the randomizer What are you talking about. RetroArch's website lists the Wii U several times in the download page. It also lists "Fix touchscreen mouse emulation" under Future in the Changelog. What list are you referring to?
You're right!@depaul
by removing an old (and not working anymore) WIFI connexion (SSID was changed), now Retroarch (minimalist, like yours, only Rgui, no notification, no overlays or any fancy option) boots in 6 seconds, and snes roms load almost immediately (1-2 seconds).
The point of my tests was not to prove you were wrong or I was right, but you can't say FOR SURE that everything works for everyone, because you don't know everyone else configuration (not only in Retroarch, but also in the Wii U parameters). Bad WIFI settings seem to be part of the problem (at least FOR ME), probably because the updater needs an internet connexion and uses it at launch
Ok why should we go so far?
Here is a video showing exactly my WiiU RA 1.9.0 speed I get :
-Minimalist setup : RGUI, no playlists or whatever:
Almost instant load of small roms : Genesis, SNES,
Fair time for big arcade roms : from 2s (SF2) to 13s (SFiii3n)
Cores load in about 10s.
So you can get fast loading speeds by disabling always reload core and deleting the info files?Guys, playlists are fixed!
Settings > User Interface > Show Advanced Settings > ON
Settings > Core > Always Reload Core on Run Content > OFF
I'm getting the same load speeds from Load Content, Recent/History and Playlists now (assuming the needed core was already loaded). I tested with and without the info files and it's still slower with them, so they should still be deleted.
I'm using RGUI, but there's the same speed boost for playlists in all of the other menu drivers as long as you don't have the assets or info files installed. Also as recently discussed, keep the number of RPX files in the cores folder down to a bare minimum with only what you need, and delete any invalid network connections from the Wii U network settings. That's it. I didn't need to change ANY other settings in RetroArch itself aside from the one I mentioned in my last post.So you can get fast loading speeds by disabling always reload core and deleting the info files?
What Menu GUI are you using?

You're right!
I 'broke' my wifi connection on purpose to test this and it changed the loading times dramatically in a bad way. It became about twice as slow to launch RA and twice as slow to load cores. I didn't know about this but it's probably the most important step to keep in mind if you want to minimize loading times.
So, I guess it's either having a good connection or not connection at all? Anyways the people involved in RA development should remove the need to check an internet connection at launch on RA wiiu since nobody uses the updater, and only check it when a required feature is actually used.
right that what i was suppose to saidThere has never been a PCSXrearmed Core on WiiU only BeetlePSX Core.
so is multiplayer functional online with wii u?
It works, but you need to manually setup port forwarding, because public rooms don't work on Wii U (I don't know why)
Request to convert Retroarch cores (*.RPX) to installable format into USB (or NAND).
Reason : For faster launch: currently we have to load 10MB-60MB cores from SD card which is slow compared to USB (average speed USB: about 25 MB/s vs SD Card about 4 MB/s).
This is why I'm cynical regarding the Switch hacking scene, it doesn't even have permanent CFW, so to me, it's not even worth my time.
