Homebrew Official Retroarch WiiU (wip.)

[the_randomizer]

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:

Dynarec would still need to be made from scratch, unfortunately, so it'll take a while.

Getting dsi exceptions when trying to get Mega (Sega) CD games to work with the genesis core. Seen some people have had no problems, in no real rush, but any pointers on what I'm doing wrong? Might be putting the bios in the incorrect place or have the files in the incorrect format? I still have a couple of my old Mega CD games so I can probably rip them to the correct format if needed etc.

Cheers!

(Bit late to this, but, holy hell 3rd Strike on Wii U. Awesome!)

Game & Watch with 60 fps, 1080p.
Can't get any better than that.

Yes, That sounds great, but where can I find it?

I just realized a thing. WiiU's port of retroarch is still early, and yet, has beaten PS-Vita already for the performance in some cores!

Vita sucks

Yeah, the team is even saying a full version of Snes9x 1.54 (now that it's getting MSU-1 support), shouldn't be an issue on the Wii U either, the fact Genesis, Snes, NES, CPS2 all run full speed out of the box, that's just insanely awesome

now wait for optimizations and full hardware use, as well as dynarec. I can feel it, the Nintendo Wii U will be the ultimate emulation machine soon!

Well, the wii u is a lot more powerful than the ps vita, that is why it can run emulators a lot better

And they said the WiiU hardware was trash
Sure it's not a PS4 nor an XBOX One, but hey, it's still pretty good.

the idiot who developed the binding of isaac said that the wii u isnt more powerful than the vita, look at here http://attackofthefanboy.com/news/wii-u-not-much-powerful-ps-vita-says-binding-isaac-developer/

that is why the wii u can run games at 1080p or 720p vs the ps vita 544p.......

Can we simply agree the Vita sucks?
Okay let's move on

Has anyone gotten Rondo of Blood (english translation) working so far in any of the Mednafen cores?

I swear every single new RetroArch thread is filled with ppl reporting non working games they don't own the right roms to, and don't try them first on PC, like ppl tell them to in practicly every single page.

(eventhough you said this was working, I just like SvC's intro)

Is pretty simple to know if you have a incomplete romset or if ain't work.
If you return into retroarch's frontend = Incomplete/wrong romset
If you get DSi Exception/black screen crash (do not confuse with the time the core takes to load a rom) = core's issue

Pretty simple.

Was just playing CPS2, dayum the games run very well. And the SD card taking a long time to load a ROM folder, it had too many files in it so I trimmed down the amount of stuff on the card

Disabling filename extention sorting helps a lot too.

Oh so that helped?
Nice
You could also have created more folders or sort by extension like Vins said.

Eh, too late now, still, loads a lot faster.

I could, but they were save states from the Wii version of RA mostly.

for ppl with sega cd/pc engine cd issues, read the wiki :
http://wiki.libretro.com/index.php?title=Genesis_Plus_GX

http://wiki.libretro.com/index.php?title=Beetle/Mednafen_PCE_FAST

also, you NEED GOOD DUMPS, in the RIGHT FORMAT, no mp3/flac/ape/wav files, the core prolly only work with full isos/toc. (with audio tracks inside the iso, not outside)

 

[splatool]

Is someone can link working version virtual boy core, tried from buildbot versions and wiiubrew apps store and all are DSI crash for me

 

[seam]

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

The picodrive core does support 32x, the wiiu should run it just fine, anyone know why it hasnt been brought over yet? i cant imagine its as complicated as psx/n64/saturn/dreamcast.
