Here are the cores that run perfectly on the Wii U -
GBA
GB/GBC
Snes
NES
Snes
CPS1/CPS2
MAME
All run buttery smooth and perform much better than the Wii.
Do you know if the CPS2 core handles games better than Wii? I can't get roms that have to load on top of each other, like Super Turbo, to work on Wii. Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this
IIRC the original wii has problems loading larger arcade roms.. (not enough memory) That's not a problem for wiiu
So yes, the Wiiu handles cps2 games better than wii

That was a Wii hardware limitation, no such limitations exist on the Wii U port.
Yee. I'm not asking for Wii help, just curious if this issue persists on Wii U
edit: thanks, guys!

Unfortunately I really know next to nothing about GX2 so I shouldn't really be trying stuff like that. If XMB can do software rendering I could write a pretty snappy OSScreen driver, but we should probably do it right the first time!Is there anyone with the ability to add in the XMB gui Driver? It would be good to get that up and running on wiiu
Maybe @aliaspider could think about it?
What I could do, however, is dynamic core loading (like on PC). I was actually waiting on XMB to make that happen! Let me know what you guys think about that; I'd have to make time for it but it shouldn't be too problematic, would just have to add support for undefined symbols (cores need malloc too). The code might even be usable on the original Wii as well (it's all PowerPC). I do have quite a lot of projects on atm, and I've just received a console so I can get into hardware (not to mention exams next week!) so there'd have to be some interest. Let me know what you think!

I think I speak for everyone who posts in this thread when I say, If you can do ANYTHING that will progress Retroarch for us it would be great and much appreciated
Also I did ask @aliaspider on the libretro forums about adding XMB menu to the wiiu the other day but have had a reply yet.
Sounds lovely!Unfortunately I really know next to nothing about GX2 so I shouldn't really be trying stuff like that. If XMB can do software rendering I could write a pretty snappy OSScreen driver, but we should probably do it right the first time!

But would you care to explain what exactly is dynamic core loading?
Is it like Auto-detect what core a certain ROM would use or something?
The Wii U version of Retroarch can already run all CPS3 and NeoGeo arcade roms buttery smooth as well which was the main reason I hacked my Wii U.
I gotta have 3rd Strike, SVC Chaos and Jojo in my life. Looking forward to playing some Marvel vs Capcom 2 on Wii U as well someday.

You know how on PC, you start one application ("RetroArch") and then it can automatically load up whatever core is needed? It's that. By contrast, on Wii U, you've got an individual application for each core; so you have to pick what core you want before you pick the game. It also makes playlists pretty impractical.
(As an aside, imho playlists are what make XMB great. Imply from that what you will.)
Hi guys,
Just a quick question, can I use filters/shaders like scanlines or pixelate on wii u version of retroarch.
I am using the latest stable build from here https://buildbot.libretro.com/stable/1.5.0/nintendo/wiiu/
It doesnot give me an option for this although I have it enable in Wii version of retroarch.
Thanks.

I read somewhere that the shaders/scanline features were removed temporarily because they were having problems, but I wouldn't be surprised if it makes its way back soon in a near future build.
Well thank you everyone who donated (including myself, although only 5$ ). Hopefully things will advance.
