Homebrew Official Retroarch WiiU (wip.)

[pedro702]

I got it to emulate the wii u game pad

you got the keyboard to work like any hid controller, that is not keyboard support.

This is a silly question, but wouldn't it have made more sense to get keyboard support working before DOSbox was up and running? Curious mostly.

afaik someone added keyboard support but it was recognized/added option when compiling dosbox?

I don't know, been looking at the GitHub repository and I see no such pull requests, still, seems kinda like an odd discrepancy.

You would think that being retroarch that keyboard support would be common place?

how?

I built an ini file for keyboard using Maschells guide for hid

Ah, there lies the rub - brienj added keyboard support via the native libraries, but @Maschell did it via his ControllerPatcher engine. I'm not sure how the two drivers interact, or whether brienj's work is even still active in the codebase. We should definitely should be doing it via brienj's driver since we get direct keyboard access; not sure what's going on right now...

Yes, keyboard for dos is a must, other than that, your rpx core works very well.

Another thing i tryed star wars dark forces and the game runs very very slowly , i mean dosbox wii played the game at like 20 fps or so how does the wiiu plays it under 2 fps? afaik dosbox has no dynarec at all.

Maybe changing cpu cycles on core options can help (pc retroarch has that options), not sure what value will work best but a too high value can cause more slowdown.

Update: On pc setting CPU cycles x10000 to 2 or 3 gives full speed, you can start trying form there.

Okay guys, I've been thinking of playing Sonic CD in Genesis Plus GX (I used to play it on my PSP using PicoDrive, and I was able to get the music working through MP3s), but how do I get the music to load in-game this time around? I'd appreciate any help I can get here.

Find the bin cue version of the game, the psp needs a correct cue file

It's that time of day again!
VICE x64: RPX/ELF

Tried stripping the ELF this time, also included a few small modifications to the code I needed to add for Dosbox (VICE needed it too, plus a little extra (getuid, getpwuid, clock_gettime)). If the HBL ELF works I'll compile Dosbox again to see if it's all fixed there. VICE itself is basically unchanged, it's all about filling gaps in libc with these cores. Let me know how it goes!

What console is the VICE core for?

What console is the VICE core for?

Commodore 64 afaik. It can be compiled to do Commodore 128 too.

 

[wicksand420]

I'll try it out, whats a good game for C64?

 

[the_randomizer]

Awesome to see more cores available for the Wii U side

Is the "All Users Control Menu" setting working for anyone?

No matter what I set it to, only the player 1 controller will control the menu.

(I'm using the 05/22 build).

 

[wicksand420]

On the RPX version i tried the ghostbusters.tap and it crashes, i'll try elf next

On the rpx version of vice it looks like the game will load for a split sec, then it throws DSI

Not for me either

 

[wicksand420]

I tried the same core C64 on my computer, it is also buggy

Hm, looks like there's some debugging to do there. Will do along with Dosbox when I get access to my Wii U.
