emulate wii u gamepad without gamepad conected #67

Open buzondevoz opened 5 years ago

buzondevoz commented 5 years ago

i have a wii u without gamepad, and using coldboot and homebrew launcher im able to open hidtovpad and use almost everything in the wii u without it. But when i try to emulate the gamepad, it just doesnt work, it recognize the dualshock 3 and work for the first botton, but then it stop. the problem only happens when there is no gamepad conected, because when i borrow one for the instalation of everything the application works as expected, but when its away or not sync it dont work anymore. it also happend when i try to emulate the pro controller. im in 5.5.3. its anyway that i can emulate a gamepad or pro controller without the gamepad always conected?

I never tried it, but you should be able to emulate a pro controller. Make sure not to use the emulated pro controller slot (e.g. emulate the pro controller 1 when having a real wiimote/pro controller connected using the first slot /led).

Emulating the Gamepad without having it connected may be a problem, I never looked into it.

The emulation for the pro controller is perfect in the botton input, put there is anyway to use the acelerometer in the dualshock 3 for the sanctuarys in BOTW? And also there is no home botton in the joystick, so i have to use a wiimote to access the home menu and exit, it can be mapped to the ps botton? Thanks for the answer, your application is great and really help me a lot :)

The Wii U gamepad has way more sensores than the dualshock 4 controller, a good emulation is not possible, sorry.

The home menu can be opened, but not closed, that's why it's not implemented.

This unfortunately doesn't work. Without a gamepad, the only way to apply the patch is to have a physical controller (like the wiimote or pro pad) connected. In short, it's not possible to use the patch without the gamepad connected. That's unfortunate, as like the OP, i don't have one either and it's absolutely possible to use the Wii U without one (once you've got past the initial setup). I appreciate we're a niche market but this would be a very helpful feature.

can't you enter the homebrew launcher and launch hidtovpad?

I can, but that's not the issue. Just to clarify - I have a wii remote but no gamepad. The problem is when I assign a HID controller to slot 1 it disconnects the wiimote and I'm no longer able to apply the patch. If i reconnect the wiimote my HID controller is removed.

The only way I can think to resolve this is a hack - have the patch be auto applied following a controller assignment. Obviously if you're looking to assign multiple controllers that's not going to work, but it does at least help with my use case. I'm going to write a patch and give it a go.
