Hi ! I've been following the development of this scene since last summer, and I haven't seen any kind of Homebrew that allows to play any game like Mario Kart 8 with the Gamecube adapter and controllers. I have 4 GC Controllers and I hate not being able to play with them with my friends more than Smash. Is it possible in the future to have this? Do we already have it? Sorry for my bad English, and if this was asked before I missed it. I really researched about this.
Thanks in advance!

We already have this. Also works for DualShock 3/DualShock 4 controllers, not just the GameCube adapter.
I'm not sure if it works for multiple GameCube controllers plugged into the adapter, but I've played Mario Kart 8 with it and it works great.

Of course, with the GameCube controller you're gonna lack 3 buttons.
The minus button, the ZL button, and the home button. But you can play quite a few games without the need of those.

The other answer is to get adapters to plug the GameCube controllers into wiimotes.
Click to expand...
Mario Kart 8 works with Wiimote + Classic Controller, but most other Wii U games don't.
HID to VPAD simulates the controls of a Wii U Gamepad, so it works with every Wii U game (well, provided that game doesn't require the use of touch screen controls).

    Games are getting huge nowdays, like 125gb a game (4k games anyways). I feel sorry for players that only have a 512gb hd. (Series S)

    I wonder if that was the point of game streaming
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    But it's a dead end
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, people who cant download it can still play the game
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    @BigOnYa, i only have like 1 or 2 mb sec

    Did you feed the hamster in your internet router? It prob died and is running slow now.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, why did you start saying my pc has a hamster in the first place?

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not to mention this would be a massive pain to pirate
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, ik

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player. (PlayerDirection)
