Wii U Update 4.0 Out

[Terenigma]

Excellent update! Playing wii games without the need for a tv is awesome even if you have to use the wii mote. Baby steps Nintendo. Baby steps.

Can someone try a classic gamepad enabled game? How does it work with the Wii U gamepad

Here is a list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_games_that_use_the_Classic_Controller

tried a bunch of those and....nothing.

You still need to use a wiimote with the classic controller. No support for gamepad sticks, dpad, or buttons. Maybe they'll come later in an update, but I highly doubt it.

Aaawwhhh... Hope they will insert that soon then.

Nintendo have added code to vWii ios (58 perhaps?) so that the vWii display is mirrored to the hardware responsible for transmitting over radio. The gamepad just accepts the radio signal.

That is completely different ballgame than adding gamepad input support (buttons etc) to all vWii software.

I'm not saying it's impossible, I just think it's unlikely that Nintendo would spend the effort at this point. If it was simple they'd have done it already.

Being able to use the gamepad controls for games with classic controller support like Mario Kart or xenoblade would be great. Using the wiimote in front of the gamepad makes no sense for me personally. Also I don`t care about the other new features.

Never mind, installing usb loader gx forwarder solved both of my problems lol!

 

[blinkzane]

we might need to make forwarders force 16:9 in order to load it that way. seems it's possible. although it doesn't bother me right now.

All I have to say to the complainers is stop hating,it's a neat feature to have and a useful one I might add, why is it useful well I'll give you some examples:your no longer tethered to your tv you can bring your wiiu on trips,in the car or the back yard if you have access to electricity,your wiiu is more portable now with more options of games to play,I remember when I had a screen connected to my gamecube I used to take it everywhere work my family's house and play without bothering anyone good times I must say.also to the ppl banking on remote play with the psvita and ps4 good luck on that front cause you need a constant online connection to even try to do what you can with the wiiu let alone buy a vita separate lol.I know I'm happy with the update and looking forward to more improvements from Nintendo in the future.

wiimc wad for v-wii anyone? I'm having trouble finding it.

Maybe it's just something they missed and will rectify it in a future update and will add 16.9. Remember it couldn't have been easy to get Wii mode streaming to the gamepad and now they have bypassed that they can work on other nifty things for wii mode and gamepad. What we got it more than we got for gc mode on wii.

Already found a way to bypass it for now (installed RetroArch forwarder) Looks like an issue with HBC alone since the vWii menu looks perfectly normal. Forwarders are the only decent solution for now, and the RetroArch channel's pretty cool

I asked before and I think it got lost, has anyone else tried Devolution? I can't seem to get it to work after this update, I've only tried it with USB Config Loader (with forwarder and without). I doubt that makes a difference, I figured asking won't hurt though.

Worked fine for me loading through usbloader gx, even sent the gamecube image through to the gamepad

Man, that's pretty sweet, now I need a y-cable for HDD so I can use it on USB loaders Haven't tried Wii or Gamecube games yet, but I bet they look pretty good on the gamepad.

Huh, ok...I wonder why I'm not getting it to work then? It's good to know it's not having trouble for everyone.

#edit#
I realized what it was...it had nothing to do with the update, something about the flash drive I had plugged into the WiiU now to add a bit of storage (until I can afford a proper HDD for just that purpose) was causing it to have a problem. That's kind of annoying, but at least I figured out why it was having trouble.

Interesting thing I noticed is that web browser now reports a resolution of 1280x720 instead of 845xsomething (I don't really remember)

Really? Nice, does YouTube no longer lock up the browser?
