Please, can someone tell me the correct romset for this cores:
mame 2003 = 0.78 romset
fbalpha_libretro = v0.2.97.42 romset
fbalpha2012_cps1_libretro = v0.2.97.30 romset
fbalpha2012_cps2_libretro = v0.2.97.30 romset
fbalpha2012_cps3_libretro.elf = v0.2.97.30 romset
fbalpha2012_neogeo_libretro = v0.2.97.30 romset
mame2000_libretro = 0.37b5 romset
mame2003_midway_libretro 0.78 romset
mame2009_libretro = 0.135U4 romset
mame2010_libretro = 0.139 romset

Thanks.

So guys which Mame core do you suggest to use on Wii U?
 
Any special way to get Quake to work? I load the Tyrquake core then choose the pak and it crashes
 
I have the packs in the root of the sd card because that's where they worked from with the standalone tyr, do they have to be anywhere specific for retroarch to load it?
 
I think it's not finding the databases.
In addition to having the databases in the system dir, make sure the system dir is set to what you think it's set to
 
Mame 2003 is the recommended one afaik

Thanks! Another question, is there a way to play Die Hard Arcade? At starting the rom there's an error about console region, because the rom try to use Jap Bios (from what I read online). How can I set the rom to use US Bios instead?

Is the "system" directory known as what the "bios" directory is? I'm not home so I can't check my directory paths. If it is however a bios directory, then that directory's correct, since I have bios running perfectly for my GameBoy/Color/Advance, Game Gear/Genesis/Sega CD/PCE CD, etc, etc.
 
After trying the 25th Jan nightly I can confirm for some mame games it's still showing them upside down and therefore unplayable, give Donkey Kong or Pacman a try. Don't know if it's linked to the screen size as the games are stretched out to fill more of the screen than earlier versions.

Yes my friend, the system directory is the one which RetroArch checks for the bios files :)
Be sure to double check under the "Directories" option in Settings, you can change the paths if you'd like.

Ok then that's not the issue then, since every other core that requires bios are functioning properly. I'm stumped. :-/
 
Yes, I try to load a coleco rom, unzipped ".col" extension, and I get the dsi crash. Happens from, "Load Content" "Playlist" "Favorites"
I wonder, have you tried different Coleco ROMs?
Maybe the ROM could be at fault or something, try with different Coleco roms to see if one boots.

Nope. tried running Defender/Centipede/Burgertime, all unzipped, still crashes...

Here are screenshots of my sd card, and how I have the folder structures.

And here are my RetroArch directories.

So that everything, I'm at the end of my rope here. I'm also using the latest nightly build. (1-25-18)

Directories seem fine.
The weird thing is that is still gives DSI even after having the bios and unzipping the ROM.

Let me give this a try today after work, I'll download the Coleco BIOS and get a ROM just for testing, I'll let you know if I get the same or managed to run the ROM.
