wiiflow can run retroarch as plugin.

but for me, things gets much more complicated. Some time ago, CPS1 and CPS2 cores worked via wiiflow fine (RA 0.9.9, roms is fine, works thru RA GUI). But now it gets DSI error. :/
same with mame2000 (which was 1.0.0.2). Standart FBA and NeoGeo works.

I can't run newer RA FBA cores (tried 1.3.6, and 1.7.1), just reset. Also i can't run mame2000 core (DSI error)

But new mame2003 cores works (which based on 1.7.1)! My brains is fkd up

I had some headaches as well with retroarch on wiiflow (IMHO best GUI ever). But now everything works perfect.
I'm using only plugins based on RA 1.0.0.2. so that there are no conflicts between their cfg files. Also make sure you're using the proper rom sets

Maybe somebody know how to config later versions of ra in wiiflow to run games from usb?
If games on sd - ra plugin works fine, but when roms on usb it crash or resets..

For some reason only 0.9.9 version works fine as wiiflow plugin

I wonder why they are release a new version if the new version break previous features ? new version supposed to mean "improvements" lol

I tested many different versions of RA and never had any problems running games from usb. Did you check if you have the correct paths on your .ini files in the plungin folder? Other than that, another thing that come to my mind is that maybe you have Wiiflow on both Sd and usb, try to remove your sd card and be sure to have everything on usb.

@Tetsuo Shima would you mind throwing up one of your ini files in you wiiflow/plugins directory as an example? The console roms are much easier than the arcade roms to get working, simply because there's only one "core" and its already included in the console emulator. MAME/FinalBurn Alpha/RetroArch are a bit more complicated, and I've found no tutorial on properly setting them up so they run from wiiflow, so if you wouldn't mind, let us know what your plugin.ini files look like.

Sure, I will do it in the next days, when I'll come back from summer vacation.
