Homebrew Official Retroarch WiiU (wip.)

This is how to build the retro arch from source with it's cores, but I need to know how to take a core for PC or another device and get it to work for Wii u

I don't think that's possible, like, at all.

Yeah I dont think that's possible, for it to run on WiiU the core has to be ported from source.

Is it possible that retro arch cores that aren't on Wii u do have power PC cross build options?

I don't know, you could ask on the Retroarch Discord, you can ask the devs themselves and get a quick answer

Building for consoles is:
1. build core
2. copy core to retroarch dist-scripts dir
3. run script to build retroarch

Has anyone been successful in getting Demon Front to run with any of the arcade cores?

If so could you please share your settings?

Hi folks, just checking. Whats the status on N64, PS1 and 32x games on Wii U Retroarch?

N64: probably never
PS1:you can use the overlock wii version since no one wants to make a dynarec for the wii u
32X:dunno

btw i endend up downloading a old version of FBA because the new ones always crash with the DSI Error

 

[Radius4]

Please report the breakage here

backported a PPC dynarec to dosbox-svn.
Not close to my WiiU so I can't test but I hope someone here can.

Is the download on RetroArch site or on Github, for this core?

 

[Radius4]

Same thing as every other core
online updater

 

[the_randomizer]

Do you think there'll be more dynarec ports for Wii U cores? Asking for a friend

 

[Radius4]

No idea I just do dosbox and I didn't write the dynarec, I just ported it

Oooh okay, gotcha.

 

[Radius4]

Meh... crashes right away with the dynarec.
I'll have to ask around because I have no idea on how to fix this myself

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

Sadly it crashes and it's well beyond what I could possibly solve.

Yikes, that is..ugh, that sucks >.>

@QuarkTheAwesome do you happen to know that the debugger is logging about the DosBox dynarec Radius ported to PPC?

Lol after all the Code and Strings I have been looking through I can almost read it hopefully if I stir at this stuff long enough I will be like Neo from the Matrix and become the one.
