Hacking WiinUPro - Pro Controller to PC Gamepad

[KeyPuncher]

...
Anyway, I have another problem. When I try running the actuall software (WiinUPro.exe) I get this error:

If you're using the 32-bit version try the 64-bit version and visa-versa. That's what produces this error for me.

Has anyone had any luck in getting this to work with lillypad for a PS2 emulator?

I set it up with vJoy and am using it with PCSX2. It works perfectly.

Why is it that a Wiimote doesn't require the Toshiba Bluetooth stack, but the Wii U Pro Controller does?

The Wii U Pro Controller requires commands the Wii Remote doesn't use.

The Pro Controller is engineered similarly to the latest form of Wiimotes (with motion plus built inside and I believe they are the -TR model) which also had trouble connecting to other bluetooth stacks besides Toshiba's.

does rumble function work?

Not at the moment. I have a way to send rumble to the Pro Controller but I don't have a way to read rumble from an application (it's not supported through vJoy).

ok,thanks for answer

But newer Wiimotes are supported by GlovePIE without requiring the Toshiba Bluetooth stack.

Guys just another question,i've used succesfully the controller with 2 emulators(dolphin and pcsx2) and 1 pc game(lego lord of the ring) but when i tried to play fifa 13 i had several problems because only L stick works,ABXY are totally inverted, and all other buttons don t work,they are not recognised by the game. can you help me to configure it?

Is this what you are talking about?

If you have a Wii Remote Plus TR then GlovePIE 0.45 won’t work for you. But I made some modifications to use the new Product ID and the new Bluetooth name. I don’t know if that will be enough to make it work or not. Please test this new EXE file (you’ll need to put it with the contents of the GlovePIE 0.45 zip file too):
TestWiimotePlusTR.zip

What I know is that I haven't had any success with reading data from the Pro Controller when connected to another stack, it would always automatically disconnect itself. But I now have an idea, so I will put additional BT stack support on my to-do list.

Isn't this game xinput (360 controller) supported? If the ABXY buttons are inverted simply try changing their assigned joystick button values around.

What if i want to use it via USB?

Then you would have to be willing to open up your Pro Controller and make some soldering adjustments.
And someone would have to write code to handle the information coming in form USB.

I did just pick up a 2nd Pro Controller for $25, so I might look into this.

EDIT: Though I now see that the USB adaptor that was announced a while ago is now on ebay, so this of course would be a waste for me to do since the adaptor supports both directInput and Xinput. It's pretty cool for $22.

yes the game supports the 360 pad but during the game buttons L, R, ZR, ZL are not recognized and don't work.
this isn't a bit strange?

 

[KeyPuncher]

It's strange that it's working at all. Maybe the game minorly supports directInput controllers.
Or are you using x360ce?

 

[alessio9899]

nope i'm not using that,the game native supports 360 pad

 

[baconocab]

I've installed the Toshiba stack, and it is working, but for some reason, my Afterglow WUPC can't be found by it. Any idea what to do?

 

[Dork]

What if my onboard bluetooth doesn't support the Toshiba stack? Cause no matter what I do the "Bluetooth FRBUS" driver keeps failing to install every time.

Yup. I just ordered one. Thanks!

That's the reason, this program doesn't make your controller act like a 360 controller, just a normal directInput pc controller.

That's the problem V13Dweller had. I don't think it was ever resolved.

Then you would either have to get a dongle, the usb pro controller bluetooth adaptor that was just released, or wait until I can test out my theory on how to make it work without the Toshiba Stack.
