Thanks for confirming. I just updated to 1.8.4 last week so I’m not really rushing to update for minor fixes.Yes playlists are broken for me too.

Sorry not much of a help. Anyway:
-Yes Ozone theme works fine on RA WiiU. I suggest to use latest stable version.
-Shaders indeed require official SDK. Because of that support is limited here in this forum and I too have no idea.
-Sorry about thumbnails and boxart I never managed to make them work. I believe you have to create playlists with PC tools and then copy images folders. I remember a user here, @Retroaussie, that managed to get boxarts and snaps to work on Wii U.
I want to thank everyone who's made this version of Wii U possible, though I have a couple dumb questions about it. Is it possible to brick your Wii U with RetroArch? Like I'm reluctant to mess around with removing games I know I'll never play, and the zip files are so big I don't have a big enough hard drive to rip everything and once, and I'd worry about starting RetroArch up if I missed some vital file. Could either of these lead to a bricked console?
And is it also a bad idea to try adding any MAME games not already included in the build?
Anyway has RetroArch changed media folder assets or something I have latest builds Stable or Nightly Cores dont load Takes back to WiiU Menu and Media folder keeps getting deleted and moves contents outside into retroarch folder.
I'm trying to install RetroArch on my WiiU for the first time and this is exactly what I'm seeing too. I followed the instructions from the OP and installed the Forwarder Channel, as well as copied the retroarch folder to the SD root. But starting it just kicks me back to the main menu. What is this about Assets? Where do I get them and where do I copy them on the SD?
This commit on version 1.8.2. changed the directories to the defaults directory structure of retroarch, ditching the media folder used on the Wii U version. The bios file from this version should be in: retroarch\cores\system. The bios files are working fine in this path with the setup i'm using with RetroArch version 1.8.5.As an example: every retroarch install I've used on Windows or Linux or Vita looks for bios files in /system. But for some reason this version of retroarch wants them to be in something dumb like /media/system. Not only that, but if you go to launch a Sega CD game and the bios file isn't where it's supposed to be, the whole Wii U hard crashes and you have to reboot. In every other instance of retroarch I've used, including on the 3DS, it just fails to load the game and send you back to the menu. It's not a great build of retroarch. But you can make it do what you want if you pay attention to the directories or change them to something you want.
Thank you @CORE that works! And default cores work fine, I may suggest there is no need to modify them.WiiU RetroArch Playlists.
Since People are having a hard time you may need to modify what default Core for each Console however for things to show up just in case they dont.
Simply Use Find And Replace , I Use NotePad++ so things fairly straight forward and easy to modify in case you want to add entries or make edits for entire new Playlists.
Yes. If you plan to install haxchi, there is no risk at the moment to update to the latest version since it's compatible.
This was my experience as well. The Aspect Ratio setting defaults to 4:3 on a fresh install, which results in the menu icons being placed inside the text for that line instead of before it. 16:9 fixes this, but this ratio persists even in cores designed for 4:3, so leaving it on 16:9 isn't optimal either.Are you guys just putting up with the menu being broken (xmb and ozone), or am I doing something wrong?
It looks fine as long as I stick to integer scale off and 16:9. As soon as I mess them about it fucks up the scale of the actual menu (images shift, writing gets bunched up and shifts, highlight cursor isn't where it appears to be, etc).
