I made the changes. tell me if they look right.

It seems mostly fine, except for two things:

• On the second image, I can see two the same IF statement about the quarter clockwise being mentioned in lines 141+ and also at 163+, but in the 163+ section they're commented out. Was this a simple typing mistake? Since in the 1st image it looks fine.
• I forgot to mention that this line:
  

  if(drcbutton & WIIDRC_BUTTON_R) button |= PAD_TRIGGER_Z;

  Should be commented out (or deleted), since the Z button will now be mapped to the MINUS button.

what line is that one? the one in your post "code"?

 

[godreborn]

I compiled it. see if it works:

here's it complete (forgot about that):

In your "first edit" post, it's located in line 190.
So in line 190 (or around there, depending on how many lines were added by the IF conditions for the trigger stuff) it should be like this:

(last line of the trigger code here)
if(drcbutton & WIIDRC_BUTTON_MINUS) button |= PAD_TRIGGER_Z;
if(drcbutton & WIIDRC_BUTTON_PLUS) button |= PAD_BUTTON_START;
if(drcbutton & WIIDRC_BUTTON_HOME) goto DoExit;
//write in mapped out buttons
Pad[WiiUGamepadSlot].button = button;
...

(I didn't see the BUTTON_PLUS = START line in your code, so I added it to make sure it's not being overwritten with that of the MINUS button).

I think that part was deleted when I removed the redundant lines of code. plus and minus are flipped if that matters.

Ah that's fine. The lines being flipped doesn't have any real importance when it comes to the compiled code.

here's it complete (forgot about that):

This one has the PLUS/MINUS lines added in?
(I kinda missed this post and only saw it when opening your last response lol)

 

[godreborn]

yes. I've changed nothing since.

 

[ShadowOne333]

yes. I've changed nothing since.

Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to make the changes.
I'm not home, but when I get there I'll make sure to give this one a test with Super Mario Sunshine properly.
I'll post back to let you know the results
Thanks again!

I hope it works. if it doesn't, I can always send you the PadReadC.c to look over yourself. I'm using visual studio 2019 to make the changes.

Oh my, that didn't occur to me (modifying the PadRead.C file directly and send it over for a quick compile).
If anything goes wrong, I'll do that instead so it's easier for others to compile if another update does drop.

Thanks!

it does help me learn a little more about modifying code. I've made changes to this ds homebrew before when it was like 8-10 years old using someone's guidance, and it did work. also, I've tested nintendont that I've compiled on my wii u, and it worked without a problem. it was just a normal compile though, no changes to code. it had the current date as the build date. lol

Oh you're compiled your own build of Nintendont as well?
Or you mean you tested the one you just made on your WIiU?
Gotta say tho, giving coding a tackle at 8-10 yo is a feat on its down.
I'm way past those years and I still feel like a noob at best with anything programming-wise.

 

[godreborn]

not my own build. I just compiled what was on github to see if I could. there's nothing more satisfying than finally compiling something. some apps have given me a lot of trouble just to compile them.

 

[godreborn]

I don't remember all that's required for nintendont, but I think pacman -S zip and unzip are for the kernel.elf. that's the only thing I can remember when I was trying to compile it for the first time.

@ShadowOne333 , I just tested it. the buttons have indeed changed with the gamepad. B is jump, select is opening the map, and what was B is now Y (throwing yourself forward). I think you'll be happy with it.

Awesome!
I haven't been able to test it yet, been having a hell of a busy weekend.
Which one is the right dol?

Or this one?

they're both identical. it didn't mention that it would rename the loader.dol to boot.dol in the build window, but it did. I even hex compared them. it's just whichever one you want to use. the second is just a rename.

Neat! I'll download the second one then, and hopefully I can test it in a bit.
Thank you!

I hope it works out for you. I only tested a few of the buttons. I couldn't remember what the buttons even did to begin with as it's been a while since I've played sunshine.
