HIDtoVPAD is a homebrew application that allows you to use different wired HID controllers from other systems to emulate the GamePad, or a pro controller. You can connect up to 5 different controllers.

Supported Controllers and devices

There are various HID devices you can use for HIDtoVPAD, such as:

• Mouse and keyboard
• Dualshock 3(USB)
• Dualshock 4 (USB, new models need the Network Client)
• Gamecube (With the official or Mayflash adapter)

With the Network Client, it natively supports Xinput devices such as:

• Xbox 360
• Xbox One
• Bluetooth HID devices such as the Switch Pro

Other Controllers

Many more controllers can be added with the help of config files. The repo can be found here. You would download and place them in wiiu/controller. You can also remap existing configurations for controllers to your liking. You can learn how to do so by following the Gamepad button remapping.

Usage

HIDtoVPAD currently only works on Tiramisu. There is a WIP plugin for aroma but it is unstable at the moment.

1. Download the latest release from GitHub.
2. Extract the contents of the zip to the root of your SD card.
3. Boot up the Wii U and boot into Tiramisu.
4. Connect the controller you want to use to either USB port.
5. Launch the Homebrew Launcher and select HIDtoVPad.
6. Navigate to or tap the GamePad icon. You'll be prompted to press any button on your controller.
7. If successful, it'll close and you'll see the name of your controller over the GamePad icon.
8. Apply the patches and exit by pressing Start.
9. Boot up any game to test your controller out!

HIDtoVPAD does not work on WiiVC games. It will be disabled once you enter Wii Mode.
