Are we not able to simply remap the buttons for the Wii U Gamepad? No other peripherals necessary? I really want my Xbox ABXY layout. The Switch lets us remap and I'm so used to it, getting used to Nintendo's wonky button layout isn't working for me.
I'm having trouble getting HID to VPAD working.
I've followed the guide at wiiu.hacks.guide to install tiramisu and set it to autoboot, I've installed games dumped via my wii usingTeconmoon's WiiVC injector and they run fine, and other homebrew like save managers has worked fine to copy my save files over, but I cannot get it to register HID devices at all. I'm trying to use a gamecube adapter, it works fine in smash but not in HID to VPAD or HID Test. I've also tried using a USB keyboard and it didn't recongise that either.
HID Test does not show the rows of Hex codes, just the title & build date at the top and the press home to exit message at the bottom. The text at the bottom flickers slightly every couple of seconds. I did see the HEX codes appear once, but they didn't change in response to controller input and I've not been able to make them show up again. I don't think it's crashing because pressing home still works to return to the launcher.

I'm trying to use an 8BitDo adapter, the brown one, with a DualShock4 to use for gamepad cause my gamepad's ZR trigger is broken and I can't get into games like Splatoon.
The controller automatically goes into Switch mode and seems to be picked up but only glitches out and sees the left and right sticks moving up-left. Trying to switch modes on the 8BitDo (like Share+Up makes it go to Xinput mode) doesn't change anything and doesn't pick it up anymore.
Tried HID Test and I don't see any of the hex codes. Anyone know what I can do?
(UPDATE) I found out about Tiramisu and updated my CFW to that and got Bloopair working. Guess I don't need help anymore.

No, but:
Maschell did experiment with reading gyro data from DualShock 4 controllers, but it wasn't accurate enough to include in the main release. The source code is here: https://github.com/Maschell/hid_to_vpad/tree/DS4GyroAndTouchtest. I failed to build it, and when a fellow member here built it for me, I only managed to get it to run successfully once. I turned off the console to add the config file for the controller and all times after that it crashes to a black screen on launch.
If you're feeling up to building it from source, I would be interested in having another go. I use my Xbox Elite controller with a Brook Xone adapter, and this includes gyro for Switch and DS4 emulation.
You might need to connect your Pro Controller though the Network Client on a PC and get some sort of utility to make it show up as a DS4.
Something to look into I guess. Honestly I just just using that to base my decision on whether to get a used wii u controller or a new fancy switch one.
I would recommend sticking with the Gamepad if the weight isn't uncomfortable for you, especially if you're going to play WWHD or TPHD - having the inventory / map to hand on a second screen is great, and as you have noticed, it seems to be the only way to get gyro aiming (NB the Wii U Pro Controller doesn't have gyro). If I didn't have a controller with back paddles to let me run and jump in BotW without taking my thumb off the right stick, I would probably have played through the game completely on the Gamepad rather than only switching to it for motion-controlled shrine puzzles.
Yeah fair enough. The gamepad just feels so alien lol. For now I'd rather use thumbstick aiming on the wiiu controller, but if there was a way to get controller gyro I'd pick that option every time. I'm sure eventually I'll get used to the gamepad tho.

Did you ever get the 8bitdo USB adapter work, though?
I also don't need it because bloopair was released.
I am just curious because I spent a long time trying to make it work. I also got the random analog inputs in HIDtoVPAD
Does anyone have a config file for GC controllers with the Z button configured as the Wii U GamePad's R button ?

You dont even have to remap every button, just your desired ones.
@Maschell sorry if this has been asked before over the years. But is it possible to alter the config file for the settings that change the GamePad controls with Hid2Vpad, to only enable the changes to controls when you start a specific Wii U title? I want to change the GamePad controls, but ideally only when I enter one specific game I have installed.
Don't you just create a new txt file with the game name? I haven't used this in a while but I'm sure i did that with mario kart ds to swap the shoulder buttons, and I'm sure you told me that now i think about it so maybe I'm not understanding lol!
Wasn't me that told you anything like that. Seems feasible what you say is true, but does the game name for the file name need to be the title ID?
Oh see, that actually is how I have mine setup for Mario 64DS, but the remap of the GamePad controls still take place across the entire System in any title and not just in Mario 64 DS when you load that.
AH!! I thought the game name thing was a bit too easy and had no idea that happened as I hadn't went into any other games after playing those titles.. Thanks for the info then and sorry that wasn't the answer!
