Gaming Homebrew Can i play NSMBW with Wii U Gamepad?

[MikaDubbz]

Theoretically, it should be possible, but it requires more work than the DKCR patch did, and the right people that would know what they're doing in this regard do not seem to be looking deep into it.

im smart but im not coder

Buddy, believe this from a coder... It never ain't as easy as the non coder thinks ;-)
What you're suggesting is a port. How many direct Wii to WiiU ports do you know of? :-)

They're not asking for a port, they are asking for the same kind of patch that Donkey Kong Country Returns received from a member in the hacking scene that allows the game to be fully playable with a Wii Classic Controller, motion controls remapped and all; so that they can then use Techonmoon's Wii and GameCube VC injector to push those controls to the Wii U GamePad, which is totally doable for any Wii game played only with a Wii classic controller or a sideways held Wiimote. It's happened before for DKCR, so it's totally feasible, but it does require someone that knows what they are doing to develop the necessary patch.

Sorry, then I apparently didn't know what I was talking about

This may help:

Needless to say, players will need to have modded their Wii in order to access this alternate control method as it takes use of the Ocarina cheat code system in order to work.


Those who own the title can boot the game via GeckOS with Ocarina enabled to activate the controller modification. First, players must create a .gct cheat file and place it in the /codes folder located on the root of the SD Card.

For further reading and ideas for remapping butons:


You're looking for something called button activators. Basically, a button activator is 4 digits within a code sequence, that does exactly what it says, it activates the button.

Here is the list of classic controller button activators:

Classic Controller Button Activator = 28200F0A 0000XXXX.
XXXX Values:
0001: Up DPAD.
0002: Left DPAD.
4000: Down DPAD.
8000: Right DPAD.
1000: Minus (Select)
0800: Home.
0400: Plus (Start)
0008: X.
0020: Y.
0040: B.
0010: A.
2000: L.
0080: ZL.
0200: R.
0004: ZR.

In your code, in the line that says "R" button, it ends in "0200". If you refer to the list above, "0200" is the code for R. So if instead you wanted to use X, you would change 0200 and make it 0008. If you wanted to make it "B" you would replace it with "0040".

Super simple stuff, but it can be confusing if you dont know what it all means.




Its in reference to DKCR but the logic is the same with NSMBW because its the same platform, same inputs and you're seeking the same solution. All you've got to do is find what the cheat codes are patching and there should be similar calls in NSMBW. Failing that you could message the people who made these mods for their input as its definitely doable. I posted about it in a reply to another thread but just spotted the codes so go for it.

This place has an active GC/Wii modding scene so may be worth a look:

Remapping buttons to other controllers can be done easily with hid2vpad, i wondered if there was something in there that could maybe help.

 

[ital]

Ideally this would be handled via a module in Tiramisu that remaps inputs like an evolution of its current controller patching. Theoretically it should be more than possible due to the access it has but @Maschell hasn't spoken on it so we might see it in the full version when its released.

Either way until that happens the above is more than enough to get it fixed if anyone wants to put some effort in or find those that know their way around the Wii.
