Well, after hours of trying to get the Toshiba bluetooth stack to work on my MacBook with Boot Camp, it looks like there's no way I'm going to get this controller working here. I guess I'll just stick to my PS3 controller. :/

I think its using the Toshiba Stack because it works without the Bluetooth PIN this way. But im not sure.
Do you have trouble with getting it working, or are you just asking?
Because I had massive trouble and still got it working with onboard Bluetooth x)

At first I just tried the default windows bluetooth. I got the controller connected but it didn't work.
To be honest, I'm just too lazy to install the Toshiba stack...

Hey guys! I'm really sorry I didn't report any status for some time now. I'm still working on XBox Gamepad Emulation, however I don't really have that much time at the moment, because my final exams are really close and I have to learn for them... I'm really really sorry it takes me so long, but it's really not possible for me to put more time into it at the moment.

No worries. It's a good thing you have your priorities straight, unlike some of us. :/

Just got my Wii U Pro controller in the mail today, and the first thing I did (after I made sure it worked on my Wii U, as I got it off eBay) was I tried it on my computer. I have a TRENDnet Micro Bluetooth USB Adapter (TBW-107UB) that I've used for connecting my Wii controller to my computer (Win8), so I scanned for the controller, synced it, and then ran this program. It worked nicely with the games and emulators I tried, and while a little funny to use it as a mouse, it actually worked quite nicely as I could navigate Windows relatively easy. Of course it's not truly a controller for the computer, as games think it is more or less part of the keyboard.

Now, if only there was an Android app that allowed me to connect it to my Galaxy S3, then I'd be all set.

Ah, thanks, I will try that.
EDIT: Works great! Thank you for your good work!

I'm trying to install the Toshiba pack, but when it says to insert the Bluetooth device, it won't detect it when I plug it in. Am I using the wrong Bluetooth? I'm currently using the Rocketfish Micro Bluetooth Adapter.

I had it working for a few days but I never actually synced my controller up to the Wii U. After doing so, Toshiba Bluetooth registration fails. I have tried disconnecting the controller from the Wii U but it still doesn't work. I haven't found a way to "unsync" it. I'm assuming that most of you have used your controllers on the Wii U itself, too. Anyone know how to overcome the "Registration failed" message?

I restarted my computer and things seem to be working now :)

it seems the reason for this is that another program is using bluetooth. when i have dolphin or wupc running, and i have toshiba stack's errors(bluetooth not ready), i close the other programs and it works again.

someone else asked:
Is there a chance it will work with the default windows stack sometime?
No. the later-manufactured wiimotes and the wupc use different pipelines than the windows stack allows. Either Microsoft will update their bluetooth stack(which is unlikely) or you'll have to forever use the toshiba BTstack.

When i go to the link it takes too long to load up can anyone help me
The link for the Controller Program?
Yeah i just tested for myself. Its stuck on that loading bar, but you can download it anyway.
Just click "File" at the top left under the "Wii" of "WiiUProControllerWin.zip".
At the bottom of the opening context menu, hit download.

So i installed the toshiba bluetooth stack and have been able to get my controller connected a few times but for some reason i can't get it to connect to my pc consistently. I can try to search for the device and pair it but the controller always seems to instantly lose connection and the lights just stop flashing. Its completely random when/if I can actually get my controller to connect properly. Does anyone know how to fix this?
