Homebrew Official Retroarch WiiU (wip.)

[mightymuffy]

Ohhhh, amazing work guys!! Just spent a good hour on the snes emu (my Mario Kart rom also works) and it's wonderful! Will certainly be trying out the rest too - thanks again, happy days!

ok i wont keep adding more info.. just keep your eyes on http://wiiubru.com/appstore/#retro : gambatte added.

This is great news! I'll keep an eye on this...hoping to test it out soon!

With Retroarch, does anyone know if there is there a way to have it remember the ROM directory? I've been using it a bit on 3DS, but haven't figured that one out. Thanks!

retroarch is all i've been waiting for c:

To temper some expectations, there are no PowerPC dynarecs for Nintendo DS, or PSP.

Cores like Mupen64plus and PCSX-R will not be a simple case of compilation to get them to work. They will likely require at least a solid month of work, and that's a conservative figure.

Everything else will arrive much sooner.

I maybe making this up but I think Ced made a dynarec for his 360 ppsspp port, I know the Emulator was never finished but could parts of that be used for the WiiU?

Greenlighted a whole bunch of cores, I invite the wiiubru guy to compile these ones -

FBAlpha 2012 CPS1
FBAlpha 2012 CPS2
FBAlpha 2012 NeoGeo
Mednafen/Beetle PC Engine Fast
Mednafen/Beetle WonderSwan
Mednafen/Beetle VirtualBoy
Mednafen/Beetle NGP
Mednafen/Beetle Lynx
Tyrquake
Prboom
Genesis Plus GX
Nestopia
81
FUSE
GW (Game & Watch)
Stella
VBA Next

Yeah I think they threw out the PowerPC dynarec again in mainline though so it would have to be backported again.

Anyway, this is all long-term, don't expect this in the next two months at least.

Prboom

Fuck yeah!

FB Alpha 2012 CPS1/CPS2 works.

Going to look into making a CPS3 core now. Hope that we're going to get good results.

I love you

So I just spent a while looking at things and making it run a little more nicely, the problem with most cores right now is that they are C++ so they would fail for now. Anyways, after doing some small cleanup here are both fceumm and snes9x2010 from the current commits:
https://mega.nz/#!w1oByA5S!IpNtybZYpu18HKFEfHkf5QuofgLZ6iwLYTkrCH5Sdo0
These 2 elfs will start up quickly, have audio working properly, on game starts there are no more random pixels before game picture or audio beeps/scratches, pausing the game and going back to the menu now works properly as well.
Overall I am shocked to see how well it already runs now and I hope more can be added soon

There was a (agonizingly slow) port of Desmume for Wii if that would help at all. It wasn't a native core but it's something

is anyone else having problems with save/load states not working? plus once you try to save state emulation slows alot. I know it's a pre-release but thought I'd bring it up

EDIT: Ok it seems save state and load DOES work but it takes a long time

Yeah it's a bit buggy, but it seems to work after a few menu open/close, for some reason. Saving state works fine, loading it might require a few attempts before it actually loads ingame.

 

[ploggy]

Yeah I think it takes like 15 sec to save and 15 sec to load for me.

 

[LibretroRetroArc]

OK, good news, I made the fbalpha 2012 CPS3 core, and it runs at fullspeed with 3rd Strike.

Takes a while for the game to load but after that it's plain sailing and the game runs great.

So the wiiubru guy can go and put that up on the store as well.
