Homebrew Official Retroarch WiiU (wip.)

You can use sysnand to install unsigned titles

I can confirm it works having installed Super Mario Bros NES and Kirby return to dreamland with this to sysnand

So if we take this in consideration, we could be able to (someday) just launch a contenthax game exploit (for example haxchi or n64 contenthax) and bam unsigned home menu. That would give us some sort of pastacfw on WiiU

N64 hack is now a thing too?
I thought only DS VC's were vulnerable at the moment.

Exactly. Well....
The only thing is wouldn't the iosu always try to autoboot the app? You are editing system.xml and that is telling the iosu to always boot that app. Booting that app will result in a you booting to whatever system.xml says to boot. Then you have a paradox where you wii u is always trying to boot it self but can't.

Well if this comes at the price of manually launching the app, that would give us more liberty. Much like the mset exploit back in the days

Ps: should we continue this chat in the contenthax thread? It's about retroarch here, therefore, offtopic

Once you boot the game(s), touch the gamepad's screen and then go to the option which says "Controls".
From there, go all the way down and you will see something like "Button A: A" or something.
Change the B button to Y and the A button to B, that's how I have it right now for all consoles actually, except Snes.

Ok, i'm testing a bit over here. I noticed a few things:

- Tyrquake default control layout is weird as fuck

- Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 chugs on the Midway core (it stopped for a solid second a few times

- Neo Geo core refuses to load Metal Slug X, Wind Jammers and Magical Drop 2. SNK vs CAPCOM Chaos loads A-OK

So far there's nothing else i noticed that isn't noted here

Also neo geo core refuses to load kof 98, and prboom refuses to load my doom wad


Apart from that, Can I use x32 roms in the genesis core?

I believe Genesis Plus GX doesn't have 32x support, only up to CD.
What problem do you have with doom.wad?

 

[xtreemsurf]

Thanks! I was wondering this, too...

Question...since every core shares a single CFG file, will this change the buttons on all cores?

Put the official prboom wad (literally prboom.wad) in the samd folder the Doom wad is

That's not really SysNAND though, as it still requires the fw.img and RedNAND launcher, no? I hope for the day we can install HBL and RetroArch without having to use this method.

It is sysnand patched.
CFW booter was originally only for sysnand because rednand hadn't been made

 

[geheim]

Ehhh, that's not sysNAND.
If you use CFW Booter and a fw.img, that's redNAND, heck even the steps mentions it:

With the fw.img of FIX94's fork to hack vWii it IS sysNAND

Its not, anything you do to it doesnt save to sysNAND. Gimme a few minutes, ill find a better explanation.

Getting back to topic, i just realized that we already have a PSX emulator for Wii/vWii

Question for @LibretroRetroArc and @aliaspider : Does it have dynarec? If so, would it be possible to implement it on PCSX-R?

Asking from an absolute lack of knowledge, no intention to rush either, it just crossed my mind while dining.

Gave a good go to SFIIITS today. I already loved the gamepad but it made me fall in love with it even deeper. Also the game at 1080p is just gorgeous in all its pixelated glory.

They did discuss this in brief on the first few pages, they would have to port a PPC dynarec core from scratch, and will take a fair bit of time due to its complexity. I'll try to find that post if I can.

Edit: Found it

It will take a while.

 

[ItsKipz]

Quick question, do you think there are plans to add the XMB menu into this port of retroarch?

No need to look for it, i'll do it later. Thanks

It was a doubt that crossed my mind for a moment. In any case, they're doing god's work right now, i don't want to rush nor press them.

Wasn't there a experimental build of a PSX emulator for RetroArch on the Wii?
I believe it was mednafen_psx_libretro_wii.dol or something like that.
It was the one form here:
