Homebrew Official Retroarch WiiU (wip.)

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

I was just about to ask that very question but you beat me to it lol

Right, I don't want rush anyone doing this, merely curious as FCEU, Snes9x and others were ported and work off the bat, just seems a bit strange that it doesn't boot.

It doesn't boot at all, or only when you try to start a game is that you get the black screen?

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?

Not yet, but I'm hoping to try them out tonight. I believe it is just the Super Nintendo and the Nintendo cores. I haven't seen them updated on the app store website yet, and I was having trouble finding them on the Github page. I'll just download them from the Mega link. Hoping that it fixes the slowness with loading the ROM directories...

Black screen when loading the app, can't even get to the RGUI menu. See, that's just it though, I don't know who to address this to or make it known to, you know?

They haven't been updated on the app store yet, they will be though. As for the ROM directory loading, they're still alpha, so they'll be fixed at some point. Loading the app is faster, as is the menu close/open and no boot noise is nice though.

It does not boot at all goes to a black screen and I have left it for 30 mins still black screen and redownloaded it several times always black screen. Every other core loads fine.

It may need to be recompiled I don't know. I may fill a GitHub report out.

[shutterbug2000]

Won't compile, sorry
(It's the first thing I tried lol)

I got it to compile, but it just black screens.

So, do we know why Genesis Plus is black-screening, should I go ahead file a GitHub report and let the team look into it?

Edit: Er, my bad, wrong core XD

Shutterbug was talking about DOSBox, not GenPlus Gx

Ah my bad

Having the same black screen issues on GenPlusX. The PCE and NGP cores load but I have yet to get them to load a game successfully (DSI errors) - overall Snes9x and mGBA seem to be the most consistent cores.

Tap the touchscreen of the gamepad.
If you want to exit and go back to HBL, go back to where it says Quit RetroArch and select that option.

Thanks for the update on the cleaned-up build. This is great!

Just a heads-up, added Wii U support to the buildbot, currently it has only one core but the people con the team know how to keep adding working cores as needed.

Thank you!

Here's the link for those that are interested

@pwsincd that's the link for the official builbot's builds, hopefully that helps for the Appstore.
