Homebrew Official Retroarch WiiU (wip.)

[the_randomizer]

@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")

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. :/

Damn, this does not look good for the future of Wii U apps, given that they're gonna use RPX instead of Elf files. @dimok might have insight, IDK.


So now what? Do we just be forever stuck with ELF format?


This really really sucks. *sigh*

In what way does this not look good for the future of wiiu apps?? When rpx works perfectly using homebrew launcher. I have had zero issues with the rpx FBA emulator on homebrew launcher.

I mean, there has to be a reason others have this issue while others don't, right?

Let's just all calm down and figure out a way to fix this error.
I know I'm not the only one, since it seems ploggy and another user (I think) also had this very same issue, although I haven't read anything about if they got it to work eventually or not.

I have already updated the rom.zip from Brain Age using haxchi and wupclient.py and that didn't seem to work, so let's seee what else it could be.

 

[AmandaRose]

Then how is it that people are having this issue with Haxchi? People want to move away from having to rely on the web exploit as having it done via forwarder is much easier. People are getting errors with Haxchi without any solutions. HBL and online hosts have to update each time HBL updates, there has to be a solution to solve these issues.

Yes but it still makes zero sense to say this looks bad for wiiu homebrew when it does work as it should just not with Haxchi at the moment for some people and give it a few days and there will be some kind of fix for haxchi users.

Sorry, just, I hope that this can be figured out, nothing more.

And it will Let's just give it time.
Eventually we'll sort this out.

My problem was I was using HBL 1.4 but not using the newer 551HBL.mp4
If people are desperate to use the FBA 2012 core while the problems with haxchi get sorted, all they have to do is load loadiine.ovh and select the Homebrew Launcher 1.4 exploit then load FBA 2012 like normal

Nah I'm not desperate, I just wanted to try it out with haxchi and see if I could boot up Mame ROMs, but I can wait
I'm all up for debugging the problem.

have you tried to change mlc1 to usb1?

 

[ShadowOne333]

have you tried to change mlc1 to usb1?

You mean putting the rom.zip in usb01?
Unlikely since wupclient tells you the path doesn't exist if you try it in usb and it's not there.
Besides, if that were the case and it i deed went to usb, I wouldn't be able to boot HBL from the injected DS VC

Has someone tried Street Fighter III with CPS3? I can't get it to work

The build I have has:

It's crazy to think that a week ago, only some of the cores were working, but now, holy hell this is awesome

stop the drama and cut the paranoia, why do you have to make such a fuss for a lame bug??

@OriginalHamster you just cannot load dreamcast games with the cps3 emulator, u need a sfiii3.zip

 

[R0B0T0]

- Dip switches working.

Can anyone help with getting dipswitches to show up? Using sf3, I've enabled diagnostics but can't see any related control mappings anywhere.

 

[ShadowOne333]

Dropping by to mention that FBA RPX doesn't load for me with neither haxchi nor running HBL through loadiine.ovh.
With haxchi I get system memory error, and with loadiine.ovh the rpx freezes HBL right when it's about to finish loading up.

Same thing which happened to @niuus a few pages back.

I'll sit this one out and wait to see what happens with upcoming nightlies.

The other cores seem to be working okay, only mGBA seems to get DSI exceptions if I try to boot GB/GBC games.

Updated using Haxchi Installer 1.1.1, Homebrew now works with fbalpha2012_libretro.rpx
I also deleted the save of Homebrew Launcher (Brain Age)

Weird, as that still uses 1.7 Haxchi, so maybe a file got corrupted before and 1.1.1 fixed it.
