Turn your Wii U GamePad into a Windows 10 PC

It is not the first time nor will it be the last that we will be able to see how a device runs an operating system for which it is not designed. Previously we have already seen an Apple iOS device running an Android version, an Apple Watch running Windows 95 or games like Doom ... This time we show you how a user has achieved turn the Wii U remote into a Windows 10 laptop and touch screen taking advantage of this functionality offered by the control of the ill-fated Nintendo console, with which the Japanese were unable to capture the attention of either the developers, a fundamental part of this sector, or the users.

On this occasion, the work that the banjokazooie user has had to carry out is not exclusively software, as is usually the case in most transformations of this type, but you had to open the device to install a computer with HDMI connection to the screen of the device, but respecting all the functionality offered by the remote, so that you can play both Nintendo games and run full Windows 10 applications.

This device runs Windows 10 and Cemu, a Wii U emulator, so the console never loses its functionality in the process. In the video that I show you below, we can see how this "invention" is capable of running both Windows 10 and the Wii U emulator quickly without any type of operating problem or lag of any kind.

Inside this experiment we find an Intel M5 Core, with 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB of internal storage, a 2K LCD touch screen, bluetooth connection, Wifi and a slot for microSD cards of up to 128 GB. This device is managed by 2 batteries of 3.7 V and 4.000 mAh. It also integrates a sound card and a USB connection to connect any USB stick or hard disk.
