    Homebrew Mame 2003 Plus

    Another "a-HA" moment, thank you! I'll have to start a wiki to capture some of these useful but cryptic settings areas.

    Homebrew Mame 2003 Plus

    The Quick Menu on these Wii cores doesn't seem to have a MAME menu option. Nor is there the ability to map that function to a controller button.

    Homebrew Mame 2003 Plus

    Great to see continuing optimizations on arcade cores for Wii, I'm doing some additional testing to see can we get a compatibility sheet going. Question: is screen rotation implemented in these cores? I see that like many recent builds of RA, the screen rotation option (90 degree turns) in the...

    Homebrew Having an emulator boot straight into a rom

    priiloader is what you are thinking of; it can make the Wii boot into homebrew programs off SD card, instead of the system menu. but I'm fairly certain it cannot make it jump straight to VC channels, since those are launched by system menu. I just booted into mine to poke around in priiloader...

    Homebrew Retroarch Unofficial/extra Cores

    Homebrew I think Retroarch is 240p regardless of resolution settings

    OK the main thing is that it works for you and looks good. I can only guess because it's a Sony that it's doing some kind up conversion for the low resolution stuff over component. What happens when you set it to 256 lines vertical?

    Homebrew I think Retroarch is 240p regardless of resolution settings

    If you don't set it to match the precise game resolution, you'll get some horrible pixel scaling issues. That's the experience on the majority of 15KHz true RGB CRT setups which are mimicking arcade specs and what people want to achieve. If it's not making much difference to you, I'm curious to...

    Homebrew RetroArch on Wii - Most MAME ROMs aren't working?

    Actually it seems most of these rom sets are on archive.org now. But agreed ... compatibility is low and it's a large dol when compiled, as has been mentioned, and so leaves little free space on the scarce Wii RAM for game rom code. mame 0.37b5 is much more compact of course, but unfortunately...

    Homebrew RetroArch on Wii - Most MAME ROMs aren't working?

    OK so after more digging through posts I found that some unofficial MAME builds were built and shared out: https://gbatemp.net/threads/retroarch-unofficial-extra-cores.405410/page-3#post-5874339 So I just dropped the MAME 2000 / 0.37b5 core into the matching 1.3.3 official release and works...

    Homebrew RetroArch on Wii - Most MAME ROMs aren't working?

    I know this might be an aged thread but it ranks high on Google search for a compatibility list for MAME 2000 core for RA Wii. Here's a sheet I did for it - it's good for the 1.4 and 1.5 releases. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1y8RbIV_7w1jUZGhbeaHokRNi3-r80Fw8pLoUqJdrLKw/ As observed by...
