'''HID to VPAD''' is a tool that allows USB-powered devices (such as controllers and keyboards) to be used in place of the Wii U GamePad or Wii U Pro Controller. It works by patching the console's functions, allowing the input to be passed between all software until the system is powered off (or System Settings is launched).

== Features ==
* Native support for common USB-HID devices like the DS3,DS4 and the GC-Adapter.
* Emulating the WiiU Gamepad and up to 4 WiiU Pro controllers simultaneously.
* Support for XInput controllers (e.g XBox 360 and Xbox One) or Bluetooth HID-Devices (e.g. Switch Pro Controller) over the network.
* Support for other controllers can be added by providing a valid configuration file.
* Remapping of your WiiU Gamepad button layout.
==Setup==
Firstly, you will need a system with the Homebrew Launcher set up. Once that is done, you can either download the zip from above, and extract the files into <code>/wiiu/apps/hid-to-vpad</code> on your SD Card, or you can download the program using the Homebrew App Store.<br />
Now you need to launch HBL, insert your USB device, and then launch the program. You will see an menu where you can map your controllers.
==Supported Devices==
HID to VPAD has native support for common HID-Devices when they are connected via USB.
* Mouse (experimental)
* Keyboard
* GameCube via the official GameCube-Controller-Adapter for the WiiU.
* Switch Pro Controller via USB.
* Dualshock 3 (via USB)
* Dualshock 4 (via USB and only the old model, for the new one you'll need the network client)

Native support when connected via the Network Client [http://gbatemp.net/threads/hid-to-vpad-network-client.466150/]:
*  XInput (Xbox 360, Xbox One etc.)

The default mapping for each controller can be found in the offical wiki[https://github.com/Maschell/controller_patcher/wiki].

==Configuration files==

Controllers can be configured via config files which need to placed into the following folder:
Code:

    sd:/wiiu/controller

With the help of these files, support for new Controller can be added, or existing native configurations can be overwritten.<br />
The controller patcher wiki, provides information about creating own files. <br />
Configuration files will be collected in this [https://github.com/Maschell/controller_patcher_configs] repository.
