Homebrew Official Retroarch WiiU (wip.)

[ShadowOne333]

No hiccups, tried with OGG files.

I think I know why I am getting crackling noises with the sound and you don't.
What Class No. is your SD card?
I think the read/write speed of the SD card might have something to do with that.

It's a micro sd xc class 10.

It's a micro sd xc class 10.

That explains it.
Mine I think is a Class 4 SDHC card, so perhaps the read/write speed does have something to do with the crackling sound on the music.
Thanks for the info!

What resolution are you using, 320x240 here.

 

[ShadowOne333]

What resolution are you using, 320x240 here.

I'm not sure. XD
I didn't check the resolution.
I will try to check it once I get home, perhaps that could help as well.

Load the game and on quick menu go to options.

I'll check that, thanks!

Try to delete retroarch.cfg file, happened to me too.

I did... but then it came back.

Is it possible to get PCSX to compile for the WiiU? I know its an older core and hasn't been updated for 2 years but would it be possible to compile it?

Wouldn't that still need a dynarec? I don't think it would run very well, no?

I'm not sure. Iv'e heard it could be a better candidate and possibly run alot faster than mednafen runs atm.

I don't know who would be willing to port it over atm.

the core already exists in retroarch, it wouldn't have to be ported just compiled for wiiu?

It already has a Wii target in the makefile:

# Nintendo Wii
else ifeq ($(platform), wii)
TARGET := libretro_$(TARGET_NAME)_wii.a
CC = $(DEVKITPPC)/bin/powerpc-eabi-gcc$(EXE_EXT)
AR = $(DEVKITPPC)/bin/powerpc-eabi-ar$(EXE_EXT)
CFLAGS += -DGEKKO -DHW_RVL -mrvl -mcpu=750 -meabi -mhard-float -DBLARGG_BIG_ENDIAN=1 -D__ppc__

So yes, it should be possible as this shows that it already is running under PPC architecture.
All that would be needed should be to add the proper flags I believe, although I'm not sure if that one would require more stuff to it.
@QuarkTheAwesome might know better about this than me for sure xD

I don't know to be honest, maybe ask @QuarkTheAwesome ?

The 360 version PCSX interpreter ran at 25-30fps and the 360 is slower hardware.

Indeed, but again, he'd be the one to know if he or someone can compile it.

Im hoping @rioray could look into it too. 25-30 fps would be alot better than the 10-15fps we're getting atm..

So what then would happen to the PPC/dynarec bounty?

 

[ploggy]

So what then would happen to the PPC/dynarec bounty?

it would still be there. OR if the PCSX core takes off the Dynarec could be switched to the PCSX?
The end goal is 100% ps1 emulation on wiiu?
