Hackers Reverse Engineer Wii U GamePad for PC Support on Nintendo gaming news, videos and discussion

A group of hackers have been able to reverse engineer the Wii U GamePad to enable connectivity with other devices.

During the Schedule 30C3 conference this week, the group showed off ongoing work to document and implement GamePad connectivity with a PC. During the demonstration, the group used the GamePad controller hooked up to a laptop to stream and play The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (GameCube version) via the Dolphin emulator.

The presentation notes can be viewed through a Google Document.
