Hackers have managed to reverse engineer the Wii U’s GamePad, turning it into a tablet that can stream content directly from a PC. Shown off at the 30th Chaos Communication Congress, the team disclosed details on how the hack was performed on the GamePad before showing it off in action with a Gamecube-emulated demo of The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker.
The code is available but the team cautions that it’s recommended for developers. They eventually plan to release user-friendly tools for Windows and OSX in addition to an Android port to allow users to substitute the Wii U GamePad with their tablets.
