Apparently NeoPop never worked from what others said. I'd love the core to be able to play the Capcom vs SNK card game.
Yes since day one of retroarch on wiiu it has been broken sadly. The Neogeo Pocket has a number of great games just waiting to be played on wiiu hopefully one day it will be fixed

I think I know what is causing the error 160, it happened to me at least everytime I set the Wii U pro as the main controller (player 1), and player 2 is not changed to other controller than Wii U pro, I guess the same happen if p1 and p2 are both assigned to the gamepad.

I got blueMSX to compile but Whovian wasn't available to test it again; wondering if someone can give it a shot for me? RPX/ELF. Don't forget that you need the files under /system.

I'll make one big buildbot PR once I'm happy I've done enough cores.

Also @aliaspider I took a quick look at Hatari and it seems to have an unusual Makefile compared to the other libretro ones I've seen. Should I try and work with what's there; or is it better to merge in a more standard one from another core?

I'll try it out and get back to you, it will take a bit though.

I never fiddled with the controllers so I dunno. I also noticed it only happens with the retroarch rpx, using any others work fine for me, which is odd. I can use any and reload cores and use all playlists fine, but try to load the retroarch main rpx it happens.

Hey QuarkTheAwesome what about dosbox, as a donator, it was on the top of the list
I'm getting there, just depends on how easy the problem looks and how close each core is to the top of the repository list on the libretro account. It takes a surprisingly long time to find the cores on GitHub.

(got an exam now, won't be on for a couple hours)

just work with what is there, it is generally better to keep changes to the minimum, not all cores use the same Makefile template, so for some you need specialized solutions.

with that said, the Hatari makefile is pretty much standard, what did you find unusual about it ? ah if it is the lack of the STATIC_LINKING option, feel free to add it and remove the duplicate stuff.
