Homebrew Official Retroarch WiiU (wip.)

[the_randomizer]

1.6.8 is not stable.

Well, that is unfortunate

I mentioned this before, but "stable" really doesn't have much bearing on the Wii U. It's going to be about even with the nightlies; although I guess the stable builds shouldn't contain surprises. I'd find a nightly build that works reasonably well and stick with it until you have a reason to update.

Now there arent FBA 2012 versions for CPS1, CPS2, CPS3 and Neo Geo, but rather a single FBA 2012, you need to use that to play Capcom Arcades and Neo Geo Games? Because I can't play Marvel VS Capcom and I don't know what to do

Use fba not fba2012, @ploggy posted the romset that fba uses, I keep forgeting it, we should include it in the op @QuarkTheAwesome

Oh thanks, I'm new to this and I want to play Arcades and Neo Geo titles mainly.

How can I use the official GC Adapter? I can't get it working and I also can't see where info on that could be, in this thread at least I can find anything, if I use HID to VPAD and then enter Retroarch it freezes the console, there's got to be a way to use USB Controllers on Retroarch.

Edit: I'm now reading something about using some .ini file on wiiu/controllers but I don't know how to do one and if it will work, maybe there is a config file already made for it?

Stable 1.6.9 got released. I'm just gunna stick with the stable build for a while, it decent enough, instead of the daily nightly download, and not download newer ones until a few weeks.

FBA works with CPS2?
I haven't been able to get CPS2 to work with FBA, they only load in FBA2012.
CPS3 works fine in FBA though.

Has anybody been having problems getting digital to analog to work? I can't get my analog stick to accept any d-pad inputs in the latest stable.

So I'm playing a little with shader (lead to nothing for now, don't expect something from this , it's pretty wip and unsafe as usual)
I'm using 2 shader , one for menu (normal one ,font ,overlay... ) and one for the core (scanline one)

here scanline (from testing core)

here no scanline (from old core)

Usually it should already detect them.
Set max players in input to 16. Then they should be mappable for each user.

Make sure you're using the right romset

They appear as Port 5,6,7,8 and by default I had it up to 4, that was the reason, thanks!
I think that the other ports are empty for possibles Wiimotes or Pro Controllers, I guess.

When I try to save autoconfig of the Controller, it says "error saving autoconf dile" now, what can I do to get it working?

Hey guys, could someone please give me a hand. I was attempting to update my retroarch since I had not updated it for several months. The auto-update feature was not working so I decided to just download the latest nightly rpx (11/23) and replace the appropriate files on my SD. I did this and removed the old config files. However, whenever I start retroarch the Wii U just goes to a black screen. I tried reinstalling, using the 11/22 nightly, and deleting all of the folders besides the core folder and the downloads folder with my games. Still no luck. Any suggestions? Thank you!

EDIT: The .elf version seems to work, but I don't know why it would work and not the .rpx. I am on version 1.4 for Homebrew, which I believe is the latest, launching via Haxchi. The only noticeable issue is opening room directories takes substantial time.

So what are currently the largest bugs with retroarch in wiiu? last time I was here, frequent dsi errors from exiting games and launching new ones and such was an issue. Is that still the case?

Bugs are still being neutralized as we speak
https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/5357#issuecomment-346767995

It's a very time-consuming process. But with any bug squashing, one bug is neutralized, two more pop up in it's place, gotta go with the roll of the dice.

Thanks for the update. Looks like they're working hard

It has gotten better over the past couple of months, and the Wii U has its share of nightmarish quirks to be sure, I'm glad there's a solid port. No prob

Hi guys, after playing around with some of the Sega CD games via Genesis plus GX, I noticed that I don't have any music on the Japanese or EU version of Sonic CD. I've tried both the bin/cue and ISO versions from that site....

However only on that particular game, instead of just loading the game, it goes to the Sega CD menu and the game plays without any music. The sound effects are there but no music whatsoever. With the downloaded files, I also got these MP3 files which are basically the music from the game.

Anyone else had this problem before?

Bad dumps. Most of the early dumps were very badly ripped. There's a particular site where a guy has ripped all the sega cd games properly. He's done a bloody great job with them and they play like 1:1 rips. I downloaded the whole lot at about 60-70 gb worths
