Homebrew Official Retroarch WiiU (wip.)

Hmmm, do you think PCSX-R, PPSSPP, etc will be added to that ever? I guess that's up to Fix94 methinks.

Possibly. It depends on if someone feels like making it happen.

PPSSPP needs a dynarec and is probably a while off according to libretro I dunno about PS1

Ugh, well, I hope so, the one thing that will make this even more awesome is if better N64, PSX and PSP emulation can happen, I know it's ambitious and maybe even presumptuous, I don't know. I dare not ask anyone directly though, because believe me, I am grateful this is on the Wii U.

What about N64? That one needs a lot of power to run and the Wii U's VC emulation is...just plain bad for N64.

Games tested so far (All NTSC-U)

Final Fantasy VI - perfect/full speed
Mega Man X2 - Full speed/crackling audio
Kirby's Dream Land 3 - Perfect/full speed (A game the Wii struggled with)
Sparkster: Perfect/full speed
Star Fox -Runs too fast, GSU-1/MARIO timing-related? Audio crackling.
Super Castlevania IV - Perfect/full speed
Super Mario RPG - Perfect/full speed, slight audio crackle
Yoshi's Island - Perfect/full speed has crackling audio in intro level, goes away after intro level

I wonder, would this warrant making a wiki? I can start an entry.

More game testing to come

For Starfox, there's an option to underclock the FX chip. Haven't tested it myself, but I noticed it was there.

Virtual Boy core actually was ported(assuming that's what you meant by VB)

Quote from libretro:

Cores like Mupen64plus and PCSX-R will not be a simple case of compilation to get them to work. They will likely require at least a solid month of work, and that's a conservative figure.

Hmm, that is fair enough . What about DeSmuME? Surely that doesn't need Dynarec?

I haven't got a clue about Desmume, but I think it runs crap on anything other than pc?

*Shrug* I don't know, I thought DraStic was based off of Desmume, as that runs fine on Android, well, either way, the Wii U will finally be able handle good N64 emulation for once.

Granted, the only real consoles this has been on is Older Nintendo consoles... So I'm assuming this would work fine, considering VC and it can run CPS3.

I thought drastic was made specifically for arm?

Make sure to disable vsync to fix the crackling audio with some games.

IDK Maybe they could get it running fullspeed, I dont know much about desmume.
But I am hoping for a fullspeed dreamcast port, that would be sweet. It runs really good on 360 so it should on WiiU too

 

[niuus]

Any place to get the CPS1/CPS2/CPS3/Neo Geo cores?

Already tested the SNES9x one, it is great!

 

[the_randomizer]

But wouldn't that cause noticeable screen tearing and/or cause games to run faster than 60 fps? I'd rather wait for upcoming versions to fix the audio, but that's just me

Not that I could tell. Haven't noticed any screen tearing nor too fast gameplay.

Fceumm crashed console when I tried to exit with DSI exception, but hey, again this is still pre-release and for what state it's in, this is fantastic

Also a tip for people who want to boost your crappy game pad sound, there's a option in the audio settings "audio volume level (db)" set that to 12.0.
