(cont... get the ball rolling; hope that people will chip in as well.)

The team was quick to mention that supporting them on Patreon is a great way to pad out the bounty wallet, and iirc you can contribute directly to bounties on Bountysource as well. Make of it what you will, I suppose.
That's amazing news! (If it's not April 1st material)
I will surely drop in some money next week hopefully :)

Wait what, this isn't a joke right? Despite it being April 1st? Well, you know I just got paid, and I was willing to chip in a bit to help the Wii U get proper N64 and PSX emulation. This is fantastic news for sure, and money is an excellent motivator :P


Finally, a glimmer of hope for major progress on the Wii U port :D Also Patreon seems to be down for maintenance.:rolleyes:

is there a way to make that any controller control the UI instead of manually going into the input menu and choosing which controller can control the menu?

No, but this Tweet here
https://twitter.com/libretro/status/847771260742488064?ref_src=twsrc^tfw&ref_url=https://gbatemp.net/threads/retroarch-wiiu-wip.447670/page-217

Strongly suggests work is underway for a PSX core for Wii U, as Libretro replied to Quark's query about Dynarec


I don't think that mentions the Wii U port though? But either way, Libretro replied to his tweets, implicating something's in the works, we need to chip in though.

that has nothing to do with wiiu they are just porting a gpu emulation to fix some tiny issues on some games, there is 0 metions of wiiu or ppc, this is a fix for the emulator in general.

Please read that Tweet I posted, Libretro replies to Quarktheawesome's tweet about N64 and PSX on Wii U, they need money for the bounty.

If that's not a response regarding PSX on Wii U, IDK what is.

From what i understood they are talking about making dynarek for the emulator in general not a ppc dynarec, so someone else would need to port the dynarec to ppc codding even after finished which would take maybe as much time as making one in the first place.

Then why did he reply to Quark's tweet at all? Well that's a downer.

didnt you read? he asked if a bounty could be made for psx dynarec on wiiu and they said they first need a "GENERAL" dynarec for the emulator before getting a bounty for wiiu port dynarec, so yeah they are probably making dynarec for windows x86 and such and when its finished(it could take years lol since he said the dynarec is wip and far from finished) is that them it could be ported.

i mean you cant port a wiiu dynarec that doesnt exist on main retroarch version lol, first is first.

So we just need to do our part to chip in then, spread the word on Twitter and other social media and rally as many people who can pitch whenever possible. Money speaks louder than words, well usually lol.

i would gladly throw in 10 euros for a n64 port with dynarec, i dont care much for psx since i have both a backwards compat ps3 for tv play and psp for ps1 portable play so dont care at all for ps1 since i already have 2 devices for emulation on it :P
