I would like to understand more about these files. I remember Tales of Graces had an english menu patch in a form of a dol file and seeing that Usb Loader Gx is capable of loading dol files while running a game. Would it be possible to make a dol file that can make a classic controller emulate a wiimote plus nunchuck controller?

.dol is the executable format on the GameCube and Wii. Think .exe on Windows.

Controllers are handled by IOS, so not exactly. It wouldn't be emulation, as you'd be modifying the input code of the game directly, it would be native support, but it would require game specific patches doing it this way. Controller emulation through IOS, like Fakemote, would be more universal.

I would of used fakemote if it had classic controller support.

There exists a emulation from wiimote/nunchuck to classic controller. But you have to own a WiiU because its a Wii VC injection. It also available for other games but needed to check on your own super-mario-galaxy-2-using-the-wii-u-gamepad

You can use UWUVC Injector to create a Wii VC with Classic Controller Emulation. But a Wiimote/Nunchuck cant be used anymore. Compatibility list for Wii VC wich also shows CC Support. There exists also Tutorial.

    I want a handheld gaming system with a tablet sized screen, like a 8 or10" screen, with controllers that can detach like the Switch.

    I don't see the buzz about a square screen personally. I think there will be a review on the site within a few weeks though if you are interested.

    I've put down the money on the Odin 2 Mini since I just love that Vita form factor. Loved the power of the Odin 2 but the size always put me off, this one seems exactly what I've been wanting.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I don't care about the square screen it's just nice to hold something you don't have to stretch your arms a foots length
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    All these things expecting to be super huge is overrated just run a type c cable to your TV if you want a big display or in my case screen mirror it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    On the go tho I meant, I use my 10" tablet and a Bluetooth controller for retro gaming while sitting on my porch or on long car rides sometimes. Easier on my eyes than the Switch screen.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My point is we already have enough shit with big displays having something pocketable with up to ps2 would be fine on the go

    Ken unless the games are made for that screen size most suck on a screen that size... Having a square screen and being brighter and higher res helps but it's not a cure all, text is tiny bullets are tiny, your.... Well lol
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
