# Wii VC Launch
Wii U plugin to enhance launching Wii VC titles and Wii Mode.

## Features
### Custom dialogs *(applies to Wii VC only)*
- Select a display option (TV Only, TV and GamePad, etc.) with any controller
- Autolaunch into a specific display option bypassing all dialogs
 - Keep A pressed when launching a game to force open the Select a display option dialogs
 - Falls back to the GamePad screen if TV not connected

### Original built in dialogs *(applies to Wii Mode & Wii VC)*
- Enables the GamePad sensor bar for built in dialogs
- Allow using a Pro Controller to Select a display option in the built in dialogs

### Video
- Set the resolution to 480p, 720p, 480i, or 576i (including 4:3 variants)
  - Can be set separately for Wii VC and Wii Mode

## Installation
For convenience, you can download Wii VC Launch directly on your console from the [Homebrew App Store](https://github.com/fortheusers/hb-appstore).

Alternatively, download the latest release from the [Releases page](https://github.com/Lynx64/WiiVCLaunch/releases/latest) by clicking on `WiiVCLaunch.wps`. 
Copy the `WiiVCLaunch.wps` file into `wiiu/environments/[ENVIRONMENT]/plugins`, 
where [ENVIRONMENT] is the actual environment name (most likely 'aroma').

## Usage
Open the plugin config menu by pressing L, DPAD Down and Minus on the GamePad, Pro Controller or Classic Controller, or B, DPAD Down and Minus on a Wii Remote.

Custom dialogs: 
<img width="427" height="240" alt="A screenshot of a Wii U pop-up window. It displays the text 'Select a display option.' At the bottom of the window are two buttons: one on the left labeled 'Use GamePad as controller' and one on the right labeled 'TV Only.'" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/84cbc733-c8ab-4941-9059-a8217b908616" />
 While this is displayed you can, on any controller:
- Press B to cancel
- Press +/START to set the display to only the Wii U GamePad screen

If custom dialogs are disabled:
- Autolaunch cannot be used
- Set resolution can still be used

"Preserve SYSCONF on Wii VC title launch" and "Permanent Wii Internet Settings" (Disables Wii Internet Connection Settings overwrite) are useful in combination with [Priiloader](https://github.com/DacoTaco/priiloader) or Wii homebrew that can change the Internet Connection settings. If you don't have Priiloader installed you don't need to worry about them and can leave them both on `false`.

## Building
Remember to add `--recurse-submodules` to your clone command to get the submodules.
If you have already cloned the project you can run `git submodule update --init --recursive`.

For building you need:
- [wut](https://github.com/devkitPro/wut)
- [wups](https://github.com/wiiu-env/WiiUPluginSystem)
- [libnotifications](https://github.com/wiiu-env/libnotifications)
- [libfunctionpatcher](https://github.com/wiiu-env/libfunctionpatcher)
- ~~[libmocha](https://github.com/wiiu-env/libmocha)~~ *(available as a submodule, usage recommended)*

It is recommended to use the `libmocha` git submodule included in this repository.

then run `make`

## Building using the Dockerfile
It's possible to use a docker image for building. This way you don't need anything installed on your host system other than Docker.

Remember to add `--recurse-submodules` to your clone command to get the submodules.
If you have already cloned the project you can run `git submodule update --init --recursive`.

```
# Build docker image (only needed once or if the Dockerfile changes)
docker build . -t wiivclaunch-builder

# make
docker run --rm -v ${PWD}:/project wiivclaunch-builder make

# make clean
docker run --rm -v ${PWD}:/project wiivclaunch-builder make clean
```
