Can the zips themselves be renamed to be better? Something like SF2AUS or something is too confusing to understood what the name actually is.
I don't think they can.
I remember back when I was playing around with MAME, the name of the zips have to be a specific name or else MAME has problems recognizing the file.

Ugh, then I'll just remove the ones I don't play as there are way too many in a romset, most I don't care for. Oh well XD
Hey,
maybe some of you have a use case for this.
Retro Launcher
it's a quick mod of Dimoks HBL to keep the many RetroArch cores seperate from the other Wii U Homebrews. You launch it fom the HBL and it opens another instance of it, which is listing the RetroArch cores. You have to put the cores to sd:/wiiu/retro/*. To simply go back to the Hbl, just put a copy of the homebrew_launcher in the retro directory.
Really neat idea . Are you loading this app from out side of the apps directory ? or was that just the way you packaged it... i was going to add to the appstore but noticed your file structure.. this wouldnt work for the store .. ?????
Also , is there a working package of versions around .. save me some time in adding them all to the appstore ..

You mean like from the buildbot? https://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/nintendo/wiiu/
Thank you to you both! I haven't tried to play an arcade ROM in years! At that point, MAME on the PC would play most of the old arcade games, so I never looked into these others. I'll use Google and do some more research on this. I appreciate your help!
The Retro Launcher is loaded from the usual apps dir. It searches in the retro dir for the RA cores. I made a copy of the HBL to the retro dir only to switch back.Really neat idea .

ok ill add this then , does it create the cores directory on install ?
--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------
yes but all of them in one file... i can grab them all individually .. wondered if anyone had bothered to get them all...
You have to create the retro directory manually. Retro Launcher is just a recompiled HBL, where I changed some pathes in the source files and some of the resources.
ok well its here www.wiiubru.com/appstore#retro and also on the app(obviously) , i edited the meta to include this info... as the new appstore is due soon ...
and an individual app will appear like this : https://i.imgur.com/kWWPwdd.png .

noqw for a precompiled bundle of app core.... surely one of ya managed it
Maybe @aliaspider has some insight on that
Maybe off topic, but is it illegal to play arcade roms of games? Cause arcade machines are so rare these days, and it's not like the police would throw you into jail or something.

huh ? im sure you guys have been grabbing them from the build bot page ..?

I don't know, sorry, as far as a core app goes, not entirely sure how it's been done to be honest. My apologies >.>
