Gecko Reader

This is a Wii homebrew app to read and print data from a USB Gecko.

The USB Gecko must be connected to slot A.

This app will also listen for TCP connections on port 4405. This connection is bi-directional; any data sent to this port will be written to the USB Gecko.

Usage

Press HOME or START to quit the app.

Pressing 1/X will toggle translation of end-of-line characters, from \r to \n. Most terminals expect \n to be the EOL character.

Example: accessing the COS Shell on a Wii U

Assuming you have the socat package installed, run:

socat READLINE TCP:wii:4405

Where wii is the address of your Wii console on your local network.
