Homebrew Official Retroarch WiiU (wip.)

What kind or roms does this one runs?

It's all here
https://docs.libretro.com/library/pcsx_rearmed/

But personally I'd stick with CHD

Is anyone else experiencing slowdowns with turbografx CD games? I had version 1.8.9 and they worked just fine, but after updating to 1.9.9 the audio stutter and the games run slower.

Just tested "castlevania rondo of blood" (PC Engine CD / JAP). Runs OK with Bettle PCE FAST core. Only an inital slowdown because retroachievements are activated on my setup.

I think I was using the normal core, tried the FAST core and all games run fine, now I'm getting very slow load times when I have 2 HDDs plugged at the same time, but I don't know if that is something that can be fixed other than removing one HDD before loading Retroarch.

First post states

If using CBHC, make sure to read the thread carefully before installing!

, however CTRL+F'ng for CBHC on the first 20 pages yields nothing, so what is this about pls?

Maybe it's just about the "potential danger" of installing CBHC on a WiiU... Nothing to deal with RA.
I use Retroarch on a WiiU with CBHC and it works like a charm

That's a relief, thanks. Totally not interested in digging through 600+ pages if it ain't needed

Hey folks, Gblues has fixed the analog issues with HID Controllers
https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/commit/78858a9474eefd49282691286c4f520315b9fd98

== DETAILS

File this one under "I'm not sure how this ever worked."

I mean, it did (in 1.8.8). I'm not sure what changed, but ultimately what I did was
a bunch of comparative testing against 1.8.8:

- I confirmed the packet data was still being read successfully
- I confirmed that the axis value being passed into pad->get_axis() had
not changed
- I confirmed the work done in `gamepad_read_axis_data()` was working the same
between 1.8.8 and master

With the only difference between 1.8.8 and current being the return value from
`gamepad_read_axis_data()`, I just rewrote the method to work properly, and
also fixed up the default axis mapping.

I tested this with a sixaxis controller and GCA, configuring the analog-to-digital
control override to use the right stick.

I think it was? I haven't go a Pro Controller myself to try it.

@ploggy Just to confirm, is this the fix that allows us to use other controllers instead of the gamepad in the RA menu?

No , that hasn't been reimplemented yet :/

EDIT:
There is that work around if you turn off the WiiU Gamepad then restart Retroarch though.

The RetroArch channel forwarder for Wii U doesn't work for me
Launching it with CFW (Mocka) enabled results in a black screen. However, launching RetroArch from the Homebrew Launcher works just fine. I tried the channel forwarder from USB-Helper and the download in this thread.. Neither work.
Anyone knows a fix or a suggestion? Thanks.

Sup guys
@GaryOderNichts just released an awesome app that allows you to pair Bluetooth Controllers from other Consoles to WiiU
I just paired my Switch Controller to WiiU and it works perfectly on Retroarch!!
(just remember if you want to use your new Controller to navigate the RA UI you need to turn off the WiiU Gamepad before launching Retroarch)

Hey how can you turn off the gamepad beforehand without the wii u turning off?

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

Is it possible to create autoboot channels for roms and run it with Retroarch?

I just take the WiiU gamepad out of range from the Console until it loses sync then power off the gamepad


About the autoboot Channels for roms.... not yet.
