So, you made an account just to complain about stuff that you got for free?

Yes

Hello ^^,

I've just discovered how to play online with RetroArch, I'm very surprised how it's easy to do Oo, I tried Super Bomberman 3 on SNES with two Wii U, one with Haxchi and the other one with Aroma, and that works ! Other cores work with netplay with Haxchi version ^^.
I recommande to play online with RetroArch if you don't know that ^^.

How did you do that? Is there a guide?

How did you do that? Is there a guide?.

. Run the game you want
. Press the button Home
. (If you can't see Netplay, press the B button and on the left) you can see Netplay

If you want to be the host :
. On Netplay select host
. Start Netplay host
. In order to know what's your number xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx host, return to Main Menu and select Information, then click Network information
. Finally resume the game, the game restarts (it's normal).

If you want to connect to Netplay host :
. On netplay select Connect to Netplay Host
. Enter the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx number host with who you want play and press start button. The game restarts (it's normal).
(you can see who play with "Refresh Netplay Host List").

Not all core work with Netplay, for example "SNES / SFC (Snes9x)" works ! You must try the core you want and see if it works !

(You can see videos on YouTube, search "retroarch netplay wii u").

Have fun ^^.

So is it possible to play online from Wii U to Wii U via NetPlay?
Is it possible to do this from Wii U with someone playing on PC?
I thought there were still a lot of bugs, like the game sound being out of sync.

Yes, it's possible to play online from Wii U to Wii U via netplay, it's possible from Wii U to an Android phone with RetroArch... I don't know with a PC...
Lastely I've got some latence, but I don't know if it's due to my connexion...

How do you get usb hid controllers working for retroarch (aroma) ?
Can't seem to find any even though I have the configs.

 

[Osakasan]

Wow, so is it finally working with Aroma? Gotta check out that build. The Gamepad is a perfect GB Macro.

 

[ducdreamer]

Goodday to you all
I have installed retroarch from this link. on m Aroma system
It runs but the bluemsx still takes minutes to load a game.
Is there a setting i must adjust or
is the bluemsx libretto not yet compatible with Aroma?
or is something else wrong.

I was hoping blemsx was working to but it still takes several minutes to load a game
is there a fix available?

I tried with retroarch with no luck (Maybe I'm missing something).
But you can use a plugin for aroma like HidToVPad to connect your hid devices directly to the console.
- The aroma ver. of HidToVPad is available on the Aroma Discord server.
- Depending on the controller, you might need to create the config files for it.
- Controller assignment is broken on the current Aroma Retroarch release for some cores, so, turn off all the controllers that you'll not use before starting retroarch.

First Thank you to everyone working on this. I got MKII+ and UMKIII+ running. only problem with those is when I try to savestate on MAME(Midway) it says savestates not supported. Anyone know if / which version of Mame has savestates enabled for MKII?????
A problem I have encountered is that if I have a blackscreen or dump screen it nearly always corrupts RA from starting again, so I am constantly deleting my retroarch folder and having to start fresh.
Would be sweet if we could inject just the needed retroarch skeleton and core and rom and have individual RA injects of games, even better if it that functionality was melded into UWUVCI (perhaps just a christmas wish)
Also I saw @ploggy somewhere on here using RA to play Killer Instinct! not sure it was the Arcade version or not. I would love to know what your rom structure looks like and what core you were using if it was.
Merry Christmas!!!

I don't think MK Plus is supported by regular MAME, it needs its own custom fork.

Killier Instinct arcade won't work, but the SNES MSU-1 arcade mega patch works with the SNES9X Current core (you need to change the sample rate to 32k to avoid choppy sound)

Does someone knows how to make the scumm core detect games? Even with the necessary files it doesn't detect them

MKII plus and UMK3 indeed run on the mame 2003(midway) core on ploggys latest link. Mame2003 won't load it. Mame 2009 will load it but it runs very slow After you patch the rom remove the "p" from mk2p to mk2 and it works just no savestates

everytime i try to exit mame 2009 I get a corrupted overflow screen and it frys my retroarch from starting again. Next time I try to load it black screen....

Is there a way to play PS1 games over retroarch on the Wii U? I didn't feel like scrolling through 700+ pages.

How do you? I tried pcsx rearmed and it didn't work properly. I was unable to download Swanstation as well.

what do you mean "it didnt work properly"?

The latest download of the beta of the Wii U retro work for aroma does play with PSX, you will probably need to set the sample rate to 44100 and have psx bios per documentation. Trying to use your games and bin and cue format.

Don't ask to scroll through... Search for @ploggy about "pcsx rearmed lightrec", if I remember correctly for now

Hi everyone,

Happy New Year! Thank you for the incredible work on bringing Retroarch to Aroma! Has anyone tried using Unicode, CJK, or Chinese ROM file names? They work on Tiramisu but fail to display and boot on Aroma.
