  • You can now press the + button on the GamePad to switch into DPAD mode.
  • In this DPAD mode, the GamePad's touch screen will stop responding, and a pointer will show up on screen. The user can then use the DPAD to move this pointer around on the screen, and use the A button to trigger an action.
  • Pressing + again will revert to touch screen mode.
  • Note that due to the way that this works, in DPAD mode, the actions of the DPAD and A buttons are overridden, so their previous actions will no longer work. However, in the case of HBL, this is not an issue.
  • The same process can be performed on Wii Remote controllers, which is useful for those who want to use a Wii Remote but do not have a functioning sensor bar.
  • Theoretically, users should also be able to use Classic Controllers and Wii U Pro Controllers in the same manner, however I am not in possession of these devices, and so cannot guarantee that this works.
  • I added a new image file which represents the GamePad's pointer icon.

Would it be possible for you to provide the necessary elf file, with this fix added to the latest HBL release? It seems PR's aren't actually being merged..

EDIT: I actually found a link to the elf here: #28

It seems to be working for me. Thanks
