Edit: Fixed my issue by deleting the config file. Now I feel like a idiot for not trying something so basic lol. I think the issue is that it was using FCEUMM to load Retroarch with but I deleted that somewhere in the process (the new version of Retroarch doesn't even seem to include it, and I've been using Nestopia lately anyway).

My Retroarch channel forwarder seems to have stopped working even if I re-install it. Using it just kicks me back to the Wii U menu. It started when I put a new version of Retroarch on my SD Card and even going back to the old version I was using before (luckily I backed up my SD Card recently) and trying a different SD Card doesn't fix anything. I can still access it through the Homebrew Launcher. There was a big mess that led me to putting a new version of Retroarch on my SD Card in the first place (Online Updater screwed up my Retroarch and even the SD Card itself until I reformatted it) but considering the Channel Forwarder was still working even on the screwed up version, I'm not sure it played a role.

I'm using Haxchi.

Yep I don't trust online updater yet in wiiu, and disable save config.cfg on exit, just manually saving, everything is done manually, and it's lots of works but run like a charm on last version

huh, i knew the ZX core had issues when selecting inputs but didnt know it happened on Amiga too?

What options do you need to change on the Amiga core to trigger a crash?
Does it happen on both the Amiga cores? PUAE and PUAE 2021?

Hi @ploggy

I've not been able to put together details about the Amiga cores. I need to clean up the .opt, remap and overrides associated with the PUAE cores,

But on the Speccy I get this error screen when I select a different input other than Retropad.

Thanks!

That's a clean install with no .opt, remap or special Fuse override files.

Yes, this issue has been reported multiple times. You can add to this issue here if you want...

I agree! I still have my original C64, while I did try speccy back in the day I always preferred the C64 :D
I wish i still had mine! My friends had speccys (love that term) and tho they're great machines (legendary!) I always felt the gfx was it's absolute major weakness in comparison. Never ever said it but always felt.. Yeah... This looks much better on my compooper! :lol:

Opening post lists supported cores but 32X is not listed despite it being supported via PicoDrive, I wonder are there any known supported cores that aren’t listed, Sega Saturn maybe?

Atari Jaguar has a fully functional emulator now, N-Gage does too, maybe they can be included?

No one here has control over the OP, perhaps Quarky, cant remember.. but it's just an oversight 32X should be on that list..
Sadly no missing Saturn, Dreamcast or N64 Core from the list. :P

The Atari Jaguar Core runs awfully on WiiU.. believe me I've tried lol unless you mean the new standalone Atari Jaguar Emulator?
BigPEmu? That's still closed source iirc, but it is amazing from what I've seen. It's possible it will eventually go open source according to the dev and if that happens I imagine it will quickly become a RA Core THEN we may see it on WiiU :D

N-Gage? I'm not familiar with a N-Gage Core on Retroarch.

I think I can edit the OP, what do you want me to add/remove/edit?

Doesnt look like its a Core for Retroarch :/ I'm hoping for a BBC Micro Core :D





There's been alot of work on ScummVM recently, looks like a big overhaul. I've tested out the latest version of the Core. The good news is they fixed the long standing choose directory DSI issue! but so far I haven't got any game to boot, either by loading a .scummvm file, (Blackscreen/DSI Error) adding a game manually through the ScummVM ui or by directly loading a games exe. (DSI Error)
If anyone here has more experience with ScummVM want to give it a try, just incase I'm being a idiot and doing something wrong.

If you have any luck loading ANY game please add it here:
https://github.com/libretro/scummvm/issues/8

The latest ScummvM Core - https://easyupload.io/qaczlw
Post automatically merged:

Done, added PicoDrive and all its compatible consoles.
Thank you very much, hopefully there's some new cores to add to the list ;)

Yes ScummVM on RA WiiU works somewhat, not brilliant the libretro core is unofficial.
ScummVM-Wii in the other hand works so much flawlessly : Some games don't struggles e.g broken sword, diskworld 1... MT32 emulation works... Last releases evailable etc. Compete is hard between the two, so maybe ScummVM dev team had done a choice here.
But hey it's cool to have some nice peaces of software directly available with single entry, thumbs, and background under RA. And also have the WiiU gamepad facilities.

You've got a game to load on the Core I posted?

  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    @BigOnYa, Well, in that thread they say it's pretty much safe to manage save files back and forth to consoles as long as you don't go online with cheats activated or with a pirate game.
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    I own every of my games legit with their own cartridges
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    also, I'm not planning to use any cheats, etc, just continue the normal gameplay on the emulator
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It only gives a internet settings option then it spazes out
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @ATEMVEGETA if you use save from other switch you may be ok, but using a save from emulator to switch will prob get you banned
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Under ipv4/6
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    The save file will be created and started normally on the Switch's OFW with a legit game. Then that save file will be transfered to the emulator and continue the gameplay there. Then send it back to the console.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    I feel like I need to touch @Sicklyboy rack to make it work at this point
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    The save file(s) would never be created first in an emulator
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    Do you think continuing the story on the emulator would flag the save file as illegal? (Again no cheats, etc will take place, only normal story of the game progress)
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But still using the save on a emulator, then back to switch is shady
    +2
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    Yea, that's the only thing I want to clarify actually. If someone has tried it with no problems.
    +1
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    If using the save on the emulator flags the save file. :/
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    Again, "using" I mean normal gameplay not modify it with other means like pokehex, etc
  • A @ ATEMVEGETA:
    @BigOnYa, Can you help me clarify this thing somehow? Do you know someone that may know or have tried it?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Just play it on the emulation at home and portable use the normal save, I wouldn't risk anything if online is important to you

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    My psychiatrist tried to help me once said it was mine 9 months later

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Just ask in the forums if anybody has done it, I don't know of anybody who has, or would risk it.
