Homebrew Official Retroarch WiiU (wip.)

[ShadowOne333]

It's WIP, but Snes, Genesis, and NES are are pretty much perfect, Snes9x (mainline, not 2010) is perfect, never had a single issue.

N64 and more complex emulators a re along way off, but will happen.
Gamepad only so far.

Man I'd give a kidney for that Mupen64 core on my Wii U. xD

 

[ploggy]

I'd give your kidney too

 

[splatool]

Or you could keep it as a replacement to use when i give your kidney for it. solid idea

Dayum, Snes9x sounds perfect, over one hour of testing, no matter how many times I open and close the menu, audio is buttery smooth

In my opinion, this has surpassed the Wii port in countless ways.


Edit: Yeah, tested Genesis Plus, Nestopia, Snes9x 1.53, mGBA....all I gotta say is, dayum...

Both TMNT games running on FBA! I've never played the arcade versions before, I think I can never go back to the NES/SNES versions. I love it so much, thanks a ton!

Genplus doesn't have 32x support?

No, it was never implemented. Kega Fusion is the only emulator to support it AFAIK, and that's closed source.

I mean Sega CD, dumb me

Genesis Plus GX does have Sega CD support.
The only core I know from RetroArch which supports 32x is PicoDrive, but that one hasn't been ported to the Wii U yet.

id give his kidney too if we get PS1 first xD

How about this, I give one kidney of mine for the N64 core and you give one of yours for PS1.

Fair enough, lets do that!

No worries, yeah, Sega/Mega CD is working very well PS1, N64, DS, etc will all come in a while, not sure when XD

Out of curiosity, what really happened to the Mednafen PSX core which was being distributed around for the Unofficial cores back in the Wii days?
Was it a fork made by someone else, or was it from the official repo?
Wouldn't that one be a good place to work with for the PPC Dynarec for said core on the Wii U instead of starting from scratch?

All I could find about it was this:

You're right, they can just use that one..

Agreed, it could be a a good template to work off of, but ultimately, it's up to the RetroArch team, and that could give them a significant upper hand.

funny enough that psx core even has a wiiu target setting so I assume it doesnt work properly:

[ShadowOne333]

I mean, theoretically, it would be viable, but I'm not sure what they have in mind for the remaining cores such as Mupen64 and Mednafen PSX.
I know for sure Mupen64 was never ported to the Wii outside of Wii64/Not64, but Mednafen PSX did see a release in the Wii in some way or another, maybe the superior hardware the Wii U offers could make the core work better in terms of performance, or perhaps they want to start over with the dynarec for that core to hopefully give it a better performance, I don't know, but I'll surely be interesting to hear from them about that core.

What does that mean, exactly? That it'll be worked on at some point...?
