Homebrew Official Retroarch WiiU (wip.)

@ploggy next build should have 44khz for wiiu, let me know if it's faster.

When it comes to sampling rates, is there any advantages of 48000 Hz versus 44100 Hz? If 44.1 kHz is faster then Wii U would fit best IMO.

Unnoticeable, the GB has a very primitive soundchip for such high sample-rate anyways.

I'm talking about what RA uses, it seems 44 kHz is faster, so maybe Wii U should use that instead? I'm almost 100% sure RA uses that sampling rate regardless.

I don't think there will be too much difference between 48khz and 44khz, this is the internal core sampling rate that was 384khz

That's a really random number, huh, fair enough.

 

[Radius4]

There are plenty of DACs that support 384khz.
It's an overengineered standard, but it exists.

Didn't know that, I was confused because an earlier post said 44 kHz was faster on Wii U.

@Radius4 Here's the results
LOZ OOS Dual Game Test. (GBC) I get around 22FPS. For Single Game I get about 45FPS.

Tetris Dual Game Test. (GB) I get around 33 FPS. For Single Game it runs fullspeed

I can set the Dual mode easy enough by going into the in Game Options and check "Dual Game Boy Mode" to "ON" and reload Content and that works fine. But to set it back to single Display I have to uncheck that setting then fully quit Retroach and reload for it to work. Just setting it to "OFF" then reloading Content doesn't have any effect.

 

[Radius4]

Oh well... it was worth a shot.
I'll fix up TGB dual with multi cart support, that should be fullspeed, but to load different carts via GUI a lot of stuff needs to happen that's out of my control

 

[Osakasan]

A GBC emulator with dual cart support?

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaath? O______O

I guess i know how i'm goig to transfer my VC Pkmn Yellow pokémon to Crystal

 

[M7L7NK7]

Any gba emulators do that? Would be good to be able to evolve haunter and kadabra on leafgreen without cheating

 

[infidelity]

I apologize for the randomness, but is there anyone who has used the coco2 emulator via PC? I have that old computer emulator actually running on DOSBOX, and I want to run the "Program Pak's" for that computer, (those were the cartridge games for the Radio Shack Tandy Color Computer) but I'm unable to get the games to boot up, all I have is the BASIC screen. I know this is random, but I don't know where else to post, and I'm hoping someone here is a lover of coco games such as myself.

Nice boots.

By the way can anyone tell me whether RetroArch for Wii U works with a FAT32 drive that is hidden with UStealth?

That is something I wanna test since I got my 1TB WD Passport, so my 128gb USB is free to test fat32 stuff on wiiu

 

[rioray]

Sure I'll test it out once the builds ready

Have you looked into a Neo-Geo CD Core for Retroarch? I found this https://github.com/joolswills/neocdsdl would it be possible to get it on WiiU?

the only problem i see is the cdrom stuff , i don't have any clue how we can deal with the cdrom.

So if we could work around that we could finally get a NeoCD Core I found this over at GC-forever. It's the source for the GC/Wii version maybe this could help?

Hey everyone. New to Retroarch on the Wii U and was wondering if there is a list of supported systems for the Wii U. Like i see that the first post says that 28 systems ate supported but doesn't list which ones. But then a little further down there is a picture for how the rom folders should be set up and it shows 32 folders. Is the picture correct and only those listed in the picture are supported or are there more? Thank you.

Wish there was a way to add this to the OP
