[ploggy]

yeah i knew it was too good, i remenber that guy appearing and saying in less than 2 months it was done

It's not that bad tbh, the guy who's taken over (Simias) looks like he really knows his stuff when it comes to PSX

I think he started from scratch? He's been working on it since Jan

 

[Billy Acuña]

Does this edit imply quark rescinded his interest?

I am pretty sure that isn't the case, Quarks is working in another projects so pretty sure he only doesn't like to promise anything.

Really hope we get lightgun support one day!

Soz im sure this has been answered but are SCUMMVM games working on Retroarch? Also is there an idiots guide to putting them on? I used ScummVM for Wii pretty well before.

That said is there also a list of which consoles have near perf compatbility on REtroarch Wii U:

I've tried (all work unless stated)
NES
SNES
GB
GBA
GBC
MASTER SYSTEM
GAME GEAR
MEGA DRIVE
SEGA CD
MSX - can only get certain games working
MSX 2 - can only get certain games working
ATARI LYNX - often freezes before game beings randomly
WONDERSWAN
WONDERSWAN COLOR
TURBO GRAFX 16
DOOM - doom 1,2, plutonia, TNT all work
NEO GEO POCKET COLOR

I havent tried anything else yet, though i do notice a number of cores available, i just dont want to put games on if they aint gunna work with a core. Thanks (:

What's a good romset for FBA? I used Fightcade romset and it's either it works or it doesn't work depending on the game.

Depends on the FBA Core you use.. FBA2012 uses v0.2.97.30 and FBA uses whatever is the latest.

Just a warning I've been getting DSIs on latest FBA, there's an open issue on GitHub

Only some roms though

I get that too.

Oh didn't even know someone's working on it again. Now there's some hope left.
Give us PSX and N64 to make the Wii U godlike finally.

considering no one is even making any atteampt at n64 i wouldnt get my hopes up, for psx we have some hope.

I'm not technically into it very much but as far as I understood it's not that big of a step to do to get N64 to work once we have dynarec things for PSX.

I'm patient.

I'm not sure i actually want N64 emulation via Retroarch on Wii U

The way Retropad works makes handling the game kind of nightmarish. There hasn't been an adequate official controller for N64 emulation since, well, the N64 itself.

While compatibility es far from perfect, we already have N64 injection for that. I'd take PSX emulation gladly, though.

what? n64 dynarec is totaly diferent..
getting n64 emulation to work without even dynarec is already a nightmare since no one documented gx2 in detail so you cant even properly code the graphic pluggns needed for n64 emulation, unlike psx wich is just software rendering, you cant use anything from psx to even help n64 codding.

I just tried adding Atari ST, Commodore Amiga, ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, most games just gave the whole black screen text dump thing. Do they read the ZIP archives? Do I need to extract them first or something?

Hey how do I get PC Engine CD games working? Using the core but not working, where do I need to put the PC Engine BIOS andi "syscard3.pce"
