Hackers have reverse engineered the device
Hackers booto, delroth, and shuffle2 have reverse engineered the Wii U GamePad and the results are impressive. The group’s findings were presented at theChaos Communication Congressincluding a demonstration in whichThe Legend of Zelda: The Wind Wakerwas emulated on PC and streamed to the GamePad where it was playable minus some bugs. Skip to the 48-minute mark of the video above to see for yourself.
The slides from the presentation are alsoviewable here, but for most of us, the crucial point is that there are plans to release more user-friendly tools for pairing GamePads to Windows and OS X. What’s out there right now is intended for developers, though youcan take a lookif you’re curious about this stuff. Talk about exciting! I love the idea of theNVIDIA Shieldbut not its cost, and GamePad itself is a great controller. There are some wonderful possibilities here.
