Hello, I just update my wiiiflow plugins pack from v6 to v12. After that, I tested some doom/prboom wads and most of them were not launching anymore, they just go to a black screen and freezes there. Wii remote just shutdowns

I've launched retroarch through the HBC and did some tests using both the cores prboom.dol (from plugins\RA-HEXAECO folder, available only the v6 pack) and prboom-libreto.dol (from plugins\retroarch-wii folder) and tried to launch some wads. All wads I tested ran Ok with ra-hexaeco, but some of them still goes to a black screen of death using the libreto core (the same ones that freezed through wiiflow)

I compared platform.ini and the plugin I I files from v6 and v12 and did not find anything that helps, and I am not sure if there was new core added or if I did something wrong when copying the files. Do you guys experience the same issue? Can someone help me to run all of these doom wads inside wiiflow again?

@locomia

Can you list a few wads that are not working for you so i can test on my side please?

I have many doom wads so it is possible/likely ill be able to confirm working status.

Thanks my friend.
Well, some of the ones that I remember for now that are not definetly working are epic2, doom 64, alien vendetta, 007 golden eye and plutonia experiment. I remember these because I tested right now, but in other day I tested others and most did not launch

Simpsons is working, of you need more examples I can do more tests within or without wiiiflow

Replace the prboom_libretro.dol with this. This downgrades to RA 1.10.3.

Please post if it fixes the problem. I have found RA 1.11 - 1.13 are very unstable and prboom was updated in the WFL pack recently.

I have recently downgraded a few other RA plugins recently also. I feel like RA hit its compatibility peak between 1.10.1. - 1.10.3.

Thanks a lot my friend, I will download this and test.

I believe this will work, since, in fact, right now I've found the ra-hexaeco option in "select plugins" menu inside wiiflow, I checked it and unchecked retroarch (it's the same issue I was struggling at with neogeo cores some months ago), and now the games worked, but I don't know/remember how to leave it checked by default. So I'm going to replace this one and probably it will work by default. I will post the result here, for sure.

@RunningSnakes it worked! thanks!
I am doing covers for these doom wads and must post them soon

I am now having the same issue with some arcade games, I guess they are mame´s, they are not longer woking too since the update. I noticed that now there is a wiiMame plugin and the games only show when it´s checked, and they no longer show if I check the cores Mame A, B, C etc..
