Homebrew Official Retroarch WiiU (wip.)

As far as PS1 emulation goes, what is this? http://wiiubru.com/appstore/#/app/mednafen_psx_libretro

Is there a huge downside I'm not seeing?

Its slow and it runs in interper mode.

Interpreter* mode

The core does load games and such, but it does so at such low fps due to the fact that the core only works in interpreter mode.
To get better performance, a PowerPC-specific dynarec is required for said core, so that it can use that mode instead of pure interpreter.

Thanks for the heads up, good thing I haven't configured anything yet with yesterday's cores, but I'll do so once the new nightly is ready.

Dragon Ball Z2 goes insanely fast on MAME. Is there a way to fix that? .__.

 

[ShadowOne333]

@the_randomizer no actually I think that the nightlies from 12:24 are already the ones with the newest commit, the commit was made about an hour ago, and it's just 13:04 where I live, so maybe they are ready already.

Hmm, no idea, I don't know what time these compile (time zone) compared to where I live; my time zone is GMT -7, or MST, so maybe they've been compiled already? Will test them for sure

You could check the commit serial to see if the new builds match the newest commit by FIX94.

It would be commit 76d0380 I believe.

YES!
The latest builds are already up to date with the new changes made by Fix.
The commit serial of the buildbot builds is 711e4ea, and that one was made 2-3 commits after the one from Fix was accepted:

did you also see some graphical glitches? i did when trying it

Since my last cores report, i haven't seen another one. Are all Retroarch cores working, currently? Haven't touched my setup since 11-18 which works perfect for the most part, so i'm curious if it's worth upgrading, if the previous errors were improved.

Jesus H... can't you people just be content with what you've got to play with at the moment?? (not aiming that only at you of course) Alias, FIX and the rest have done a wonderful job giving us a good selection of consoles to play with, yet all I'm seeing from the select/usual gang is 'We want PSX nao!!', and 'We want better loading times yesterday' etc..
Someone then spends xxx time building a dynarec, releases it, and the day after you'll all be screaming for better compatibility, then N64, or PSP, or DC (delete any of those consoles when done and there's 2 left - release all 3 and you'll be onto the Saturn/3DO then!)

Alias has brought RA over to the Wii U, his comment was most likely simply to reiterate that - it didn't make the prospect of a working dynarec any less 'good sounding' - that is simply a job for someone else...
....just enjoy the thousands of games we can already play thanks to these guys and let them work their magic in their own time...

You'll get to see it personally when that time arrives: x game doesn't run, more speed, more filters, better gui, etc.

 

[Osakasan]

Yeah, layers weren't in order on the main screen.

 

[OriginalHamster]

Can you actually rotate the screen on mame yet? I haven't had the time to test myself tbh.

I dont see a way to do so. I want to be able to rotate it for some of the shooters. Guess its not implemented yet. Have u been able to do it with FBA? i dont see an option there either

oh and yea i see that the timer goes really fast, but the gameplay seems like its at normal speed. check this video out if u look at it running on mame on pc it runs exactly the same, so i think thats just how the game is. either way, it isnt a retroarch issue.

 

[AriaHiro]

will i get banned for linking n64 sdk documentation? just for those who would want it? you would still need the actual libraries from the official sdk to make sense of it.

No. I'm sure anyone that would need it knows how to find it.

So I did some testing with the fba core and the mame2003 core. Here are some issues I've run into, can anyone verify some of these? The more the better. Just lemme know if you had the same issues or got them working where they didn't work for me. Thanks.


FBA


not working at all:


bonks adventure arcade - doesnt work in fba or mame2003
----------------------------

sega Y board games: broken grafx(looks like it went through a paper shreader)


galaxy force 2 - also has joystick issues, and i cant seem to shoot
g-loc - same joystick issues as galaxy force 2, but you can shoot
power drift - just the shreaded grafx
strike fighter - same as g-loc
----------------------------

super monaco gp - broken grafx
night striker - same joystick issues as g-loc, some grafx glitches, doesnt work in mame
----------------------------


MAME


dbz2 - has minor grafx glitches
lucky and wild - cant aim to fire. some grafx glitches
mk2-3 - works perfect but has low volume
ninja baseball batman - bad audio, some grafx glitches
primal rage - loads, way too slow(probably will never be fullspeed), has some grafx glitches
mk3u - runs great, has minor grafx glitches
crusnusa - asks to hit enter key to proceed, cant assign key though
sonic arcade - suggest trying "sonicp" rom instead, which crashes mame
-----------------------------

system 32: not loading at all(maybe mame2003 doesnt support system32/multi32?)


alien3
dbzvrvs
ga2
gaxeduel
rad mobile
rad rally
-----------------------------

system multi 32: not loading


outrunners
-----------------------------

konami gx hardware: not loading


Salamander2
-----------------------------

I hate to bump my own post, especially a large one, but can anyone verify any of these? alien3 and rad rally for instance are supposed to work for sure, and i have the correct set, but cannot get them to work. system32 is supported but im having no luck. any help is appreciated
