Homebrew Official Retroarch WiiU (wip.)

You need to compile the shaders first, but you need tools that we can't provide to do so.

So end users wont use shaders anytime soon ?

Like never since I really doubt open-source tools will be made xD

Unless open-source tools are made to compile the shaders for the Wii U, the only other way to get them would be to get the Wii U's SDK, and compile the shaders with said SDK.

Then share the compiled shaders in one of those ISO sites for the Wii U or something, that's the only way I can think of going about it at the moment UNTIL open source tools are available to do so.

Since "anyone" can subscribe as a dev for free @Ninty (to get the SDK) a step by step solution on how to do this on our own would be nice I guess.

Hey guys I've been trying to get Galaga setup with fbalpha but for the life of me I cannot understand why it's always upside down. Can anyone try it out and let me know if they can get it to work? galagao.zip is the only fbalpha game doing this to me

Go to the Quick Menu once you opened Galaga, and search inside Options.
There should be an option to turn the output image/screen, though I can't remember what it was called, but it should be there somewhere.

You can use the rotation setting too. It's in the video settings, you may have to enable advanced settings first though

That's why I only play the NES ports of old arcade games

CAn someone tell me which BIOS files we need for RetroArchs current working cores? Just trying the famicom one, renaming it disksys.rom and seeing if it works.

[hint]Look at that archive site for a RetroArch BIOS pack that someone who has the same name as me posted.[/hint]

Thanks! Hopefully this all works good.

@ShadowOne333 is click both sticks while pressing L,R on the gamepad supposed to quit retroarch?

Nope, to go back to the RetroArch menu you press the Home button.
Unless you changed it in the Hotkeys options.

No I don't mean pull-up the retroarch menu. I mean actually shutdown retroarch and go back to sysmenu (hoping this doesn't mean it's crashing). Mind trying it out? Push down into left and right sticks, while holding L and R at the same time. Had someone else confirm separately. No changes to Hotkeys.

Oh you meant exiting Retroarch altogether?
Well I always do it by going to the RA menu, then selecting the "Quit RetroArch" option.
I don't even know if pressing down the analog sticks together do anything at all. :/

I guess I didn't explain this very well haha. Someone reported to me that their retroarch was force closing itself whenever they pressed that combo accidentally (Push both analog sticks in and L+R). I tried it out on my system, where I have never setup hotkeys, and yeah I get the same thing. I'm just wondering if this is a bug i should report or not

Oooooooooooooooooh
Now I get it hahaha.
I'm not home at the moment to try it out unfortunately, but I'll try to do so when I get back home from work.
Besides, I have to do some extensive testing on the Wii U for hours of gameplay since I had a shutdown yesterday of the console due to overheating.
I think I fixed it, but I want to make sure by playing for at least 3 hours on a row. That'd be enough to test the L+R sticks thing too
