OK, I really run into a cascade of problems today with Retroarch, so I try to get into the details.
I'm on 5.5.1 CBHC 1.6. Connected are a HDD via usb + a Wii U Stealth hidden Thumbdrive. I updated the homebrew apps to their latest version (today, October 15) as well as Retroarch and the cores. I installed the Retroarch Channel using WUP installer GX 2. I have set up everything according to the tutorial on this Thread's page 1.
I have created four playlists, two for SNES, one for NES and one for GBA.
I got everything working, a red wallpaper and the pretty GUI, all that worked. I launched two SNES titles, one NES title and lastly one GBA title. I then went back to the home menu, played something else, a vwii injected title and a GC title, then I tried relaunching RetrArch via the channel. I then got a "There's a problem with the system memory... error message." which I googled and found this thread:
https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/4739 . I then tried to launch retro arch via the hbl, first attempt I got the same error message again, second I got into retro arch but without GUI. I klicked right to see what happened to the playlist, but nothing moved, the screen froze. I then turned the console off, relaunched hbl and launched snes9x directly. I booted into the pretty UI, and updated assets. During that update the console just turned off - no message, nothing. Just turned off. I turned it back on and tired tot update stuff via the homebrew appstore - Wii U didn't have any connection to the internet. Strange! I removed CMOS battery and internet works again. I went to hb appstore and tried to download more cores. But when I click on GET nothing happens. I put my micro SD card into the pc to check it for errors, "The disk is write protected" - but it's a micro SD card, without a slider for protection!
Now, did I mess something up really bad? I know people have reported the System memory error message for retro arch. I would like to continue setting it up but I'm a little scared now since I suspect in the process it my 64 gig Transcend sd card got killed. and I don't know if that's at all health for the wii u itself.
any help is very much appreciated!
