This plugin for the Wii U Plugin System turns the Wii U GamePad screen off, but keeps it on as a controller. Alternatively, it can also be turned off completely. Button combos can be adjusted in the config menu.
Modified version of the Padcon plugin by Maschell.
- Install Aroma
- Check the Releases page and download the latest non-preview version of this plugin
- Extract it to "
SD://wiiu/environments/aroma/plugins" - Done!
You have to HOLD the buttons for a second, not just click them!
| Default Button Combo | Action |
|---|---|
| ZL + ZR + L + R + Plus | Disable GamePad screen, use as controller (press again to enable again) |
| ZL + ZR + L + R + Minus | Power the GamePad down completely (need to power it on again to use it) |
You can change these button combos in the WUPS Config Menu (L + D-Pad Down + Minus). The plugin can also be disabled there.
For building you need:
Install them (in this order) according to their README's. Don't forget the dependencies of the libs itself.
Then you should be able to compile via make (with no logging) or make DEBUG=1 (with logging).
Building via make only logs errors (via OSReport). To enable logging via the LoggingModule set DEBUG to 1 or VERBOSE.
make Logs errors only (via OSReport).
make DEBUG=1 Enables information and error logging via LoggingModule.
make DEBUG=VERBOSE Enables verbose information and error logging via LoggingModule.
If the LoggingModule is not present, it'll fallback to UDP (Port 4405) and CafeOS logging.
It's possible to use a docker image for building. This way you don't need anything installed on your host system.
# Build docker image (only needed once)
docker build . -t wiiu-plugin-builder
# make
docker run -it --rm -v ${PWD}:/project wiiu-plugin-builder make DEBUG=1
# make clean
docker run -it --rm -v ${PWD}:/project wiiu-plugin-builder make clean
docker run --rm -v ${PWD}:/src ghcr.io/wiiu-env/clang-format:13.0.0-2 -r ./src -i
