I figured it out as well. When Retro Arch Playlist buddy created the playlist the path was SD...…
I cant believe this but the issue was simply the fact that the path SD was in caps. Once I changed it so lower case sd the playlist work without issue.

{
"path": "sd:/retroarch/downloads/Sega - Mega-CD - Sega CD/Brutal - Paws of Fury.chd",
"label": "Brutal - Paws of Fury",
"core_path": "sd:/retroarch/cores/genesis_plus_gx_libretro.rpx",
"core_name": "Sega - MS/GG/MD/CD (Genesis Plus GX)",
"crc32": "3861B809|crc",
"db_name": "Sega - Mega-CD - Sega CD.lpl"
},
{
"path": "SD:/retroarch/downloads/Sega - Mega-CD - Sega CD/Lunar I - The Silver Star.chd",
"label": "Lunar I - The Silver Star",
"core_path": "DETECT",
"core_name": "DETECT",
"crc32": "DETECT",
"db_name": "Sega - Mega-CD - Sega CD.lpl"
},

 

Hi. All the few CPS3 games run fine on Wii U FBA, FBA 2012 or FBA neo cores. Juste use the 'No-CD' versions of roms (i.e sfiiin, sfiii2n, jojoban,...)

32X doesn't work unfortunately I don't know why picodrive core hasn't been ported yet for the WiiU.

 

Is there a way to remap controllers for games and not affect the menu controls every time? Also, every other time I come back to the game I have to remap to my likeness again and its annoying.

I'd like to be able to save my remaps for particular games in order that every time I come back to play the games my remaps take over and it would be ideal it these remaps do not affect the retroarch menu interface controls.

Is this doable?

 

I will try these tonight. Thank you!

 

Does anyone happen to know if the HYPERKIN ProCube works with this? I know it doesn’t work with Nintendont, but is that because it’s vWii (compared to this which is Wii U mode right?)?

 

If it's connected to WiiU as WiiU PRO Controller it should work. Try to configure it under Retroarch Input devices and see.

 

hidtovpad doesn't work with Retroarch (black screen like you saw) and iirc Retroarch used to have hid support built in but was removed because of errors :/ sorry mate.


EDIT: I cant guarantee it'll work but you can try an older version of Retroarch WiiU (before the hid implementation was removed) Try version 1.6.9 maybe? but expect some potential stability errors

 

Umm, its been awhile but I think you had to change the max amount of users in Retorarch in settings/input then enable your adapter in settings/input/user binds (cycle through the user device index till you see your adapter).

also make sure you adapter is connected to the console before you boot Retroarch up.

EDIT: try to change user index on user device 2 first, trying to change user device index 1 may disable your WiiU gamePad controls in Retroarch making you need to delete your Retroarch.cfg to fix

 

Anybody has more info on the arcade compatibility ? Most games seem to crash. Neogeo ones seem to work fine on FB Alpha, but besides that there's a lot of good games that won't work even on FB Alpha (Alien vs Predator for instance)

Also, what is the latest really stable version on Wii U ?

 

A little something:
DOSBox-SVN in "external timing mode" is a lot faster (pretty usable)
