Swap DRC is a homebrew application that allows you to play TV-only Wii U games on your GamePad screen. Swap DRC works by switching the display buffers for the TV and the GamePad with a press of a button. This app also includes the TCPGecko and Cafiine installers for other mods or hacks. The GamePad sensor bar can also be turned on when the TV image is on the GamePad screen, so playing with Wiimotes with just the GamePad is possible. The lite version of the app is also available which doesn't include TCPGecko and Cafiine. == Installation == Requirements: * An SD card. * Homebrew Launcher. * Wii U (firmware version 5.5.1; 5.5.2 and lower versions untested but may work). * (Optional) Cafiine server (e.g., [https://github.com/MrRean/Cafiine-410-551/blob/master/server/cafiine_server.exe the original by Chadderz and MrRean], [https://github.com/OatmealDome/MusicRandomizer MusicRandomizer], [https://github.com/Syroot/CafiineServer Ray's custom server], and more). * (Optional) Wii U's IP for TCPGecko or computer's local IP for Cafiine ([http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/wnetwatcher.zip Windows], [http://osxdaily.com/2010/11/21/find-ip-address-mac/ macOS]). * For Splatoon's enhanced controls: ver 2.10.0 - 2.12.0. To install, unzip SwapDRC.zip or SwapDRC_lite.zip and copy the wiiu folder into your SD Card. Make sure both directories are at: * sd:/wiiu/apps/homebrew_launcher/homebrew_launcher.elf * sd:/wiiu/apps/swapdrc/swapdrc.elf Safely remove the SD card and insert it into your Wii U, == User guide == Launch Swap DRC, then press A to install Swap DRC with TCPGecko, or press Y to install Swap DRC with TCPGecko + Cafiine (a cafiine server on your computer is required). You can now switch displays anywhere (but not in the settings menu, as it re-launches the entire System Menu). === FAQ === '''Q. What's TCPGecko and Cafiine?''' TCPGecko is a mod that allows you to use a TCPGecko editor to modify the ram through a TCP connection. A perfect example for this is the program Splathax, which lets you modify gear in your Splatoon inventory. Cafiine is another mod that lets you replace game files with modified ones for the game to load. A perfect example for this is the popular use of model and skin edits for Smash Bros for Wii U. Unlike the "Install TCPGecko only" option, Cafiine requires you to have a server running on your computer at all times. Don't use this if you don't want to use game file mods and have the computer running all the time. '''Q. Can I get banned playing online with Swap DRC in any game?''' Swapping displays doesn't modify the games directly but through CafeOS instead. Therefore, it is 100% safe. However, you can still get banned with TCPGecko and/or Caffine mods if you don't use them properly. == Controls == Switch display, audio, and GamePad sensor bar: * Press L and Minus together. * Press the TV button. Switch on/off GamePad LCD: * Press and hold R-Stick for 3 seconds. Splatoon's enhanced controls: * Press B to switch screens except in-game menus. * Hold A+D-Pad in any direction to super jump to a teammate or the spawn point during a match. == Media == '''Swap DRC - Swap TV & WiiU Gamepad Screens! - How to Play Splatoon ON YOUR GAMEPAD!'''
