Homebrew Official Retroarch WiiU (wip.)

[ploggy]

Where do you get this core ? The enhancement are really recent, I'm on 1.14.1
I'll give it a try. I've not much hope, if your setup is ok with the retroarch serveurs one...

https://easyupload.io/qaczlw Here. This is probably newer than whats in the retroarch server.

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

I get this .I don't know if it's better or worse. One of the misses is the lack of virtual keyboard

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

Yes that emulator, man it ran incredibly on my crappy old laptop, I didn’t know it’s closed source I really hope it becomes open source and we see it, still interested in that Jaguar core you mentioned for Wii U, though.

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

It’s not on retroarch but EKA2L1 is open source and has both a PC and an Android version and runs incredibly on my phone.

Edit: is there a core for VMU? I know it’s not on high demand but I miss the days of playing with the Tiny Chao Adventure on my VMU.

Done, added PicoDrive and all its compatible consoles.

Idk if it’s worth mentioning but GensPlus core also supports SG-1000 games, I just tested again to be 100% sure.

Ha, that's actually the same as what I get, so its not just me.. Thanks for testing, the Core is still getting updates daily so there's a chance that this will still get fixed up. I noticed the onscreen keyboard doesn't work too I'll have to mention that.

It's closed source but the dev has expressed interest in making it open source, the issue is from what I can see is the dev has deals in place with the game publisher so its not known if it can be made open source yet.

There actually is a VMU Core in Retroarch but not for the WiiU for some reason? I thought it already was part of WiiU RA.. guess not

You welcome, that's good news ! MT32 emulation can be the proof of an overhaul

@sonictopfan Here's the VMU Core for WiiU... its a little buggy and may crash but its something to play with

 

[jul16ares]

Does anybody achieve to run a netplay game on RA WiiU ?

Edit : now it just crash when trying to entering a game v1.14.1 with lan adapter. Before it was not on v1.12.1 if I remember right

I have a doubt, why use the Wii U Retro Ultimate, if have is a current and official retroarch version for Wii U on the retroarch website. What's the difference ?

 

[ploggy]

@jul16ares A new version of the ScummvM Core for you to test. You should now be able to load games from .scummvm file and you should be able to add your game from the ScummVM UI when you Start Core

Ploggy: Will this be added in the futur when we download the core via retroarch?

Yes, it should be on the buildbot in a few days. but if you want to mess with it now just manually copy it over.

For the arcades stuff build, rest is way outdated now, and too much bloatware for me, but work as is. It's a fun base, you can update : Update Retroarch, Change all playlists format (plain text to json) RetroArch Playlist Editor, and add your console/micro collections and your good to go. May the force be with you

 

[mrmagicm]

Thx, I'll wait ^^
What I am waiting for, is a better core for vectrex, if you have a look, the core is bad, compare it to ARGON (android) to understand really what a Vectrex is ^^

Not much we can do about that we only have that one Vecterx Core, you can ask for an ARGON port to Retroarch on the discord if its open source.

 

[mrmagicm]

How to you do that on the discord? Do I have to have an account to do that?

 

[ploggy]

Yes, you need to make an account then use this invite link: https://discord.gg/ZGNETHGC
Explain whats wrong with the current Core and what you would like to be added to it.

 

[mrmagicm]

Thx.....A lot! I'm not a discord user
What does it bring you "more" than GBATEMP?? Or is it just a "clone"?

 

[ploggy]

Its the Retroarch official discord Channel, its where you can get direct help with Retroarch for all Platforms and its where the Retroarch devs hang out.

Just read the Rules first and be nice

Just curious I believe I seen a couple pages back the wiiu netplay doesn’t seem to work or am I doing something wrong right now, so I went back to my wiiu recently and started net play to see if it connects it did, the core I used was quicknes beta 1.0 as you can see it’s been a good amount of time since I last used netplay on Wiiu. I updated all my cores and now, it just crashes on any core when I select netplay. I’m hoping I’m doing something wrong because at this point I only now have two devices that have retroarch. Just decided to use my wiiu again because I didn’t have access at the moment to my other devices they were being used. My error photo doesn’t seem to get posted.

Try deleting you retroarch.cfg then try again.
