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.
