Homebrew Official Retroarch WiiU (wip.)

[ShadowOne333]

also @ShadowOne333 maybe you just think of the natural audio cracking of the super metroid samples as a problem, to hear what I mean I just recorded the intro of it in both snes9x 1.53 on windows and snes9x in retroarch so you can hear that they pretty much give me the same output.

Oh no I'm aware of Super Metroid's odd instrument samples, but this is indeed crackling audio, like the type you get when your earphones are starting to fail and you move them around to get the left one working again.
That kind of crackling haha.

I will surely post a video to better depict my issues with both Snes cores once I get home.

Maybe the issue is that your earphones are failing Sorry couldn't help it hehe.

Hahah well yeah that could have been it if I was using headphones
but sadly it's the TV Speakers
And yes they work fine with other games XD

Please though, do try to delete your config files, I'm serious XD You'd be surprised how many issues that can fix.

Hahah yeah I know, but I'm not home, I can't delete anything yet. xD
I did deleted the folder that RetroArch created named "Snes9x" and "Snes9x 2010" under configs I believe, but I have yet to delete the overall retroarch.cfg files found inside /retroarch/
In anyway, I will post the video of the issues first in here, and then I will try that to see if that fixed it.

I get crackling in gba, just open quick menu then back out.

This looks promising, but it's slow apparently. I wonder how he did this?

Mednafen PSX core and the proper BIOS files. I tried out Tekken 3 and it loads, but it's very slow.

 

[VinsCool]

This looks promising, but it's slow apparently. I wonder how he did this?

that's to be expected. It runs on a interpreter cpu mode. It will be accurate, but very slow, unless ran on a powerful computer.

that video is from a couple days ago and only is there because I've added the needed code for it and shared the build.

I would actually love a 3do emulator as it's probably the only system I have never played before either on hardware or through emulation.

 

[AriaHiro]

any improvements since monday?

That's the only game I like or remember on it. and was only on that system. but I don't really need it for 1 game, was being silly.

Do you think, at least in your opinion, if the PSX can or will ever be improved? N64 I couldn't care less about to be blunt, just wanted to know your thoughts

any improvements since monday?

Looking at that commit log, I don't see any Wii U changes that have been made in a while.

It would be good if someone had a bash at putting that new libfat into retroarch to see if it does help with the file loading speed.

I don't know if/when that's gonna happen, that's up to the devs, and uh, I don't know how often they visit these forums. Short of making a new topic/bug report on their GitHub repository, I don't know if they even know about it. There's got to be a way to get their attention.

@FIX94, @the_randomizer
Yeah it was the stupid configuration files making their malignant deeds.
I still have the video though in case you guys wanted to take a peek at it:
https://sendvid.com/aqcx2h46

Oh and guess what?
The Mame ROMs which were giving me DSI exceptions suddenly started working too... (For some reason...) ???
Only X-Men 2 Players didn't work, but I'm assuming that's because I don't have the correct parent/child romset.
The Simpsons 2p worked, Turtles in Time did too, and even Sunset Riders. ALL of them.

EVEN FUCKING MGBA LOADS GB/GBC ROMS NOW!!!
So long Gambattle!

Literally that solved ALL of my problems!

I basically deleted all of the content history, and all of the cfg files inside /retroarch/
And also deleted everything inside the /retroarch/config just for good measure.

Everything works wonderfully now!

Glad ya got it resolved! Config files like to screw things up for some reason, sometimes we have to learn the hard way Also
with the MAME core (TMNT2, Turtles in Time, Simpsons) which ROM set do you use?

Thanks for you help, FIX's and everyone which I ever bothered through PM
For the Mame roms, I'm using the original ROM alongside a child rom which is only a few kbs in size.
I do this because I usually play alone, and the original 4 player ROMs lock the first player to a certain character (Simpsons - Marge, TMNT - Leonardo, etc), so with the 2 player sets I can choose my character for all of them.
Also, I just noticed that X-Men 4-Players let's you select the character by default, so no need for a 2 player ROM for it.
Just search for "MAME 2003 Reference Set Update 2" and you should find it.
