Hi Ploggy, I didn't look too deep into it, but I got stuck trying to understand if we had any kind implementation of the libogc already in the WiiU "branch" or not. That's where I got lost unfortunately. I haven't heard back from Wiimpathy either. One can only hope someone more knowledgeable takes interest for this as it would be extremely valuable.
It's ok it'll get done eventually, someone will pop up and get it finished :)

The Aroma port works fine for like 90% of the Cores (some fail to compile with the new wut changes and will need per Core work to get working) but the main issue right now is the really long loading time :/
It can take up to 2 mins to load Core from the WiiU Menu to loading the game itself. There's also an issue with Core switching too. But other than those 2 issues the Aroma port is pretty stable :)

This is where the Aroma port is right now.

Nice to see!
Any idea what causing the loading times? I guess I wouldn't matter if loaded from USB or NAND.

I guess so? tbh I'm not sure I'm still rocking Tira exclusively, I only switched to Aroma to test and make that vid :P so I'm not sure all what Aroma can do.. But when we get a fully functional Aroma Retroarch then I'll finally retire my Tira setup lol

OK so I have a new issue no matter what core I use save states no longer work. Trying to make a save state gives a task failed message and trying to load a save state gives a failed to load message.

Weird thing is they worked fine upto about an hour ago and the actual in game saves still save and load fine just the save states are buggered.

You know what I'm going to say :^) works for me lol
I have tried quick saving/quick loading with the latest Pcsx Core and I didn't get any Task Failed error message?
I'd suggest deleting you retroarch.cfg and try again? what Core did you try with?

I tried it with every single core such as snes/ps1/Megadrive ect and save states failed in all of them lol.

But yes your suggestion of removing the cfg file has fixed the issue.

It's really strange the retroarch.fg can be messed up so easily and then cause such random issues. But glad it's sorted ;)

yeah ik there's still working in that port to Aroma of RA Wii U but it's still somewhat buggy, and with bad loading times, like @ploggy explained. But besides that, it is very functional.
Yeah, that is exactly why I was asking since I saw that video and realized that the other message was outdated.

Is it available somewhere to test?
