I used the Sunshine game streaming software and the WiiU homebrew port of Moonlight to get game streaming working on a WiiU gamepad. It’s sort of like a bootleg Steam Deck, and it works surprisingly well, but it mostly just made me want a Steam Deck.
Hey neat! I did the same thing a few months ago! Not sure how to link things on here.
Did you also swap the charger for USB C?
Edit: This is the streaming post. And this is the USB C mod.
Neat! Nah, I haven’t done the USB C mod, but that looks pretty slick. I just use the charging cradle that came with the black WiiU deluxe set.
That’s fair. The box that held all my wiiu stuff was mysteriously missing the pad charger. I think I used a dock before too? At any rate, I didn’t want another charger laying around. I’ve got four 6 foot USBC cables coming out of a pair of chargers under my couch that I use for everything. It only made sense to change it over 🤷♂️
So far it works great. Though I about to not using very often, I’ve got an actual steam deck, and recently got a better laptop, so I primarily use those 🤷♂️
If someone wants to buy it for whatever the going rate of an unmodded wiiu is, I’m game. My ADHD enjoyed the process of modding it, now is back in a box lol
I think the white sets (at least in the US) might have shipped with a non-charging stand? Pretty sure there were white sets released in Japan that included one, though. Sounds like a nice setup! Maybe I should start USBC modding some of my stuff, if only to pare down my Big Drawer of Cables.
