An Aroma plugin that allows you to turn off the Wii U GamePad screen while keeping it active as a controller. Alternatively, it can also be switched off completely.

This is a modified version of the Padcon plugin by Maschell, designed for the Wii U Plugin System.

Features

  • Turns off GamePad screen while keeping it as a controller.
  • Option to power off GamePad entirely.
  • Customizable button combos in config.

Installation

Install Aroma.

Download the latest non-preview version, and extract it to sd:/wiiu/environments/aroma/plugins.

Controls

Note: You need to hold the buttons for a second to use the functions.

ZL+ZR+L+R+Plus - Disable GamePad screen, use as controller (press again to enable)

ZL+ZR+L+R+Minus - Power the GamePad down completely (power it on again to use it)

These button combos can be modified in the WUPS Config Menu (L+D-Pad Down+Minus). The plugin can also be disabled there.
