Homebrew Official Retroarch WiiU (wip.)

[ploggy]

Hey, where/how do I get the Retroarch version that is compatible with Aroma?
Have been seeing folks talk about it here but did not find it on reddit or any YT guide videos, I know they are not the best as they are quickly outdate, but I really wanted some directions, hope someone from here could point out, thanks for listening.

There's a link to the Retroarch Aroma WIP build in my signature (the Green link)
Download and extract it to your SD card, then the Retroarch icon should appear in the WiiU Menu.

I'm having lots of audio popping while trying it, is there a way to help with that?
EDIT: Disabling V-sync seems to work well enough
Now I just need to know why the voices are so high pitched!

Following ploggy's instructions I was able to fix the audio pitch issue.

- Load PSX Core
- Go to Audio Settings
- Change Audio Driver to Ax Pro
- Set sample rate to 44000 (This one has to be done every time you load the PSX core).

Why won't it save?

Why won't it save?

Other cores will reset the value to 48khz

 

[devlman127]

Right
I remember there being a core-specific config setting in there so I'll look into it

I am a noob to GBA temp so finding old messages here is still pretty hard, but thanks a lot for pointing it out.

why not save the settings as core overrides?

 

[devlman127]

why not save the settings as core overrides?

Right, that must be what I was thinking of in my last post
Tomorrow I'll try it out

 

[ploggy]

Right, Core override will save the Audio settings
For those that don't know...

Once ingame:
Open Quick Menu.
Overrides.
Save Core Overrrides.
This should save you having it re-adjust your Audio Settings

Make sure that in your retroarch.cfg you have the following key like this: assets_directory = "fs:/vol/content/assets". This will speed up the loading from WiiU menu when starting retroarch.wuhb (84 MB, in sd:/wiiu/apps)

In Ploggy sig retroarch.wuhb archive is 7,4MO may I miss something ?

Thanks for charing you ra config file. What is your tree under fs:/vol/external01/romsaves/ ?

 

[lordelan]

That set should be fine

Those have been added to the WIP pack.. (Green) Link in my sig

Can you try to compile the openLara core for Wii U?

According to this GitHub issue this didn't work in the past:
https://github.com/XProger/OpenLara/issues/15

Oh and Mr.Boom by any chance?
Sorry, that's just me being greedy. ^^

Open lara is a no go iirc, it would need some WiiU specific work to get running.. More than just a few Makefile tweaks anyway
Done MrBoom tho

Try it? usually fixes the weird issues

my bad. i have two retroarch.wuhb files copied into diferent directory
deleted one solved it

im having trouble using controller other than gamepad, i tested using ps3 & switch controller with bloopair
i already set wii u pro controller on port 1 & wii u gamepad on port 2

but i can only control the game using gamepad, the only button that worked on ps3 & switch controller is the home button (quick menu)
any settings that i need change ?

also if i tried to change port 3 (wii u pro controller is the default), retroarch hangs


sorry for the blurry photo

Hmm, not sure. My ps3 controller and switch pro controller are working fine here (through Bloopair) ? Are they official controllers or 3rd party?
You can try updating your controller profiles through the online updater?
Or you can try going into Settings>Input>Port 2 and 3 and try to map the controller buttons manually for each controller?

Dunno about the port 3 hang. Never needed to map 3 controllers at a time lol

Hey friend, I was thinking here and if compiled Mame 2003 Plus with AX audio support, because it's faster, I believe it would improve games like Killer Instinct 1 and 2, which have audio getting stuck when using the default clock, but it's good with 25% or 30% however the game reads like slowly
I just stopped to think about it now lol

in the aroma retroarch the gamepad is used as port 1 and 2 and the pro control/or control paired by bloopai is read as port 3, this also only occurs in the aroma version, however, just go to input and change the gamepad on port 2 to the control you use that is paired after loading the game go to the retroarch menu with the game open and then you go to input and on port 3 put it to be used as a remap for port 2 which allows you to configure what each control will be 1 2 or 3 next Put it to save this configuration to the list so every time you go to that list everything will be configured according to what you did, unlike the aroma retroarch that works in the right order because it doesn't read the gamepad on two ports like the aroma does, however It's easy to solve.
