Oh you're right this core is not packaged into nightly builds, not sure why, the Stella core for Wii compiles and runs great, even better with the glorious 240p mode on CRT Tv sets.

Unfortunately, the original atari 2600 resolution (if there's one 100% accurate) is not well implemented in RA, I tried 480x228 with bilinear filtering enabled and this suited fine for most games.

If you want to test I uploaded my compiled binary here:

240p mode in every retro console emulator is the most enjoyable experience!

Just tested and works good, Now I can see the tires moving on Enduro cars, because in 480 mode they are stopped. Yeah the cars are moving with the tires stopped.

To be perfect now we just need to find a pallete who fits the original colors, because somegames are so bright that i can not even see the score points. That Happens in games like Freeway and Stampede

Mr. @zerofalcon did you have any other good surprises like this, I mean cores from older systems, in special odyssey2 and intelivision? Odyssey 2 emulation in special can be a great help because the only emulator for wii have sound issues and frameratedrops. Intelivision emulation is good enough but the menus are terrible and is not possible to configure the buttons map

Thank you for the additional core! I had a question if anyone can help that is related to 240p. Say Neo Geo needs a 320×224 resolution...is there any way I can manually set it for that core to get that exact resolution instead of picking a low resolution that just appears to look good?

There's an O2EM emulator (Magnavox Odyssey 2 and VideoPac) for libretro, for Intellivision I dont know what core is available, I'll check if both can compile for Wii.

Edit: Bad news :s O2EM cant be compiled for Wii, this core is only working on little-endian architecture systems

Wow. Are there any more surprise cores that i don't know about? I mean, i though that the only ones available were the ones in the stable releases.

There is a game & watch core (simulator), an atari 7800 (aka prosystem), vectrex core, fuse, bluemsx and fmsx (never worked for me) MAME 2003 core, right now I'm toying with it, I want to play some taito games like rastan saga and ninja kids.

These taito games are running normal here. About o2em, sadly, the odyssey emulator that I mentioned with sound issues and framerate drops is a port of this same emulator

With fba arcade? wow last time I tested ninja kids it worked really slow and rastan saga 2 only started with garbled graphics, I need to check again! About O2EM yeah, sadly this core is not compatible for the Wii, maybe it can be compiled but not loading any roms at all, same as tgbdual core (game boy - game boy color emu with linking multiplayer on screen).

Yeah it's working really slow but with mame there's no more slowdowns or lag, too bad it crashes a lot (DSI dumps) with some games.

Incredible! I hope you can succeed, that sound pretty nice. Out of curiosity, that MAME 2003 covers midway games? (like MK)

Yes some midway games runs good while others (mk saga) very slow, same as nba jam. I tried with the Wiimpathy binary file btw

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
    +1
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's always worth a shot
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @The Real Jdbye, I considered that, but i'll have to wait until i can get the eu version in the mail lol
  • I @ I-need-help-with-wup-wiiu:
    i need help with nusspli failed downloads, can someone respond to my thread? pretty please:wub:
