Homebrew Official Retroarch WiiU (wip.)

[cucholix]

just add your game in libretro scummvm ,
look at the scummvm.ini generated in RA system directory and copy it in sd:/retroarch/cores/system/
and change the path to locate the place where reside your game in sdcard.
you should endup with something like this:

[scummvm]
lastselectedgame=kyra1-fr
gui_browser_show_hidden=false
browser_lastpath=sd:/roms/scummvm/tentacle
mute=false
versioninfo=1.9.0

[lure-fr]
platform=pc
gameid=lure
description=Lure of the Temptress (DOS/French)
language=fr
path=sd:/roms/scummvm/lure
guioptions=sndNoSpeech lang_French

My crappy PC doesn't load RA PC, I was using scummvm for windows :c

 

[rioray]

Ok, how should I edit it to add Sam and Max?

don't you have the scummvm.ini in \Users\username\AppData\Roaming\ScummVM\scummvm.ini ?

Found it, thanks
Works great, launched it from playlist, is there anyway to it boot the game directly instead ScummVM menu then start the game?

You have to create an file like samandmax.scummvm inside the game folder (name of your choice but with scummvm extension) and inside just put the gameid.
ex for day of tentacle -> a dotentacle.scummvm inside tentacle folder with just the word "tentacle" inside.
the load the scummvm file.

Sweet, works, thanks again

Sorry , I mean file generated by scummvm libretro , in system directory.

As you are messing around with the scummvm core right now I've got a very special "issue".
I'm using an external HDD for RetroArch which contains:

• roms
• playlists for each hostsystem (in subfolders like "Wii U", "Linux", "Android")
• savegames/savestates
• thumbnails
• cheats
  and
  
• system folder containing all the BIOS files

So I just have to install RetroArch anywhere, plug the HDD and point the directories to it to continue my savegames where I left.

The reason I'm writing this is, if the scummvm.ini has to be in system directory but has host system related paths (for example to use it on Wii U) I can only use ScummVM on one host system at a time.

Is there a setting or can there be added an option to manually put in a path to where that ini file is located?

For playlists I have for example:
HDD:\retroarch\playlists\Wii U\Nintendo - Nintendo Entertainment System
HDD:\retroarch\playlists\Windows\Nintendo - Nintendo Entertainment System
HDD:\retroarch\playlists\Android\Nintendo - Nintendo Entertainment System
HDD:\retroarch\playlists\Linux\Nintendo - Nintendo Entertainment System

Each playlist for each host system has adjusted paths to roms and cores while the system directory is universal for everything and having a file with host system related stuff in there sucks.

I hope you know what I'm trying to tell/ask you.

 

[rioray]

yes it can be tricky ,

but for scummvm I think you can just create a game.scummvm file in the game folder without have to touch/tweak the retroarch/cores/system/scummvm.ini.
at least it work on PC.

for other cores, that is another story ,
I bet the best option is to create multiple system directory for all the arch you use and set in retroarch.cfg system_directory = to point the location of desired one.
for wiiu system_directory = "sd:/retroarch/cores/system" ou usb:/
for linux system_directory = "~/somwhere/sysdir"
....

@rioray regards the touch input on ScummVM it seems the touch doesn't match the cursor, but it still moves accordingly.

Yes need to refine this. I just scale it with the core screen size. (not taking care of 4/3 )and maybe I’m wrong with scaling

Also for the record ,I removed my scummvm.ini in system folder and just use gameID.scummvm in game folder to load game and it load fine ,
so no need to tweak with scummvm.ini
just create a game.scummvm containing the gameID inside. look at here http://scummvm.org/compatibility to get the gameID (game short name).

Well; uh, let me get that fixed D:

@rioray I also need to change the scaling to be between -0x7fff and 0x7fff; yeah?

EDIT: PR'd! Now we just wait on the wheels of open-source bureaucracy to turn.

 

[cucholix]

@QuarkTheAwesome @rioray the PR was merged

Can anyone help me get music for Doom on Retroarch Wii U?

I d/led the original music files, put them in the same folders as the .wads, and renamed them to
mus_e1m1.mp3 etc

Music wont play though, just SFX.

I have UDoom.wad, doom2.wad, plutonia.wad in the same WAD folder, will that affect it at all?

edit: also doom.wad

I removed any tags from the Mp3 but no joy :{

Mp3 should be e1m1.mp3, etc, without the mus_ part

 

[ploggy]

Wow, Thanks @rioray and @QuarkTheAwesome for getting the touch support done.
Does this work in the GUI too? or is it just for the the Cores?

ah, okay thank you, will try (:

edit: works like
a charm thanks @

I could only get it in certain cores. Support for the pointer device is super limited at the moment; hopefully that'll change soon.

I hope so, Touch controls in the GUI could convince me to switch from the XMB to Material UI

Great job , The press state report nicely now !
and the value is clamp from -0x7FFF to 0x7FFF which is great as it conform to the norm!

But (yes I have a but) it seem the new system based on the video_driver_get_viewport_info
have some counterpart .
it seem not all the physical screen respond to touch .
it make sense if the viewport is lower of the physical screen but it also seem to be clamp to the left top corner.
I 'm sure that your code is good scaleTP(vp.x, vp.x + vp.width, -0x7fff, 0x7fff, cal.x);

but in core side , unfortunately I can't guess (I presume)
the viewport x/y then I can only deal with core screenx/screeny and [-0x7FFF,0x7FFF].
and then [-0x7FFF,-0x7FFF] always mean the left corner for me
I don't know how handle this properly.

Can anyone help me to mod RA tex_shader.c to add an uniformVar ?

Oh I forgot about this Fucking Shader!

I finally manage to get
(GX2UniformVar){ "unf_blur_texture_direction", GX2_VAR_TYPE_VEC3, 1, blurLocation, 0xffffffff });
(GX2UniformVar){ "unf_color_intensity", GX2_VAR_TYPE_VEC4, 1, colorIntensityLocation, 0xffffffff });
from the pixel shader of the texture2Dshader https://github.com/Maschell/libgui/blob/master/source/video/shaders/Texture2DShader.cpp
to be working with RetroArch.

Then I can finally have the Overlay Alpha working

Do you think ScummVM on RA can ever emulate the Roland MT-32? Monkey Island sounds amazing with it.

The touchscreen feature works great with Indi Atlantis , the cursor gets a little off once you get far from the screen center but you get used eventually, the ZL/L placement is pretty comfortable for mouse buttons too!

By the way I'm testing Lands of Lore: The Thrones of Chaos and an error message appears saying that the kira.dat file is missing or corrupted, I guess it's built in the engine?
