    Hi Guys.

    I've softmodded my Wii ages ago and it was easy enough. I noticed you can now run homebrew from your Wii Channel on your Wii U easily enough (Super Smash Exploit).

    Before I attempt it though I was wondering about one thing.

    Emulators I then run from the Homebrew Channel on the Wii part of the Wii U. Can I run them on the Wii U Gamepad AND control them via the Wii U gamepad ?

    Or would they run on the gamepad but still need a Wiimote to play ?

    wii games played on the wii u gamepad are controlled by the wii controllers only the buttons on the gamepad do not fiction. The gamepad is only acting as a second screen for wii games while the missus watches crap on telly.

    i softmodded my wiiu with smashstacks and my little lad plays it on the gamepad as a screen but he has to use the wii joypad, its handy because we can watch tv and he can sit ther using the pad as a screen, its definately worth doing!!

    Well I went ahead and did it and it was super easy. Worthwhile I guess to have it on the gamepad screen for when the wife is watching something.
