(wasn't sure what prefix to use so let me know if I made a mistake!)
After our gamepad broke, I was advised to try Vanilla to make my Linux laptop into a gamepad. I was able to connect it to my WiiU successfully but was then met with the screen "update your gamepad to continue" which stops me from using it. I think this is an issue with the code of Vanilla that it doesn't have the right EU version saved needs an update. Anyone know if I could fix this myself somehow? The other gamepad emulator ran into the same issue but apparently got it fixed by, and I quote from the fix thread;
"
The Wii U sends a command with the service ID 5 and method 0x06. The response it expects is the firmware version.
From the libdrc documentation:
"
Any help to get it fixed for Vanilla? If not, I can try the other app but it looks a lot harder to install...
Update; decided to try drc-sim and got it to the point of almost connecting only to have the window showing the IP be too small and not actually show the IP I need ;-; how do I resize this window???
Update update: finally got it working by adding -v to the launch so that the IP shows up in the terminal log. Phew finally fixed

From the libdrc documentation:
At the moment the dev branch sends null data and the master/version 1.1 send an old European version. With the correct, dumped version data the gamepad would register as updated to the Wii U.Returns the 4 byte UIC firmware version followed by the first 768 bytes of the UIC EEPROM.
