So, I'm curious if I'm missing a folder, or need to now set a directory for something other than assets? Once I restart the app with a configuration file it errors me to the 160-2203 and I have to hard reset.all I did was throw all this stuff in, brand new install of everything. Well RetroArch rpx to the apps folder, then the provided retroarch folder and then added the media and assets folder.


Edit: and it only seems to do it once the Config file is there. If I deleted configuration file it works fine

Which build are you using? I'm using https://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/nintendo/wiiu/2017-05-22_RetroArch_rpx.7z, and it works fine.
 
Is anyone having problems with the GBA Core? If I try to load any of the Sonic Advance games (there maybe more) I get a DSI Error message :(

Which build are you using, by chance? I've only used the Genesis and Snes9x cores, haven't tried any of the others yet, and is it only those two that crash?
 
I've reverted back to my old rpx files. Done getting g up to reboot or ftp remove the configuration file everytime.

I'm using the newest build. I think I may have narrowed it down to the Sonic Advance games, strange. Maybe they're just duff roms. I'll try another source and get back :)

No worries. Yeah, that works, so far I've had a very stable experience with this build, I'll definitely test more tomorrow, MAME, FB Alpha, stuff like that :P Let me know when you get them working.

Can you do me one more favour? Could you load a GB rom and try to use FF and see if the Emulation freezes? Thanks.. Iv'e been having consistent freezes by using FF when playing with the gameboy core. :)
 
ploggy said:
Yes, sorry. Fast Forward ;)
BTW turns out I did have a few duff GBA roms (either that or my old srm save files weren't compatible the newer builds of Retroarch and caused the DSI Error's) :)

SRM files are universal, chances are the ROMs were corrupted (I used my Snes SRM files from 1.4.1 to 1.5.x just fine) :P Glad you got that issue resolved, TBH, I never used fast forward on the Wii U side, I was afraid to use it XD

lol What were you afraid of? the WiiU going to the future or something lol I always use FF and Rewind and never really had any issues until messing with GB core, it's as if FF is too fast and causing the core to panic and freeze. Maybe I should ask the devs to put a FF limit in the emulator. X2 or X3 is more than enough FF speed. :)

Was just trying to help, sorry.

Well you can be safe in the knowledge that it only seems to happen in the GB core :)

Ah well, I'll keep that in mind :P

@ploggy i have no problem with gba roms and sonic advence works perfectly.

Could you tell me what can we do with networking ? It's netplay ? Can we do online multiplayer with that feature ??

I managed to sort out the Sonic roms, I think it was bad dumps :P
About Networking. I have no idea I'm still waiting on the build bot for the next Retroarch zip :) but I think for now probably Thumbnail and Content Updater?
But who knows in the Future :)

But.... If Netplay did make it's way onto the WiiU, I would kick all your asses in Street Fighter!. :gun:
