There's no option to load 32X games, and when I try to load one with any of the other options I just get an error message. Does it not support 32x games or am I just stupid?

On a related note, is there a way to separate my roms so that, for example, it doesn't show Master System games when I select "Load Genesis game" and vise versa?

It doesn't support sega 32x games and supposedly the wii can't handle sega 32x emulation in general.
If you want a somewhat easy to hack console that can emulate sega 32x games then the original xbox can play them.
As for the 2nd question, i think i never had that issue becuase i separate my roms in folders based on systems.

xbox can play them but most 32x games that use "3d" like graphics run like ass unfortunely so up to now i dont think any console has a fully working 32x support, i mean only32x sprite games work fullspeed.

Out of curiosity, is there a specific game that is a "must-play" for 32X, or are you just after a complete set of retro-SEGA games?

Aw snap, I must have missed this memo. Finally i can get Knuckles Chaotix on my Wii U!
Edit: well I just tried Chaotix in Retroarch on Wii U and it crashed trying to load the game. Wonder if only the regular Wii build can handle 32X at this time? Pretty dumb if true.
I tested Knuckles' Chaotix (SEGA 32X) with this original Wii version of PicoDrive core of RetroArch Wii (from Libretro) and it works great

I just tried Chaotix on 1.9.7 stable on Wii U and it worked fine, albeit with some slowdown. It doesn't seem to need a BIOS file either, so I dunno what could be the problem. Maybe try "Browse Archive" instead of "Load Archive" if you were loading it that way before.

Somehow it seems to run a little better on Wii, though unfortunately RA on Wii currently has some (unrelated) issues that make it harder to use.

Ah, to be fair, I was using the latest nightly which wasn't yielding any other issues across multiple other cores, so maybe I was giving it too much credit and considering it a stable release when it really isn't.

    @K3Nv2 Snow Day is pretty fun. My only bitch would be the camera controls, when you move around, say down, you have to move the right stick left or right to get camera to turn and get your view, other than that I like it so far.

    From what people say pvp isn't even worth it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just been playing offline, and they give you a few bots here n there on your team to help battle. I don't think it's as funny as the other games tho, more battle oriented than humor, which kinda sucks, but I'm still early in it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you can find enough for it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Toilet paper is considered the money, you collect and buy stuff with TP, kinda funny. Graphics are def better than the other games tho, I think they used Unity 5 engine.

    @Xdqwerty, Many of them did before colour television was common.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Likely because black and white TV was in-expensive.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It certainly wasn't inexpensive it cost the same as a new car back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    How much did a 1965 color TV cost?

    For example, a 21-inch (diagonal) GE color television in 1965 had an advertised price of $499, which is equal to $4,724 in today's dollars, according to the federal government's inflation calculator.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @K3Nv2, take into consideration how economy was back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah that's why they listed inflation rates
