@pwsincd don't know if this was brought to your attention already, but if not.

Thanks...I was wondering the same thing. Have you tried these other versions out?

 

[the_randomizer]

Dude, don't post that here.

Edit: On another note, this is getting to be pretty cool

They shouldn't post that crap anywhere. That is NSFW which is not allowed on gbatemp

I know, he's being a troll/spammer, this isn't good at all to post anywhere on here.

Dude, don't post that crap in here, this isn't the EOF.

I haven't, not at home at the moment but will try them out as soon as I get home.
Have you tried them?
Which ones did Fix say were cleaned up?
Snes9x and which other one, Fceumm?

I thought it was just those two Are they on the app store now or do we need to get them individually?

Not sure if pwsincd has added them already, if not they might be up in a while.

Either way, I can place them on my SD card in the mean time

Great!
Try them out, also check this out:
https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/commits/master

Fix94's changes are in the official github, and also almost all of the latest commits have been for Wii U related cores. xD
Damn this is getting really good.

Out of that, has anyone tried out prboom and tyrquake yet?

I hope the Genesis Plus gets fixed sometime in the near future, as I want to play Genesis/Megadrive as well XD

 

[LibretroRetroArc]

OK, I made a MAME2003 Midway core.

Games run fine, there are some current frame timing issues (I think the current WiiU video driver code can't yet properly handle content that doesn't run at a fixed 60fps, like Midway games which ran at 53fps), but we'll likely sort this out in time.

Anyway, performance is not going to be a problem as we see.

NOTE: Your ROMs need to be MAME 0.78 romsets.

Waiting for precompiled MAME/FBA/CPS3 cores on wiiubru.

All in due time, one step at a time is best for this

I am waiting for the reicast core to be ported. I dream to play shenmue in my wii u with it.

That will likely require a dynarec core, which will take a bit of time.

Is Reicast for Dreamcast?
I believe that is one of the few cores which need a specific PPC Dynarec to work on PowerPC architectures (which the Wii U is).
Reicast/nullDC, Mupen64Plus and PPSSPP are the ones which require that.
I don't remember if the PlayStation core also needed a PowerPC Dynarec, I think it also does need one too.

The guys from RetroArch already said that they might give the PPC Dynarec a try to port those cores over to the Wii U, but that would require more effort. Maybe after they are done porting the majority of the cores and have them in a stable release, they might work on that afterwards.

Going to take months, this was at least the low-hanging fruit that we could get done in a few days. Please be patient regarding Mupen64/reicast/PCSX, that stuff is going to be a lot more challenging.

I know, I will wait the time it takes to do it. Thanks for you work, you make a lot of people happy with it .

What kind of feel is this?
Is this what ppl call "happyness"? *-*

 

[QuarkTheAwesome]

would 1 main .elf be possible?

I wrote a dynamic ELF loader back in the day (link) - don't remember if it's any good or not; but that'd be what's needed to get that Wii-style main elf.

Do we at least know why the Genesis Plus core is yielding a black screen on boot? I mean, just curious mostly.
