Homebrew Official Retroarch WiiU (wip.)

[kamari0]

If you have the Retroarch Launcher installed your not going to need the WiiU folder from the zip. Just extract the Retroarch folder to the root of your Sd Card, you can place your Roms anywhere on Sd card or USB hdd

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------


You insall this channel with wup installer not an elf file..
(Retroarch Channel, extract to the install folder on the root of your sd and install with WUP installer)
You want to download the RPX version of Retroarch too not the elf version
(Extract the Retroarch folder to the root of your sd)
(extract this to the Media folder that's now in the Retroarch folder on root)

Once you've done that you can just load the Channel whenever you wan to use Retroarch

I've followed these instructions and whenever I go to load the Channel it loads then it goes back to the Wii Menu. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I actually solved the issue, I had both the elf and rpx versions in my RetroArch folder. When I removed the elf it solved the issue.

Glad you got it sorted

Hey guys.
How stable is 1.7.1 working for y’all?
I’m thinking I might upgrade soon but wanted to know from personal experiences first.

GBA games are crazy bright in Retroarch. Is there any way to dim them?

That's normal, GBA games were not meant to be backlit, you'll need color restoration patches.

hi
i run Shinobi3(mega drive) by retroarch
but is not fullscreen
how can i strech the screen game ?
i go to setting and set the options to 16:9 & NTSC-U & ......
but did not work
please help me to solve this problem
thanks

That's as fullscreen as you can get without stretching.
There is no way to create extra gfx to fill the sides so you can only get black bars or a squished ugly image.

every genesis and snes an such were 4:3 games with sprites, you cant make true widescreen patches like you can on 3d games since they are sprites, nothing is on the sides, so its either stretched or correct 4:3

@rioray it looks like C64 vice-sdl is ready to go , are you planing a PR in the future?

Yes ,I'm little away from RA stuff for now,but i have to take time to check again the build process before submit a PR.
I will try to look today.

Why this? *

I tried to reload assets, delete everything and installing it again. No changes.

Any help? Version 1.7.1 on 5.5.2.

Thanks.

* I've no idea how to post an image, the form keeps saying it's spam. URL is postimg.org/image/fc68nh8tn/

UPDATE: Well, nevermind, nothing works. I scanned an Amiga adf directory and didn't find anything. Loaded the amiga core and program quit. Now every time I start it it keeps quitting.

Any good Amiga emulator for Wii U?

Yes the Retroarch Amiga emulator is rather good and works perfectly for pretty much every one other than yourself. And no there is no other WiiU amiga emulators.

Many thanks for your help.

Downloaded the latest ELF version and it's working great. I've run into one big annoyance however: every time I select a core, I'm booted back into the Homebrew Launcher, and only when I start Retroarch again, I can actually play any games corresponding to that respective core. Is there a way to fix this?

@ploggy Saw that you messaged this guy


I had inquired as well and started a thread on the Homebrew discussion. So far no progress and I've ran into a brick wall. I appreciate you reaching out as well. Maybe some progress can be made with it.

Yeah I saw that you posted there too I think the guy should post the method/tut here so others can do it too. Its probably not too difficult to do but it requires editing/compiling the source.

Correct. I'm wondering why he is so secretive about it. Oh well. Here's to hoping.

Yea, it does come across like he's trying to be secretive about it but I don't know why.. It's not like its hard to find out how he did it.. The Devs on the Retroarch Discord would probably tell you how if you asked them

Hello guys!

I have a problem with RA on my WiiU.

1. I got SD card fully formated with FAT32 (2GB)
2. Installed Homebrew Launcher v1.4
3. Installed Retroarch_rpx.7z at SD root (same as described in post #1)
4. Installed Assetsmaster at retroarch\media directory (same as described in post #1)
5. Used loadiine.ovh
6. Got HL running with all emulators
7. Finding "retroarch/retroarch.rpx" (not plain Retroarch as I see in YT tutorials) and when I click Load console freezes.
8. When I try to run PUAE (amiga emulator) and click Load, program Loads to 100% and console freezes.

My WiiU soft is up to date.

Guys, please help me. What I`m doing wrong? It`s Obvious that is my fault, but where I`m doing mistake?
Today, I spent few hours, trying to solve that problem, and after another format, and install problem was the same.
