experience to either of the codes above and shouldn't really be considered an equal option against those.

Changelog​

  • v1.1 corrects the cursor speed; thanks to @RiceKryzpi for noticing this!

Technical Notes​

This game has that same Super Paper Mario issue where the Home Button Menu causes a Classic Controller re-init every 64 frames. I solved it the same way, disabling getInfoAsync() from running. Thinking about it more since last time, I suspect this probably has something to do with checking things like the battery level that displays in the HBM. I do still allow getInfoAsync() to run when you first enter the HBM in both this and Paper Mario, so it's not like the HBM is running blind but if you just leave it open it might not correctly track the battery level or something pointless like that, I don't care.

Briefly, the code is: C2 to allow Classic Controller's left stick to be read for movement, C2 to disable the bad EXT error, 04 disable getInfoAsync(), C2 and C2 actually redirect analog reads to the Classic when needed, C2 custom read_kpad_dpd() (Left Stick code has an additional feature to prevent character movement while in pointer mode) and then the button injector gets inserted into KPADRead() in the last C2.

  • mogchamp from the AC: Wiimmfi Folk Discord for advising on the button layout
Hi! I noticed an issue: after a while of inactivity, City Folk will idle and ask you to press a button to resume. I'm unable to bypass this using this code, soft locking!

Thanks for the code! Having a wonderful time playing AC on controller!!

I've just edited the Mario Kart Wii post to add a full remapping assembly hack as I mentioned in a previous post. This hack remaps every button to the button that it already is, i.e. it does absolutely nothing by default. You can edit this any way you like and plug it into CodeWrite to get a custom button mapping.



That's awesome, congrats on the progress! Especially impressive without having any prior experience, great work. I don't really have a "generic" way to trigger motion controls across different games since they all tend to have different setups for their motion controls, so I generally have to write a different hack for each game that needs accelerometer stuff. It would be hard to really write up a tutorial on that because it's different for each game. The general idea is that inside read_kpad_acc() you need to force the game to load some specific accelerometer data instead of the real data whenever a certain button is pressed.

My usual trick for doing this is to map various accelerometer functions as buttons 0x80, 0x40 and 0x20 on the Wii Remote in the button injector. These are all unused bits on the Wiimote, i.e. technically possible button values which simply don't exist on the Wiimote. Then inside read_kpad_acc(), I'll write a routine which checks if the user pressed one of those fake buttons and load fake data in before calc_acc() (the function which processes that data) can run. calc_acc() is pretty easy to find because it always runs three times in a row, once for each axis. Before each function call will be an lfs f1, 0xXXX(r30) which is reading in the real accelerometer data, so that's the ideal place to insert some code to replace the real data.

For fixing Nunchuk errors, usually I will load the game up in Dolphin and let it run until it reaches some kind of Nunchuk error screen. Then in the Memory tab I will switch the search type to ASCII and search for the text that shows up in the Nunchuk error (e.g. "Please connect the Nunchuk to the Wii Remote" type of thing). If it is able to locate the error text, I can then set a read breakpoint (check the Read only button, then right click where the error text is located in memory and Toggle Breakpoint) on that text and find the code where the text is loaded.

From there, you want to use the Callstack in the Code tab to trace your way backward through the code trying to find where the actual Nunchuk check occurred which caused the game to display the error. I mostly do this part via trial and error, I'll go back one or two calls and set an execute breakpoint there (click in the left column of the disassembler in the Code tab) then switch to the Nunchuk in Dolphin settings and see whether that code is still running.

What you want to find is the point where different code paths are taken depending on which controller is connected. The extension types important to us are 0 (none), 1 (Nunchuk) and 2 (Classic Controller). So eventually you should reach a point where there's code which only runs if a specific value is not equal to 1. The extension check will generally look something like cmpwi rX, 0x1, but it's important to note that checking if something equals 1 is very generic code that's used all over the place, so finding a cmpwi rX, 0x1 doesn't mean you've found the Nunchuk check.

If you suspect you have found the Nunchuk check, set a breakpoint on that instruction and try letting the game run with no extension, Nunchuk and Classic Controller. If the register that gets checked matches the values I mentioned above based on which controller you have connected, you can be reasonably sure that it is checking the extension type. If that check fails (is not equal to 1), it means the current connected controller is not a Nunchuk. At that point, you can change this check to also accept Classic Controller, usually looking something like this in assembly which you can paste into CodeWrite:
Code:
  cmpwi r0, 0x1
  beq- RETURN
  cmpwi r0, 0x2

RETURN:
This isn't doing anything too complex: instead of just checking if the value is 1, this checks if it's 1, then checks if it's 2. That way, whatever behavior the game was going to run if the extension type was 1 (like skipping over running the Nunchuk error) will also run if the extension type is 2. A lot of the exact process for how the Nunchuk is checked for varies wildly from game to game, but the extension type values are part of the SDK, so they're something reliable to look for.


Ah, yeah, that one is a bit more difficult to edit. In a couple of my early hacks I was trying to optimize the button injector down to be as small as possible by checking multiple buttons at the same time. You can see me doing that in instructions like 70A42082. This is checking buttons 0x2000, 0x80 and 0x2 (2082) all at once, so the lines like that are where your problem is occurring, since the buttons are already mapped there. In later hacks I decided to stop optimizing the button checks just so they'd be easier to edit exactly for this reason. I should come back to Excite Truck to add IR pointer support anyway, since I made that one before I knew how to do that, so if you don't mind the wait I'll "modernize" the button injector when I do that, otherwise yeah, it will be a bit tougher to change the button values.



Yeah, I think it should be possible to convert crediar's existing Metafortress fixes into IPS patches which can apply to the main.dol. I don't know what the format of gameconfig.txt files is like but I think it's just a list of patches to the binary, which is essentially what an IPS is as well. I'm definitely not sure of this though, that's just roughly how I think it works.


I think the easiest way to do this would be to edit the code yourself. It's somewhat complex for this game due to the different pointer modes, so I'll put my (and crediar's, this button injector is based on crediar's work) original assembly in a spoiler below:

The ; comments at the start are the addresses to insert the code which you can paste into CodeWrite along with the assembly to get a Gecko code of the same, and from there you can adjust it however you see fit. I know it's pretty daunting to look at, but the parts you want to change are the lines that go ori r7, r7, 0xXXXX. They have comments after them like ; 1 to indicate what button that number means. Some of them are pressing multiple buttons simultaneously, like 0x90 means 0x80 (toggle pointer) plus 0x10 (the Wiimote Plus button).


Yeah, Fluidity does seem like a bit of a complicated one overall. I still haven't looked into it yet, but it's a game I really like, so definitely one I'll make an attempt at. Whether that will be fruitful, who knows; there's plenty of games I've looked into but haven't been successful in hacking, with those games falling onto kind of a spectrum from "I want to keep trying on that one" to "I'll die if I look at that game for one more second." :D


That is definitely a cool feature, but sorry, not likely to be something I can do. That would require an understanding of how each individual game handles acceleration and braking, since that's all game-specific code. Finding how it works in a one game wouldn't really help me to understand how/where vehicle movement is handled in a different game entirely. I think the case where it would be most likely to be achievable by me would be if there's games that support using the right analog stick to accelerate/brake. It would probably be possible to reconfigure the analog shoulder input to handle existing right stick accelerating/braking, and it would have to be truly analog already--unlike Mario Kart Wii where the right stick behaves like two buttons rather than the analog values being meaningful.



I'll die if I look at this game for one more second.

Epic Mickey is somehow another paint-based 3D platformer developed by a third-party which broke through Nintendo's stranglehold on the Wii. Developed exclusively for the console by Warren Spector's Junction Point Studios, Epic Mickey features the gameplay hook of an interactive world that Mickey can change at will using paint or thinner. With an RPG-influenced quest system, the player's choices also affect Mickey's appearance and skill growth. Lauded for its creative design and reimagining of Disney history, the game was also derided for its poor camera and complex controls. A recent HD remake saw much improved review scores, but ... here's this one!

Highlights for @NestorM and @blue-spirit who were both interested in this game.

General Notes​

  • There is one motion input which I did not solve here: when you simultaneously shake both the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, Mickey fires off all three Guardians (Tint/Turp spirits) at once. You won't be able to do that move with this hack; instead, you'll have to fire off all three individually using separate Nunchuk shakes (R button). It would be nice, but it's entirely playable without it.

    • The accelerometer in the Nunchuk is probably the single part of KPAD that I understand the least. I started looking at this game about seven weeks ago. This is the closest I've gotten to understanding how the Nunchuk works, which was just barely enough to get a generic Nunchuk waggle working.

  • The total number of different inputs in this game is more than the number of buttons on a Classic Controller. Epic Mickey uses 8 buttons and four motion inputs, plus the infra-red pointer. The Classic Controller has 10 buttons and a Right Stick to cover all of that. I had to sacrifice the D-Pad to get some extra inputs, hence having L+Right Stick emulate the D-Pad.

    • Epic Mickey already has an infamously difficult camera; losing direct camera control here would not be great, so D-Pad Left/Right are intact for lateral camera movements in addition to the L+Right Stick method. However, for looking up/down, only the L+Right Stick method is available here. This can occasionally be awkward because L is also your lock-on button when near enemies. This does mean you may have trouble moving the camera up/down when enemies are nearby, but you'll usually only need to do this during platforming segments, not combat.

  • Controls here are a mix of the remake and just mapping button-for-button. As mentioned, this game has a lot of inputs and mapping everything like the remake would make things like the menus completely incomprehensible (e.g. I can't really move the Plus and Minus buttons because when the game shows a button prompt in the menu it will be completely wrong and confusing). This is also why the A (confirm/jump) button is double-mapped on both A and B, so that menu and interaction prompts which want you to press A will work normally, but you still jump with B like a normal game. The one thing to be careful of is that when a prompt wants you to press B to cancel, that's ZR.

Technical Notes​

Codes:
  • C2: bypass Nunchuk check

  • C2, C2 and C2 in read_kpad_acc(): Wiimote shakes and tilts; forcing the Nunchuk accelerometer to be "read" even when the extension controller type is Classic Controller; injecting fake Nunchuk accelerometer data before processing

    • these changes will overwrite memory where actual Classic Controller input is normally stored, so this needs to be backed up

  • C2 in calc_dpd_variable(): infra-red pointer emulation

  • 04, 04 and C2 in read_kpad_ext(): redirect left stick into Nunchuk analog stick; redirect right stick into (hopefully) free memory so it isn't erased by accelerometer; right stick D-pad emulation

  • C2 in read_kpad_button(): inject button inputs
Unbelievable job. Thank you.

70A42082. This is checking buttons 0x2000, 0x80 and 0x2 (2082) all at once, so the lines like that are where your problem is occurring
Thanks. That was the clue. I changed 2082 to 2002 and the Turbo action was gone from ZL. The only downside now is that I have the back button on ZL in the menu instead of B, but that's just a little thing to keep in mind. 🙏

Hi guys. I have a tip for people who have injected little king's story on Wii u.
When you press home button or when you lose Wii u signal, you can't reconnecting gamepad.
All you gotta do is download wiiscrubber, extract the main.dol of your iso, open it in HxD, search 4BFFE7E1 line on hexadecimal research tool, and replace it with 60000000. Then replace the original main.dol with this modified main.dol and inject your new modified iso.
You'll still need to shutdown Wii u for leaving the game but this tip avoid the gamepad reconnection issue.
Found this tip on wiivc injector compatibility list (issue related for nascar kart racing).
So i managed to apply this method for little king's story, and it works !

Have you tried the deflicker filter option as well? I would love to play this game on the wii u gamepad, but it's just too much blur for my eyes. Maybe it's possible to integrate the deactivated deflicker to the main.dol just like in super mario galaxy.
@Vague Rant do you know if the deflicker code of super mario galaxy will also work on little king's story?

    The one problem I have with a lot of beard balms like that is that they smell so intensely that it's like the only thing I can smell for an hour
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Question, what does a beard balm/wax actually do? Is it just a hair oil product, or does it act as a gel and shapes it or what?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Yeah it's a hair oil, kind of like a leave-in conditioner, but it also helps to keep your skin under the beard moisturized a bit, and since it is oily it does help a tiny bit with helping it hold its shape or lay flatter especially after brushing it
