Damn, MattKC doing God's work and making an application that turns a Linux install into a Wii U gamepad. Super important actually, because Wii Us NEED that Gamepad to function and they are A) region locked and B) no longer repaired by Nintendo. This is extremely good for ensuring the console doesn't become little more than a paper weight.

@beardalaxy nice to see Wii U getting saved again, the MICA2 wireless chipsets from the gamepad are impossible to get, tried twice and both times were rejected from export in China, maybe they were also used for radar or something, was thinking of trying to repair/reball the board, they’re a common failure point

@maylay the Wii U is by far the best box you can get if you're wanting to play all Nintendo games pre-Switch so I'm glad it is still getting a lot of love.
