How do you create a music playlist for the music player?
What's the core that open audio files?
What name should have the music media folder?

You mean the Game Music Emu or FFmpeg core?

I think none of those is available on wiiu, yet.

The name of the playlist can be whatever you want (just need to have .lpl extension), they just use a specific name to match the theme icons.

Also the playlist contents should be similar to other cores.

I dunno, just saw a music icon in the latest nightlies no idea what core it uses or even if it's active, but no, no new core has been released in the nightly pack, I though that the main retroarch.rpx could do the job tho...

I have the latest nightly and I'm not seeing any Music icon? I maybe blind tho lol

Not sure what was that.

On pc retroarch there are 2 cores that play music files.

Game Music Emu (gme) that according to the info file loads "ay|gbs|gym|hes|kss|nsf|nsfe|sap|spc|vgm|vgz" files, maybe it can be compiled for wiiu.

Also the FFmpeg core that plays "mkv|avi|f4v|f4f|3gp|ogm|flv|mp4|mp3|flac|ogg|m4a|webm|3g2|mov|wmv|mpg|mpeg|vob|asf|divx|m2p|m2ts|ps|ts|mxf|wma|wav"
this one seem more primitive, maybe not so easy to compile for wiiu.

I am trying to use the MAME core with retroarch but it won't load the game and the Wii U freezes requiring a forced shut down by holding the power button on the console. The game is a zip file which when using MAME on Wii I did not have to extract. Am I doing anything wrong? I tried finding the answer to this prior to asking so I apologize if it has been answered before.

You need the correct roms. The mame2003 core needs mame 0.78 roms (google them). If your using correct roms try an older nightly. The core runs great btw

I suppose is related to this commit:

https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/commit/f1447ddf3f2700f39f146ea7ff8bde84acd82453

Update: tested on pc, there is also a video history playlist now. It seem to be only populated by files opened in FFmpeg core (they were mixed in game history playlist before), don't know how useful that will be for the wiiu port.

I did not know that, thank you! I was able to get Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to run since my previous post so I know it works. The game I was trying to get to run is Contra.

The System Memory error goes away by deleting the CFG files, in case it helps others.
Now about this Music playlist...
Does the latest nightly include the FFMPEG core?

No, the commit only enabled the history playlist for ports without FFmpeg. I think, right now there are no cores on wiiu that show recent play music files on that playlist.

This playlist is equivalent to the history playlist, just as the name implies it is for music.

Nevermind, it seems the issue with the system memory is still there after a reboot :/
Goddamnit I don't want to keep going into the PC to delete the config each time.

Who else is having issues with System memory errors besides @Marko76 and me?
Not even loading a core first and using Load Content works, I get the error no matter how or what game I try to load.

You using mocha too?

NopeI'm not, I use barebones Haxchi with no CFW at all.

Me, and yeah it's annoying having to go to PC and delete configs eveytime, even more annoying having to lost custom controller settings :/

Oh cause I thought that may have been the issue. Everything works great here using a combination of CBHC and haxchi. The only core that still gives me trouble is loading second rom with lynx core.

BTW is everyone else having gray screen upon booting a Atari Lynx game?

No only loading second rom. Have you the bios?
