# SWAP DRC for TV-Only Wii U Games
# Swap DRC for TV-Only Wii U Games

Introducing Swap DRC, a homebrew application that allows you to play TV-only Wii U games on your gamepad screen.
Introducing Swap DRC, a homebrew application that allows you to play TV-only Wii U games on your GamePad screen.

Swap DRC works by switching display buffers between the TV screen and the gamepad screen with a press of a button activation. This app also includes the TCPGecko and Cafiine installers for the other mediums of modding. The gamepad sensor bar can also switch on when the TV display is switched to the gamepad screen, so playing with wiimotes with just the gamepad is very possible.
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 display is on the GamePad screen, so playing with Wiimotes with just the GamePad is possible.

Note that this mod has no audio swapping support, thus use headphones to listen to the audio from your gamepad if your game requires it.

# FAQ

### 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 use of Splathax that let's you modify gears in your inventory in Splatoon.
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.

Caffine is another mod that lets you replace modified game files that you'd like 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, Caffine 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.
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.

### Can I get you banned playing online with Swap DRC in any game?

Swapping displays doesn't modify the games directly but through the Cafe OS instead. Therefore it's 100% safe.
However you can still get banned with TCPGecko and/or Caffine mods if you don't use them properly.
