Homebrew Official Retroarch WiiU (wip.)

After a restart each core that failed worked fine?

It seems to fail a few cores in and it never fails directly after a restart, maybe a memory leak? I dunno.

Yeah perhaps a leak.
One more thing, are the failing cores giving you DSI errors or Memory errors (160-2260 I think)?

I got a DSI Error after the first lot then 2 160-2203 Errors (well 160-something) lol

Sounds leaky enough
Way too random as well, perhaps after some ROMs being opened the RAM screws up or something, who knows.

Or perhaps the games don't exit gracefully so the ram isnt 100% cleared before loading the next game, then after a while... bam error ?

are you guys getting these errors on specific cores, or randomly?

Randomly for me

To me is somewhat constant with Gen Plus (memory error), but I have yet to test it thoroughly

I just created a thread over in the Wii hacking section to see if I can find out who/how they managed to implement the auto reload the Wii has when it DSI Error's To see if it can be done on WiiU..

Strange. I've been loading rom after rom, changing cores and geerally being a dick with my poor Wii U on Retroarch and got a measly DSI error wich i didn't reported because wasn't able to reproduce it. In fact, i found the 1.6.3 version to be extremely stable.

 

[wicksand420]

are you using cbhc with the retroarch channel or homebrew?

Yep exactly the same for me since 1.6 I have never had one memory issue or dsi issue and I play retroarch daily for a few hours each day and I. Constantly switching games and cores. If it helps I load it with mocha

Haxchi with Homebrew Channel, loading Mocha before Retroarch.

 

[wicksand420]

I use CBHC with the retroarch forwarder and have not gotten errors in so long, i don't even remember the last time it happened.

 

[ploggy]

I use CBHC and boot retroarch through the Homebrew Launcher

I would say load a Core then two roms, then switch to another Core and load another two roms and keep doing that until you have gone through all the Cores you have and see if you get any errors?

I remember there was a theory for causing these was a conflict with CFW and RetroArch, but I remember being able to reproduce the same error even without CFW enabled (for libfat), so yeah, this is quite baffling. I mean, if it were the case, I'd gladly give up CFW, but then again, read speeds.

I have massive romlists so cfw is a must for me. Theres no way I could go back to the slow read speeds.

I still dont know what retroarch is for?

 

[ploggy]

Retroarch is for Retrogaming. For everything above Atari and everything below PS1.

You forgot to mention that : in case of wiiu.
