Homebrew RetroArch Wii - Updated cores and stuff

[darkanx]

I would pay a million Bison dollars for anyone who could reenable the pcengine/tgcd .cue(or .mp3) audio support in the pce core.

This gives me a black screen when I try this... I have 32GB SD card

I'm using this new build with input remapping and for some reason I can't manually assign left, right, and down on the D-pad. Up works fine but only up works. This is for the classic controller, which I'm using because it won't let me switch to Gamecube controller at all.

Have you tried the 1.0.2 build that was just released on the libretro site?

I wasn't using that but I just tried it and I have the same problem. This is for the Wonderswan core, not sure if the mapping issue is core specific.

I haven't tried it out, but when you updated it, did you delete all config files prior to using it? Try that.

Just tried that, didn't help. Is there any particular reason I wouldn't be able to map buttons to D-pad down, left, and right?

No idea, you'll probably get more help on the libretro forums since that's where the programmers frequent

I Have never used RetroArch or even heard about it untill just now, so its a multi emulator...and they are different/better to Snes9x GX/FCE Ultra GX/Genesis Plus/Visual Boy Advance GX/WiiSX/Wii64? with different GUI menu screens?

RetroArch is a GUI, but runs separate emulators or also called cores. For Snes, it uses Snes9x Next, which is optimized for Wii and runs many games, even the games GX had speed issue with, at full speed, and the tinny audio issue? Gone. For NES, there's Nestopia and FCEU, Nestopia being them more stable, Genesis Plus is also in there, and the real selling point, VBA Next, many GBA games now run at full speed Better than the GX emulators performance-wise

Yes, it gets regular updates. You can also play Neo Geo games which are far better emulated than on GxGeo, you can also play CPS1 games and for the first time on Wii, CPS2 games. The vanilla FBA core can play many non-CPS1/CPS2/Neo Geo games such as Konami's TMNT, Sunset Riders etc.

Mola!, gracias!

Cool!, thank you!

 

[hicandturkey]

Out of curiosity, is it still necessary to name the files for the FBA games by that dumb naming convention in order to get them to run? For example: SSF2, etc...

?? - You have to get the roms for the specific version of FBA anyway, and frankly I can't see you getting them from anywhere where the names have been changed from the likes of 'ssf2.zip' anyway...they're basically named the correct way.
If however you're after the games having their full titles when choosing/playing, then check out wiiflow (Abz masterpiece pack in particular)

 

[hicandturkey]

Yep. I was trying to get Wiiflow to show the full titles about a year ago and it wouldn't work. Sounds like it might be possible now. Thanks, I'll check it out.

It's pretty simple and very nice. basically you just add the plugin numbers and your custom titles to the custom_titles.ini in your wiiflow/settings folder somethin' like this.

Good deal. I guess it's time to start updating my Wiiflow again.

 

[uyjulian]

Figured out why RetroArch wasn't working.
I deleted the ._* files and it starts working again.

 

[epicboy]

So I can get any "lib retro" and use it on the Wii version?
