Homebrew Official Retroarch WiiU (wip.)

[the_randomizer]

Yes very busy but also having Internet issues . Will update all asap.

Take your time, man, there's no rush. Thank you and the Libretro team for your work.

Top that off with the fact many cores already run full speed. with audio and little to no performance issues; CPS2 ran perfectly, but yes I agree, good things come to those who wait, things are awesome with the scene now

Yeah, that's just amazing. I mean, i expected A LOT less but the initial results are exactly the opposite. It really gives hope about the Wii U scene.

 

[dimok]

oh yeah that would be great
also, kind of related, would it be possible for the data/bss sections to start at a different address? mainly at an address >= 0x10000000 to make it visible to the gpu. it seemed to work with a tiny test program but it didn't for retroarch.

Alright. I will take a look at it. We could move to use the RPX area and overwrite mii maker code and data. You might need to change the linker file for it though and you will not be able to work outside of mii maker space, as some application like ddd do. Though I don't think you need that

This started with a blast, but we need to be realistic. It's time to let them get their own pace. Also, may i guess that only one member of the libretro team has a Wii U (The donated one in fact) ?

The nighlies are going to remain mainly untouched for a while i think, or at least until those DSI Exception errors get solved (I guess compatibility is the main priority for the libretro team)

I mean, the Wii U version hasn't even been announced on the libretro blog, it's obvious that this version is below the team's standards

By now, we have motherfucking Street Fighter 3 on Wii U. For a pre-Alpha that's is outstanding.

very happy with performance right now, but I just need a way to play in 4:3, I stopped using the emu after a couple mins just for that reason. (most will call it OCD, bu5 come on, I grew up with and love those systems, I can't bear to watch and play them like this)

I edited shit in the retroarch config to no avail to get that but never did.
that and being able to remap controls in the neo core.
(that being said, I suppose I'll just work in out with hid to vpad)

Don't peg me as ungrateful tho, I'm extremely grateful for their work!

 

[fatsquirrel]

I just tried Alien vs Predator on cps2 and first it didnt find any files, so I used scan directory option but it bugged and threw out DSI exception error
How do you get this to work laddies?

 

[Osakasan]

With that said, is there a NAOMI Core for Retroarch?

Dat Capcom vs SNK 2

 

[Azel]

noami=dreamcast=reicast so no.

Ouch

GC version via Nintendont, then.

 

[Azel]

was about to say that, indeed^^

 

[ploggy]

Seems like the buildbot updated again, with a new core. Don't know what system fuse is for though so I can't test it out.

Fuse is a ZX Spectrum Emulator.

If you could remove the 6.5 mb limitation too that would be awesome

 

[fatsquirrel]

Ok can someone else test cps2 and Aliens vs predator from capcom? Mine buggs

Not a bad version in fact, but that pristine SF3 at 1080p on my monitor still sparkles in my eyes.

It's working over here mate. perhaps a bad set?

Can please let me know how you loaded it? Was your rom in 03d,04d and so on format? Or did you put a zip there (not sure if it works like that?)
Did you use directory scan option?

Thanks! How do you know whether to use CPS1, 2, or 3? I'm trying to get The Simpsons arcade game running and don't know the differences between those and MAME. Could someone point me toward a Readme or tutorial on which core to use for which games? Thanks again!

Download roms for Final Burn Alpha. Those are the ones that (mostly) works

You'll not get The Simpsons running yet - CPS stands for Capcom Play System and each is a particular Capcom made arcade board.... Like Osakasan says you'll need Final Burn Alpha roms, but at the moment you can only play the CPS games, Neo Geo, and Midway (on the Mame core) anyway - The Simpsons is a Konami game, and not yet playable.

Final Burn and Street Fighter II are CPS1 games
Marvel vs Capcom and Super Street Fighter II are CPS2
Street Fighter III is CPS3

Google will help for a full list of supported games....

Loaded it the same as you would load any other rom
The Rom was Zipped.

Aha! I unzipped it, thought that's required for it to run. I'll try the alternative

 

[sj33]

Arcade roms actually NEED to be zipped, because they're usually a collection of multiple files.
