Thanks for the swift response, i have one more question. Are Famicom Disk System games fully supported yet? I noticed the file extension was on Nestopia's file extension list but the games error upon loading. Does the BIOS need to be somewhere specific?

 

For SDLOAD, you have to format your SD card in FAT. SD card in FAT32 will not be recognised by SDLOAD.

 

Thanks! I didn't know that wiiflow could do such wonderful things. Now I understand why Toadking and Libreretroarch didn't bother to improve RA's interface, Wiiflow already provides a better interface than I could dream of

 

So we are at that point, now with the auto restart after core change and having gotten accustomed to its interface and amazing efficiency, RA is one stop for all Wii emulation (bar PSX,N64, ScummVM & retro lightgun games) in one.

So where do we go from here on Wii? Given the hardware and the fba roadmap, what should we expect realistically?
Oh and just to be clear, this is just an honest question, not a demand or anything as selfish and insatiable. Time is NOT a concern. We have a great gift in our hands it is worth any, ANY amount of waiting period.

Nes cores: FDS support? That is really a minor issue...
Fba core: since performance is maxed out for Wii due to RAM, only improvements i could personally ask IMHO is a full name display for the roms (for example kod.zip would show up as King of Dragons, etc) and maybe IR support (iirc Toaking already did that for SDL mame and works great). That text menu idea that was posted a few posts back was nice, too. That's it. IF neo geo rom caching is possible, that would be cool too, although thankfully most of the big neogeo roms are already on VC or injected.
Mame 0.72: for some roms that elude fba
VBA Next: to be replaced by gpsp core?
Doom core: wider wad support? It is already amazing that it supports so many wads. A pic of working wads directory:


Btw, the latest pack included a nxengine core, would you like us to test it out?

Once again thanks and congratulations on a stellar work so far!

 

I forgot to exclude that one - anyways, Cave Story should work but sound effects are totally screwed up right now. And since some of the sound effects were used as 'drums' for the music, you'll notice the music being incomplete as well.

Another thing is that it's heavily file I/O bound right now - everytime you pick up a treasure chest or enter a new room, it starts reading from files on the SD card - this of course slows down massively.

Anyway, NX Engine will get a major revamp before it's 'officially' released on libretro consoles.

Also, ScummVM is indeed being added to libretro/RetroArch for 0.9.9. Port is already 'working' in a way.

 

Ah, I hadn't realised that RetroArch would support ScummVM in a future release, very cool. Are home computers in the pipeline also? Like UAE for Amiga etc?

 

Downloaded version 0.9.8.3.1 and I can't save dipswitches in Fba core.
I'm trying to turn the blood on in Metal Slug 1 or other things such as Freeplay but once I restart RA all changes are lost

 

Once again some major/minor problems.
Some cps and cp2 games cannot be started or controlled properly (tested with ccpro)
For instance forgotten worlds cannot be started.
Ecofighters cannot be controller properly ( rotating cannon of ship )
Hyper streetfighter 2, marvel vs streetfighter, marvel vs capcom, streetfighter alpha 3, vampirehunter2, vampire saviour, vampire saviour2 and mmatrix only sound with black screen.
Xmen children of the atom error upon loading

EDIT this is probably only a problem using the full fba core.

WHO ELSE IS TESTING???

 

There are also cps1 games in the list.
Here are some games with palet problem fba core:
from the top of my head:
Ultraman - Konami
Surprise attack - Konami
Rollergames - Konami

How am I suppose to control the cannon in ecofighters???

 

You were right offcourse about using the cps2core instead of the fba core, my bad.
But I would would appreciate you looking into the controls.
Thank you.
