I´ll be, can't believe how well fba and mame games run, pure performance!
Agreed. Everything works pretty fine, I actually don't expect anything more except just the library and thumbnail system, maybe just saving settings for each core separately, but performance speaking everything's already pretty smooth :)

Yeah other cores too, sure, but I guess it's a matter of priority, the other ones will take more time since probably less people are working on it !

Ok, here's an installable channel for snes9x to test out, this is not an official release, because I am still not happy with it, but it at least works - http://www.mediafire.com/file/g82gg0kdg3edlgd/SNES9X-Libretro.zip

Let me know what you think, and if this will be good enough. Also, if anyone wants to help make splash screens and icon for the system menu, let me know. I'll do more of the cores if people like this.
It Works! :) I like the fact when you exit the Core it goes to another screen to exit, but once you exit to the WiiU menu you cant start the channel again unless you reboot the Console. Is that what your not happy with for now?
Can that be fixed down the road? Overall tho I think this is a good stop gap release until you get the PROCUI thing implemented into Retroarch :)
Thanks Brienj mate :)

Yeah, I just discovered this bug, and fixed it. I can't believe I forgot to make it not do that in the first place, sorry. I've uploaded the fix to the same URL - http://www.mediafire.com/file/g82gg0kdg3edlgd/SNES9X-Libretro.zip

Just clear your cache and re-download the zip file. Sorry about that.

BTW, this is a small change, so the install files are not an update, which means you will have to delete the old installation before you re-install it. Also, if you ever start it up and the emulator doesn't start, just exit and re-start it, and it should be ok again.

Hope for a standalone app soon :3

Yes not sure what the problem is my files worked fine in 1.3.6 then I updated once 1.4 came out but only just tried it out today and now it does not load and stupidly I never backed up my working 1.3.6 version thus why I was hoping someone could supply me with a 1.3.6 version lol
I just tried loading Quake on 1.4.0b and sadly doesn't work.
All I get is a quick black flash and then back to the menu.
Kind of what happened when you have no BIOS files in the correct directory I believe.

What I released basically is, you don't even need snes9x-libretro on your SD card. Did you try it?

Of course you would need the ROM files on your SD card or USB drive though. Speaking of which, I'm going to look into maybe seeing if we can store ROMs on the NAND too, then you wouldn't need any external media at all, although it's much easier to keep the ROMs and the configs on a SD card or USB drive.

Just reinstalled the Channel with the new changes and man, it's really starting to take shape now. :) I exited and started multiple times to be sure and everything is working fine. You can start making the other Channels if you want :)
(no pressure tho) ;) Is there any chance you could use/borrow/steal j/k @xtheman166 artwork to use with you Channels? and instead of having "libretro Snes9x" as the title for the app just have Snes or Super Nintendo? (sorry if I'm getting ahead of myself but I think these will be pretty much done then) :)

Good job :)

That would be up to him if I used his artwork or not, but I'm really just waiting on verification that everyone really wants this and everyone is happy with the icons and splash screens before I make this release official. It will at least get us by until there is a main app made that contains all the cores. I'm waiting for an official one from Retroarch to be made with whatever they have planned.

You get my vote :)
But when it come to official channels I think it will be up to us to provide one and them put their stamp of approval on it rather than them make their own. But i could be wrong.

Oh really, I thought they had plans to make one. Ok, I'll have to look into how I make a main channel that will pick the different cores from within it. If @aliaspider has any insight on this, it would be helpful.

I'm wondering if there would be a main rpx file, and then all the cores would be rpl files, but I'm not sure about that.
