Homebrew Official Retroarch WiiU (wip.)

[ploggy]

Well, screw me. How do i do that?

There should be a selfhost tut on here some where. Then use these files: https://github.com/dimok789/homebrew_launcher/releases


EDIT: Just use Loadiine.ovh

But the elf can be divided in different cores, no need fba handles every game, it would be fba konami, fba capcom, fba taito and so on...

Still, there might be other cores which couldn't be ran due to the size limitation.
Mame is one of them, I believe it's 20+MB, and the one available only loads Midway games right now.

Same for other emulators which might come down the road, it's better to get rid of the size limitation now than to have to deal with it when more important cores come around.

@Osakasan no need to selfhost anymore loadiine.ovh has been updated.

 

[sindrik]

wow a couple weeks out and the wii u scene exploded... i will use this!

Amazing work OP!
Can get most emus running except CPS3 which just goes back to game selection after selecting a game.
Does it require bios or some kind of setup or something?

All you need is the correct romset

Can you boot rpx from HBL? Or only loadiine?

 

[Billy Acuña]

Just imagine fully FBA and MAME cores thanks to the new rpx format

 

[ploggy]

Another just for giggles, I tried loading FBA 2012 in loadiine just to see if it works.. and it does lol
Absolutely no reason to do this but just for fun.

I'm having the same issue as @AlanLC with the black screen saying something about a memory error when trying to run the FBA core :/
Anyone knows why this might be?

I'm using HBL 1.4 through haxchi.

Thanks a lot, that was the problem!
Never used FBA before so I didnt know it uses some other structure

It wasn't Alan, but @ploggy the one with the memory screen.
Were you able to run it through haxchi? Or anyone yet?

Sorry mate I don't use haxchi. BTW how did castlevania go?

Sent you a PM.

Also, for those interested:
I got Rondo of Blood working.

However, I'm not sure why if I simply rename both the cue and bin files to anything else, they don't boot anymore. I think I might have to edit the .cue file to read the new name of the bin.

If anyone knows how to get the FBA RPX core running through hachi, please let me know!

That's weird though, as it's supposed to work. Maybe try asking @FIX94 or @vickdu31?


This doesn't bode well for future RPX releases for cores that are switched over. Maybe @aliaspider ?

You can never rename the BIN without editing the CUE to reflect the change.

It's kinda rude to keep tagging them in every single question/suggestion...

 

[FIX94]

haxchi uses pretty much the same sd loader as the homebrew launcher, when I did port it I even tested it with spacegame.rpx and it worked just fine so I did not make any mistake on my part, maybe you use an outdated version of haxchi.

I'll reupload the rom.zip just to be sure.
Thanks for the suggestion!

 

[ShadowOne333]

@FIX94 nope, no luck. :/
I downloaded the latest brainage.zip from your repo, put it in the same folder as wupclient.py, ran it with python -i wupclient.py, then proceeded to type the following command:
w.up("rom.zip", "/vol/storage_mlc01/usr/title/00050000/10179B00/content/0010/rom.zip")

The file uploaded without errors.

Restarted the Wii U, loaded up HBL 1.4 (lower left corner says Homebrew Launcher v1.4 by Dimok), tried to load fbaalpha_2012_libretro.rpx but it gives me this screen:

Spoiler

(Yes I know quality could be beter, stupid phone's camera doesn't auto-focus properly)

So I'm not sure what could be the problem anymore. :/
