How Does It Work

• UsendMii is an HTTP server that delivers Web content to the Wii U Internet Browser software.
• The Internet Browser uses specialized JavaScript to obtain button states of the GamePad.
• The button states are converted to JSON and sent to UsendMii using WebSocket protocol. POST request are used for version before 4.0.0.
• When received, UsendMii will simulate keystrokes, mouse motions, or button clicks.

UsendMii 0.3.0 is now available.

Changes:

• Works with New Nintendo 3DS.
• Showing all available IPv4 addresses.
• Improved web menu.
• Updated Bootstrap to version 3.3.6.

Here is my video to announce the new version:

 

Yes, to have a faster button state transfer it's best to have 4.0.0 and up.

Simply open the PC Input page in a new tab and close all other tabs. That's the trick I'm showing in this video at 1:05

 

For the video feature I'm only using what is available on the Wii U Internet Browser. Here is the information from the Nintendo web site:

 

Hello, I'm able to go around 10 ms. Try it for yourself, start UsendMii by adding the -d switch. You should see the average time to get the button states.

This is way too complicated for me. The guys from libdrc were on a good start but I think the problem was to keep it sync for a long time. Plus the major problem was that it was only working on Linux due to the obfuscated version of Wi-Fi 802.11n and WPA2 AES-CCMP.

 

@Majk there is an HTML 5 track tag for supporting subtitles with the .vtt extension (WebVTT). The Nintendo Internet Browser support it (not tested yet). I think it could be possible to add it. I'm going to look into it.

 

UsendMii 0.3.0 will try to pick the one installed in the vJoy folder.

 

@Jahruze, what do you mean! vJoy does not work well in Windows 10 or UsendMii does not work well with latest version of vJoy installed on windows 10?

Sadly the only trick is to remove all your Bookmarks.
