Wii U Update 4.0 Out

[bobmcjr]

At the screen where it normally asks you to point and click with a wiimote, it now has two selectable options: On TV or On TV & Gamepad.

There is no difference in handling of controls, gamepad controls are inoperable (it will flash a message saying so), but you can use its sensor bar.

Is the "On TV or On TV & Gamepad " message before or after the Point the Wii Remote at the TV message? I'm not getting that option . Limited edition zelda Wii u if that makes a difference.

After. You can also hold B when starting it up to hop straight over to vWii and have it on the controller if your TV isn't available.

Same time.

The gamepad shows "Point the Wii Remote at the TV to use the Wii Menu." [More text + Cancel button]
The tv shows: "Starting Wii Menu, Select a display option" [TV Only / TV & GamePad buttons + Cancel Button)

Still need to point at TV even with the b trick

I didn't. I just turned it off, turned it back on, and before anything happened, held B, and held it until it said it was going to the Wii menu.

 

[bobmcjr]

Maybe I need to start vWii at least once with these new settings or some sillyness like that before it will work

So all I need to do is install the update, shut it down. Start it up while holding B, then point the Wii remote to the game pad and use HBC like normal? Don't have to use the TV if it's being used. Wow. Awesome indeed.

Has it been confirmed if Emus stream to the gamepad, I haven't downloaded the update yet to check

 

[Maxternal]

I don't know about you guys but I think this is big enough news to make it to the front page

SNES GX worked fine for me, though as noted before, all HBC-ran stuff got squished to 4:3.

Yes they do, post #48 says HBC streams, since it is a Wii app, it will load as normal.

Have you tried RetroArch Wii? There are various aspect ratio settings in there you can try too

Indeed, it's finally happened, HBC, Super Mario Galaxy, USB Loader GX...how sweet it is. Now to find a way to prop up the game pad.

Whatever happened to the game-pad being used in vWii as impossible bit?

Awesome, new challenge to Nintendont and Devolution: make Gamepad buttons compatible

But, wait a minute, are Virtual Console and WiiWare games working too ?

Yes they work but you still need wiimote.

So you guys are psyched about this yet the controls on the controller don't work?
What's the point of seeing it on the screen then?
