It took me awhile to sort through this thread to figure out exactly how to get this to work, so I figured I would make a short step by step to help everyone else figure it out! Enjoy!


1 - Alright well you must download the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack 8.0 (to sync your WiiU Pro Controller) from http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/index.php?page=download-toshiba Then once installed, sync the Wii U Pro like a normal bluetooth device using the new BT app (no pin #) and let the buttons continue to flash on the controller.

2 - Follow the steps from http://gbatemp.net/threads/wii-u-pro-controller-to-pc-program-release.343159/page-13#post-4654493 to break the 30 day restrictions of the bluetooth program.

3 - Download the 4 DLL files from http://www.mediafire.com/download/2xe936ozwus2u80/ProController_v0.1b.rar and place them in each of the game's folder that has the .EXE in it that you would like to use the Wii U Pro. (The game MUST fully supports an X-Box 360 Controller to work.)

4 - Once theses files are placed in there. Launch the game like normal (works for Steam games as well), A little dialogue box will pop saying its not fully 100% guarantee to work, hit okay and the game will start, the controller will flash and will permanently turn on (player 1 light on controller stays on). And done!

But please note, because its pretending to be a 360 controller, the buttons on Wii U Pro Controller are mapped to the same letter buttons on the 360 controller. So A (WiiU) is actually A (Xbox). If you know anything about theses 2 controller, they are actually in the wrong spot. ALOT of games I tried it with wont allow you to remap the controllers buttons so it takes time to readjust your muscle memory but works wonderfully once you get it down pat.

Hopefully that helps!
It's great that this works for Steam, but does it also work for OnLive?

What about this? Can the GamePad works without internet?
Hello, UsendMii is not using Internet, it is using your local network. The real question is, will we be able to use the Wii U Gamepad without the Wii U Internet Browser software. The answer is probably yes for most features like buttons. For the video and audio, only time will tell.

I'm getting error: The program can't start because MSVCP110.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

However, I made sure my VC Redists were all installed and up to date, as well as .NET stuff. I don't know why it's not being recognized.

Just letting people know, this will not work with the Afterglow WUPC. It works off of 2.4ghz wireless and not bluetooth, so it won't connect.

If you are on Win XP you need the following:

If you are on Win Vista you need:
If you are on Win 7 you need:
And if you are on Win 8 you need:
And keep in mind that it's best to install them in the order they are listed here.​

Everytime I try to install the Toshiba stack the "Bluetooth RFBUS" driver keeps failing to install, any help?

I have tried placing the dll files in the folder with the exe and the game won't start now :( I hope that Mayflash connector works because I can not get my controller to work with any Bethesda games at all so far. No joystick control :'(

I'm having trouble at the connection step. I am able to sync and get a device name, but it doesn't show the same name.

I know it's the right device as it only is registered if I sync the controller:

The device name is just some hex:

40:F4:07:CB:64:C0

And when I try to move to the next step of 'please choose the Bluetooth device you wish to use' I get an error of
"Detection of service failed."

Any suggestions?

did you ever get past this I have the same error but my controller name is listed correctly instead of being hex.

Thanks, but the issue is that I already had these installed for months and I am getting the error still. In fact, I redownloaded them and I found I'd already downloaded them like 3 times.

x360ce SVN r758

x360ce SVN r758 is compiled. Xbox 360 Controller Emulator (a wrapper library that translates the xinput calls to directinput calls) which allows your controller (GamePad, Joystick, Wheel, ...) to function like an Xbox 360 controller on a Windows PC. For example it allows you to play Grand Theft Auto (GTA) game with Logitech wheel.

Did everything and it worked all fine a few days ago. Now I have the Problem, that sometimes, not all buttons are mapped correctly and some aren't mapped at all. Best Example is Dark Souls: I start the game and GFWL shows me in the top left corner that a Gamepad is used. everything works fine. But sometimes, GFWL doesn't show the Gamepad Icon and in those cases, I can only use half of the buttons and they are mapped completely wrong...Same thing goes for aome other games...

What's the correct order of starting the program, starting the game etc?

First of all I wanted to thank Cyryus, because this xinput dll is really awesome. I use it wherever I can.

If someone has problems with a changed button layout from X360 controller I made version of dll with one similar to X360 (I just can't play RE5 with switched buttons).

I also saw that some people has problems with Toshiba Bluetooth Stack v8 (I had too). In my case installing Toshiba Bluetooth Stack v9 solve the problem (I'm already using Windows 8).

Oh, and one more advice. If someone like me don't have an X360 controller or want to use Pro Controller whole time for all games the easier way than copying dlls to game folder is replace them in Windows directories: System32 and SysWOW64 (for 64-bit systems). To replace "xinput9_1_0.dll" you will need to change file owner from "TrustedInstaller" to you and then change file permissions.
Before replacing dlls remember to create copy of original dlls in safety place.

Here is a link to dlls: http://www.mediafire.com/download/45616fk664wt5f2/.

Sorry, I didn't notice that you created that dll. In that case I want to thank both you Daku93 and Cyryus.

Thank me for the dll and him for the tutorial on how to use it ;)

I made an account just to thank you for that. The mapping in games was killing me! You're awesome. Now if someone would just remove that message that pops up before the games...

I guess just to report some bugs, It doesn't seem to work with steam big picture mode, bastion, or FEZ. The only game I've been able to get it to work with is mark of the ninja. It's really awesome when it works though since the Wii U pro controller is my favorite controller.

As an FYI dorkside, it won't probably ever work with steam big picture directly because steam rewrites the xinput1_3.dll each time big picture is launched, effectively eliminating any edits you made through installations of x360ce.

I see. Well that doesn't really matter that much to me. As long as they get the games working.
