Homebrew Official Retroarch WiiU (wip.)

[brienj]

Yeah I built them a while ago Iv'e tried building the newer ones but cant get it to work. I either get one to compile but get nothing but a black screen when testing it or I get a load of errors
It's just beyond my skill level. lol

EDIT:
Here are the libretro.a files for those Emulators maybe @FIX94 or @aliaspider can get them to work with the new updates?

Excellent, I'd try this myself, but unfortunately I still have random problems when making rpx files using wut. I can't even get HBL to compile correctly, and it creates a HUGE elf file to convert to rpx, which won't convert, because it's obviously too big.

lol yeah it's a pain in the arse

I don't know what isn't being said to make it work, but I sure wish it would be shared ...

There are a lot of homebrew apps that could be upgraded to be installed on the sysNAND very easily, if it was shared.

I think for retroarch converting elf to rpx is automatic at the end of the build process as long as wut path is set.

For me I'm not 100% sure where the libfat and libiosuhax files go after I compile them.

Yeah, I haven't tried any retroarch builds yet, but HBL 2.1 can not be compiled from the source code on GitHub, at least not correctly.

Oh, I never tried compiling HBL but I wouldn't hold my breath lol

There's little to no advantage for 2.1 as 1.4 loads RPX fine.

I use 2.1 installed on my sysNAND, but I need to figure out how to compile it, and what is missing from the source code, so I can make a ton of other homebrew apps installable too.

Actually 2.1 Channel is pretty useful when using CHBC.

 

[brienj]

Actually 2.1 Channel is pretty useful when using CHBC.

Or even just Haxchi, which is what I do.

*shrug* I wouldn't know Still haven't set it up yet.

I use Haxchi, not sure what the benefit is to 2.1.

I use Haxchi, not sure what the benefit is to 2.1.

My config is to start Haxchi without a button press which loads sig patching (Mocha), then I launch HBL from the System Menu. Never have to press a button launching anything.

I do keep pressing the A button to load HBL 1.4 from the SD card as a backup though, if I don't want to enable sig patching.

Well, I tried to load HBL then Mocha, but all I got was a menu that I don't know how to use >.>

So anyone else can confirm the config bug or..?

 

[ItsKipz]

This might be a little unrelated, but does anyone who knows about making homebrew apps think it would be possible to make an app to fetch the latest nightlies and put them on the sd card from the wii u itself?

WiiUBru does that with lastest working cores.

I know, but i mean an app that as soon as you run it, it checks for a new nightly, and downloads it automatically. As much as i appreciate the latest working cores, i like to test the nightlies, even when they dont work

Sorry, misread, however, I'd like to know WHY you would want nightlies that didn't work? That's a bit strange.

HBAS always has updates for the latest working ones though.

It does what you say...but I wouldn't say it's a bug. Probably just changed that way when was implementing the USB, and will be updated later to use the configuration directory location later. That's my guess.

Agreed does seem pretty niche to spend time on.
