Homebrew Official Retroarch WiiU (wip.)

[ploggy]

Sure I can wait on Quark's response
And for the sticky threads, I'm not sure, I don't have the same permissions as mods have from what I know.

Ok thanks, I'll try and flag down a mod then, this thread deserves it.

Hey @ploggy I'm having no luck in getting Neo-Geo CD games to load in the Aroma version of RetroArch they all worked fine in the Tiramisu version. Is this a known issue? If not any chance you or someone else can try a few games to see if it's just an issue at my end.

Also a few of my GBA games using the mgba core no longer seem to work they get stuck loading on the screen that says WiiU in the bottom right of the screen.

Weird, I cant get the NeoGeo CD Core to boot a Game either.. It complains I haven't got any NeoGeo CD Bios set up even though they 100% are
There are no known issues yet this is all still the wild west right now when it comes to Aroma lol

What games are not working for you on MGBA? I tried Minish Cap and that loaded.


EDIT: This NeoGeo CD Core works genuinely surprised myself. I didn't think recompiling from the updated repo would work

Yes Neo-Geo CD is now working fine. Thank you for the quick fix.

As for Mgba not working for me is Final Fantasy 4/5/6 Breath of Fire/Golden Sun and a few others. Like I said they go to the white screen that has WiiU in the bottom right then stays there forever. The other GBA cores work fine though so not a big issue.

Another issue I have discovered is with FBA 2012 no matter what game I try it gives me a message about being out of memory and to please contact Nintendo or some such nonsense lol.

On a positive note the Cave Story core has never worked for me in the past but is working great in the new Aroma build.

No prob, I'm glad it worked

I've just tried each of those games and all get to the Title Screen for me? I can send you the MGBA Core I use but it should be the same as you have.
Do you have saves for each of those games? if not you could try GPSP Core that's the Core I usually use, also try grabbing a different copy of the games and try them.. Could be corrupted roms? or the start of a corrupted sd card?

Yea, I had a report about the FBA2012 Core earlier :/ I pulled it out of the Pack for now since there's a FBneo which works fine, Oh did I share the pack with FBNeo added? I'm not sure? Anyway I've update the link just incase

But I'll add just the FBNeo Core separately here so you wont have to download the full package just for that one Core

EDIT: AH! that's great about Cave Story working now. That game has been borked on WiiU for years! AND you just reminded me the that the Tyrquake Core is also working now with Aroma whereas it was broken on Tira

Hey sorry for the delay in getting back to you I fell asleep last night mid reply back lol.

So for mgba I have made the discovery of that if I set the gba bios to be used then that is when I get my issue. Turning off use bios makes every game load. I have tried using a few different downloads of the gba bios all with the same result.

Thank you for the FBneo core will need to try it out after work.

Also forgot to say yesterday the Amstrad CPC core now also works for me on Aroma. It was another coren than never seemed to work on tiramisu. Hopefully the same will happen in the future for the ZX Spectrum.

Cave story is working for me too but it crashes when trying to save, do you have the same issue?

 

[ploggy]

OK here's a UNAI PcsxRearmed Aroma Core with Vrdas AXPro Audio Driver! nice and speedy

Remember with this AXPro Core you need to... Load Core, switch the Audio Driver to AXPro and change the Sample Rate to 44k then boot your game

@ploggy I’ve been meaning to ask.
Is there anything that can be done about Snes9x core speed? In particular the standard core that handles MSU-1 + Custom FMV support.

The reason I ask is because if you optimize the MSU-1 audio track quality to “Highest” it drops the fps on almost every game and makes the sound choppy. Also, custom FMV’s patched into the games just lag every time. Is anybody working on fixing this?

Ha I just Tried my Ducktales MSU-1 + FMV hack on the Aroma Snes9x + AXpro Core and it no longer lags!!


Give this Core a try on Aroma RA and see if your game is still lagging
Make sure you load Core, switch the Audio Driver to AXPro and change the sample rate to 32k before loading your game.

I have great performance with the aroma retroarch build. I can even use most of the filters without slowdown. Its a great step up from the Tiramisu Retroarch

That is amazing Ploggy. I will have to finally switch over to Aroma this weekend.

Does Aroma have any incompatibility at the homebrew level still?

Hey there. Any chance of the gameboy core "sameboy" compiled with the new ax pro driver? tiramisu or aroma flavor its fine. Thanks in advanced and keep up the good work!

I'm sure there's a few HB that's still incompatible but now that RA is compatible I'm sold.. Aroma all the way!!!

I wonder if we can use a wiimote as an input device on this. Was thinking time crisis MAME. All the threads I could find are several years old or are about using DolphinBar on PC
