Homebrew launcher navigation through Wii U Pro controller
https://github.com/dimok789/homebrew_launcher/issues/28
- You can now press the + button on the GamePad to switch into DPAD mode.
- In this DPAD mode, the GamePad's touch screen will stop responding, and a pointer will show up on screen. The user can then use the DPAD to move this pointer around on the screen, and use the A button to trigger an action.
- Pressing + again will revert to touch screen mode.
- Note that due to the way that this works, in DPAD mode, the actions of the DPAD and A buttons are overridden, so their previous actions will no longer work. However, in the case of HBL, this is not an issue.
- The same process can be performed on Wii Remote controllers, which is useful for those who want to use a Wii Remote but do not have a functioning sensor bar.
- Theoretically, users should also be able to use Classic Controllers and Wii U Pro Controllers in the same manner, however I am not in possession of these devices, and so cannot guarantee that this works.
- I added a new image file which represents the GamePad's pointer icon.

Here's a channel version as well. Extract this archive and put the contents inside the sd:/install folder, and install them using WUPInstaller Y-Mod or WUPInstaller GX2.
Note that if you already have the Homebrew Launcher channel installed, you should uninstall it first, before installing my version, otherwise some weird caching issues may occur, resulting in the channel being broken.
