I agree with the fox from Dr. Wahwee's castle something to force close would probably helpful.
What ever works, works. Im waiting for the day a stable wii u retroarch will come. The better option would be no force close. If we can't locate the problem then force close would probably better, to at least make it more stable than what it currently is.Only downside is possible backlash from users, claiming it to be "inconvenient", when I think that it would help with stability.
I don't get people complain that forcing core/content close before swapping cores is inconvenient.
Doesn't make sense from a software and programming standpoint.
You need to close what is currently running to open something else, you can't just pile everything up and expect that to be ideal. It's not like you will run 2 or 3 emus at the same time to whine about forcing content close.
It should be a no brainer, memory leaks or memory usage would be greatly reduced here.
To be honest I don't think anyone would complain about force quit. It'll stop the freezing and us having to go through the slow wii u reboot process every so few games. Its a win win.I don't get people complain that forcing core/content close before swapping cores is inconvenient.

Has manually force quitting worked for you. I haven't had any freezes on my end. But I don't load many roms in one session either. Maybe someone should test loading many different roms and with many different emulators, force closing each one, to see if it crashes, and to see if implementing automatic force close will work.Right, Radius4 proposed it, or was it Twinaphex, I forget who stated it a couple of days ago. Auto-closing would be nice, and should be considered, but I don't have the right to request it, it's just gonna add stress to the developers If someone else wants to suggest it, they can, but I sure as heck won't be the one to do it.

@Tarpii Try making that "SD" lowercase, also make sure that filename on the last line exactly matches the name of the playlist itself. That second "DETECT" is also wrong, whatever program put that there is also wrong. The core path and name can use "DETECT" but that CRC field (second to last) doesn't... it should be "00000000|crc". If you want it to ask you which core to launch (something else you can try if it still doesn't work), set the path to the rpx to "DETECT" instead. And just as a sanity check maybe double check that that path to the core rpx is indeed 100% correct. Hope this helps.
Thanks so much for the advice, not sure how I ended up with that second DETECT - maybe I missed a section with playlist buddy. I will try again with your recommended changes.

It is not that it is inconvenient. It is the fact that it is a workaround, hacky patch. I do not think the developers are willing to add this into the codebase. Imagine if they started accepting such things, the whole project would go downhill. It is not only a principle of retroarch but most coding projects to actually solve roots of problems and deny such workarounds, even though in the short term they may be rewarding. Just my 0.02$ and a little explanation as to why they most likely won't do this even if it'd work.
Well most people don't even clear content before changing games or cores, which is leading to instabilities. If not, they should at least add an option that can be toggled on or off.
Yeah I won't speak on behalf of them, they know best. I too am greatly eager to see what the wiiu port holds in store for us now that it's getting quite a bit more attention
No sir it isn't.Is your sd card locked?
I asked endrift (mGBA dev) about this recently.is it possible to activate borders and gbc palettes for gameboy classic B/W games?
