Hacking Nintendont

PS3 controllers work pretty well

So I have a wireless PS3 remote that plugs in with a usb dongle, its not Bluetooth. Will these work with this or does it have to be usb and wired for it to work?

As long as what it's connecting through is plugged into a USB port and the it's only seen by the software as a standard USB HID device, other details about what happens between the USB port and the buttons you press don't matter.

Test it with HIDtest and see if it sees it. I don't think you've got anything to lose.

Is HIDtest ran on the vWii homebrew channel? I didn't see it in the menu but maybe I put it in the wrong spot

same way you install all homebrew

/apps/name/boot.dol

Ill look into it, I just tried plugging in the usb dongle and it doesn't light up like it does on the PC when its plugged in, tried on the front and back ports on the WiiU.

You need to name the DOL file as "boot.dol" and put it in a folder something like /apps/hidtest/ for it to show up.

Yep it works with that, the premade PS3 config just didn't match up for the rock candy remote. Switched the values in the remote config ini and its working now thanks!

I meant SD card compatibility

 

[DarkenSX]

not to rain on a good idea and work but why not just port the Dolphin emulator? or build off of it to make this as it has good compatibility with alot of titles already.

Because Dolphin is an emulator.
It needs far more processing power and memory than the wiiu in vwii mode can deliver to it.
Nintendon't uses the same programming techniques as devolution. Basically, the same compatibility should be possible.

Because Nintendont isn't an emulator. Did you even read the first post?

I've tested these and they all work.

Honestly i think a list should be made, it's going to be quite some time before we see any kind USB compatibility. It'd be the productive list to make so we don't get more false reports of games not working.

it does not use the same techniques as devolution

Because you don't understand technology.

 

[MassiveRican]

Porting the dolphin emulator to Wii would not only be impossible but useless.

 

[kangaroogreen]

Is the only reason why we aren't using the same methods as Devolution is because he won't release the source code? Because I have literally never seen a game run badly on that, but it's just for the stupid disc verification...

Ain't gonna happen, emulation isn't magic

Emulation isn't possible in vWii, its just not strong enough

We need Wii U Brew to make an emulator for gamecube

the 3ds gateway actually gave me an idea but i'm not sure if its possible for vWii. Make EmuNand on the SD card to make the wiiU think it has a mios. We could install dios mios on the EmuNand and someone can make a launcher that supports it.

But as I said, it's just an idea and I doubt its possible

Even if that works, how are you going to control it with no way to insert gamecube controllers?
