Homebrew Official Retroarch WiiU (wip.)

[ploggy]

For IPF I don't think so for libretro-uae , I think it require to build with capsimage support like for hatari (option to build IPF support) .
For AGA untested on wii U but on PC i use uae file like this:
for Aladdin

use_gui=no
show_leds=true
chipset=aga
cpu_type=68ec020
chipmem_size=4
fastmem_size=4
gfx_center_vertical=simple
gfx_center_horizontal=simple
gfx_width=640
gfx_height=420
sound_channels=mixed
kickstart_rom_file=./Kick301.rom
floppy0=./aladdin1.adf
floppy1=./aladdin2.adf

EDIT: BTW diablodiab wrote an good tutorial about using puae. It a very good starting point even with wii U.

Iv'e used your Aladdin example Config as a base on my copy of Aladdin and I get this error?

All we needed was Retroarch to take on the issue, then.

Well, now to wait for it to happen.

Hopfully someone picks it up soon.

I managed to get in game by enabling "immediate blit" but the game is showing bad graphics and is slow.


Oh about the C16/C64 keyboard issue it turns out it was probably my own fault I managed to play a few games last night with no problems

like i said the entire time mednafen needs a dynarec on pc before even considering porting it, one needs to exist so maybe we get lucky and someone actualy writes one in C and porting becomes a thing then.

 

[fatsquirrel]

I haven't updated my retroarch in a long time now. What's the best version atm?

Which needs the framework, which is what that bounty is for.

Just finished to build a little collection of Amiga games, no-intro set, 32gb of crap free adf goodness , then I discovered a site that have those same no-intro adf but individual downloads -_-u

Well if it's stupidity then I share it too because I cant get it working either

After fresh installing Retroarch today, I started it up, played some games and then quit after updating overlays. (thats the retroarch ui right?)
When I exited to HBL and tried to start Retroarch again, I got a error message that my WiiU System memory is corrupt or something like that :S
Whats up with this?

 

[kokkie20]

Maybe here someone can help me, I installed retroarch (Working fine for me)
But i got annoyed by all the "cores" in my HBL so i installed Retroarch Launcher
It is loaded trough HBL and i can see all the cores there, but as soon as i launch 1 core it just boots to the normal wii u menu (Begin screen) instead of retroarch.
Anyone got a idea what i am doing wrong? Also got from a few pages back a wup installer for a "shortcut" to retrolauncher i believe it was? (Was mega download link)
That does the same, just boots back to the normal wii u menu (Begin screen)

How i got my sd card setted up:

Delete your config file, replace retroarch.rpx by whatever core, rename and try again.

You also could try installing RA channel as it boots its own rpx file not the one in apps.

Your folder structure is outdated, RA Launcher (channel) is looking for cores in sd:/retroarch/cores

The retro folder in sd:/wiiu is not needed anymore. Update your cores with latest nightlies, delete your config files, and try again.

 

[kokkie20]

Thank you will take a look at it

 

[fatsquirrel]

Is there a tutorial how to install the Ra channel? I've never installed a channel before on WiiU

Edit: Forgot to say, thank you!!

Edit: Forgot to say, thank you!!

Use WUP Installer Y mod, to install unsigned channel like this you need boot a custom firmware (cfw) in Haxchi intro screen press and hold B button, it will take you back to system menu, enter to HBL again run WUP Installer Y mod.

Channel contents go in sd:/install/channel_name/app_files

"channel_name" can be whatever name.

You can use the channel in my sig, or brienj one, it's somewhere in this thread.
