I don't know what he was asking to change. I think he means more than that main one.

Yeah, I'm using your Forwarder channel, it boots and everything but I don't know how to launch a core in there

Do you mean my vWii Forwarder? from google drive?

Yes yes

 

[ploggy]

Yes yes

I think you have to set the Core path on the directory settings

Do I have to have all the cores in one folder? or how it works?

Sti

Thanks
I will try it out later....

Even with the rpx cores the laucher still reloads into the system menu

Can anyone provide a link with a version that works flawless ? (Channel and Cores)

An idea:
Isn't it a good idea to use RetroArch Wii U as a media player?
If there is a core dedicated as a media player, I guess it can easily be ported right?

I have a quick question about something that's been bothering me because I think I may have had some kind of bad installation with CHBC/Haxchi.

Is the Retroarch loader (and others such as Nintendont, etc) supposed to work right of the bat when you start your Wii U or do you always HAVE TO go into CHBC/Haxchi and autoboot into the Wii U menu in order for it to work?

The reason I'm asking is because I get Error Code 199-9999 on all my loaders (homebrew ones) after I try running them right after turning on the WiiU.

Is there an actual way of running them right after power up of the console? PLEASE ILLUMINATE A NOOB!! lol

Some links will suffice and thank you kindly.

Hi there,

We have reason to believe that this PR will fix the crashing issue with XMB that Ploggy experienced -

https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/pull/5505

Try to let us know if the nightly that will be up within a few hours (say 2/3 hours from now) has fixed this issue.

Thank You Bparker, just noticed the updated Changes.md I don't want to push my luck but could you guys look into Video Overalys ?

Wow nice! Any recommendations for cores supporting this on the Wii U? (I mainly use Nestopia, SNES9X, GenesisPlusGX and Mednafen PCE Fast)

I'd love to see a feature that forces close-content-upon-swapping-cores. That should help the issues with memory I think.
