Hell yes or put them in this thread but either way installable image format needs to happen lol.

Guess the buildbot is royally FUBAR at the moment, as hunter_k stated on the Libretro, no ETA on it being fixed, Ugh, this blows.

Is there a problem with building it ourselves in the meantime?

 

[VinsCool]

Was there even any WiiU commit lately? I don't see what's the point to get newest builds if nothing has changed.

I don't think so, if people have it set up to do so. I believe they were using someone's host, they're gonna find another way to do it automatically.

Just letting people know, mostly, but even if there was, most people wouldn't be able to use it, no, there hasn't been one. Not sure why There's no rush for them to get it up and running since nothing's been added to the commit Wii U-related in nearly three weeks.

I made a misstake and deleted all the cores I downloaded last weekend, and when I go to download newer cores at libretro.com there is nothing to download? Just *.rpx and wiiu.a..... Where is the elf-files?
How does *rpx-files work? How do I start it? Same with wiiu.a-files.......

do you have the homebrew app store as all the retroarch elf files are on it.

*.a files are for recompilation purposes, you don't need them as end user.

So since the builds are paused, does anyone have a list of the working/non-working cores up to date?

@niuus might have a list of working builds last I checked.


Edit: Build bot working again

Guys this is incredible. Thanks so much for that, I've just been playing some Neo Geo, it works super smooth !
Can't wait for USB controls !

Has anyone tried the newest mgba from the homebrew appstore? When I try launching a game it says no cores found?

Try another build of it maybe? I had the same issue with Snes9x from 12-14-16, and it just froze. I can upload the builds that work for me until the recent build is fixed.

I downloaded the latest nightly from the buildbot and every emulator now says no cores found so there must be some kind of error with the latest versions of retroarch.

Yup, I brought it up on the Libretro forums, something is indeed screwy with the recent builds, but then again, there haven't been any changes on Wii U side in three and a half weeks; best to stick with the builds that work till it's resolved.

Yep stupidly I did not have a backup of the last working versions before updating but I eventually got them all back working again lol lesson learnt to backup the working versions in the future.

Yeah, it happens to the best of us, I make backups of the cores I use the most, do you think we should report this on GitHub or let it be?

I don't see any harm in reporting the issue I'm sure they would prefer to know than not know lol I wonder if they broke something trying to fix the slow load times of the rom list if you have loads of roms. Had to trim my snes roms down to about 40 games as any more were taking about 15 seconds to load the list
