libdrc only works on Linux, if somehow you can port it to Windows that would be amazing

Yeah, that's definitely going to be a requirement if Phoenix were to use the library, along with OS X. All 3 platforms are first-class citizens for this project.

So, the job will be:

Port libdrc to Windows and OS X
Write custom drivers (if necessary) for the Wi-Fi card recommended by libdrc, or another popular card.

The "driver" portion of this project is a small change to net/mac80211/iface.c that exposes a network time sync object internal to the module as a file that can be accessed from user mode. I don't yet know if this is already done in Windows or OS X

I've gotten this working on an Arch VM. Here's what needs to be done to close this issue:

Windows: Check out their work on wudrnet, see how far along that is (and also buy the necessary hardware)
- Look into that hidden support Windows has for multiple clients in a single WiFi device. Can we have both a Wii U-compatable AP and still connect to an ordinary WiFi network at the same time?
OS X: Check if it's even possible. If so, get it working
Linux: DKMS for the patched module so it'll survive kernel updates
Make available custom hostapd and netboot as an add-on download for Phoenix
Write necessary UI to facilitate and inform the user about the connection to the Wii U gamepad
Determine for all 3 platforms what cards are supported
Make it clear to the user that they'll probably be unable to use their WiFi to connect to the Internet while using it to connect to the gamepad
Make necessary backend changes DRCOutput

Alternate method: Just stream over HTTP both ways. Implemented with UsendMii and Gamepad to PC:

I doubt the latency is great, but maybe it'll make for a good fallback method for those who don't want to buy the necessary hardware?

Just wondering, but has anyone gotten libdrc to work yet, if so, do you need a WiiU for it to work??

thefloppydriver commented 2 years ago

@WolfLink115 I'm patching and setting up instructions on how to use the gamepad as a second screen and controller using libdrc, check my github for updates, I'll be posting my forks of the project and my new project there soon. https://youtu.be/_whlwABk7HE

@thefloppydriver Hey, thanks for responding. Sadly I do not have my Wii U gamepad anymore. However when I get another one if at all, I might try libdrc again.

Thanks again!
