Deleting SD:/RetroArch will wipe all settings.

You can't use the menu?
Did you manually download the assets like explained in the first post?

Yes, I did. I had downloaded the most recent rpx folder from the link, i deleted anything inhad from retroarch, then unzipped to the root of the SD. If im missing files aside from that it can be possible. I made an empty retroarch folder on the root too.

Just my Hard Drive in the back, which i think needs to be in there, and it was always in there when it worked for all the months i played snes9x. I havent done anything with the hard drive files at all. No other devices connected. My gamepad when loading retroarch says its assigned port 0, and then pro controller port 1 after turning it on (wirelessly on both)

You should get yourself DosBox for PC (not in RetroArch on PC!) first and try to make it run there.
If it runs, copy the folder (not zipped) to your Wii U SD and run the main exe of the already installed game with "load content".
The virtual keyboard is still being worked on as far as I remember.
Or how was the state there, guys?


This should (haven't tested) be the last nightly that still had HID support:

I dunno how long this will stay online as upped it there without having a Zippyshare account but feel free to PM me if it's down.

Hello!

I've tried to do it as you advised. Installed DOSBox on the PC, mounted CD image, and then installed it inside DOSBox. Since DOS4GW doesn't work in DOSBox, I've replaced it with DOS32A, and afterwards started Little Big Adventure 2 without issues. I've copied a folder LBA2 was installed to and tried running LBA2.exe using load content. First time I've got System memory error. On the second try, it just said that C:\LBA2.dos was not found. And I guess that just an install folder is not enough, since it's about 25 MB, and the whole CD image is around 700 MB. Guess it needs files located on the image too. Is there a way to bring a virtual keyboard up in DOSBox? Guess it might work if I repeat the steps I've done on the PC.

Best regards,
Davor

Where have you got your CD from? Gog?
Instead of wasting your time on the Wii U you always should test things on PC's RetroArch first, after they worked in native DosBox.
So it appears some files of the CD are still needed after Installation.
There should be 2 solutions:
1. Look for a No CD crack where it should be written as well, what to copy over from the CD so that the crack works.
2. Put the content of the CD into a subfolder of the install destination path and install if again from there into the destination part.

Do you know what's not good? Putting pressure over developers who have a life and work for free. That's exactly what you're doing.

Stop it. Now.


Actually he is talking about a thing that has a 300 Dollar and then another 250 or so bounty. So it isn't work for free hes talking about. But you know anytime you can attack him you chose to. But you are wrong in that instance. So maybe you should apologize, just sayin'.

There are two different dynarec bounties, I thought? The whole premise of a bounty was an incentive/bonus, I'm just commenting on the fact that there hasn't been much activity, nothing more *sigh*. And as for Osakasan, I've since blocked him.

Finally got some time and installed the lastest nightly

I spent like 30 min. switching between cores while having a game running, from FBA to Sega CD. Not a single DSI error.

I already have my christmas gift :3

Also, new cores? Does Amstrad CPC and Dosbox runs nice? Also, usb Keyboard compatibility?

    I would like a Predator game "Kill Team" it takes place in the Jungle of the first movie, your team is sent to hunt the predator, using current tech drones and a trained team. Set traps use strategy to hunt and trap or kill the predator.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

    I went today and looked at a motorcycle someone was selling. I get there and the battery on it was dead, so the guy grabbed a battery charger and hooked it up. He plugged it into the wall, and the motorcycle sparked and started smoking. Come to find out the bike uses a 6 volt battery and the guy had the charger set to 12v. I said sorry to the dude and walked away. I felt bad for him tho.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Sounds like it would be an exciting ride....

    Not sure I would want something on fire between my legs
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    He ruined it basically. Sad cause it was a decent old bike. It would take more money to rewire the bike than it was worth tho.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I'm sure at minimum the starter was fried
