Homebrew Official Retroarch WiiU (wip.)

[the_randomizer]

Your comments have got to be demoralizing for the devs. Why don't you take the few minutes it takes to try the new builds and offer some constructive feedback instead of reacting to other people's experiences (which for all you know are user error and nothing else)?

I only had 5 minutes available to have a quick go and managed to play 4 games from 4 different systems, one after the other, without quitting RA and without any errors. Will test more later on but great work so far guys, thanks for the improvements.

Sorry, I just woke up, I'll try them right away, forget about what I said

The new retrorach.rpx works well for me never had any dsi errors or anything (other than in quake but thats always been there for me)

I apologize once more, I've deleted all config files, gonna test today for sure, this is definitely amazing progress

Which one did you got? I downloaded the nightly that was present in the repositories about one hour ago. The retrorach.rpx didn´t loaded, going back to HBL, so i copied SNES9X core to retroarch directory and renamed it to retroarch.rpx, overwriting the prevoius one. It loaded, but i'm getting trouble when changing cores for the second time. It displays an dsi error message. Already deleted the cfgs and still the same problem.

What I did was
copy snes9x from latest nightly to the retroarch folder (renaming it)
set the default core directory,
boot a snes game,
make save state,
exit retroarch,
and everything worked perfectly

Did all these, except for making a save state. Will try again later when i'm back home.

Did you try with mgba core?

 

[VinsCool]

That's really cool.

If someone could make a pull request to add unofficial cores to the package as well, I'd love them forever

Yep, same here no problems while swaping core, now Quake throw a DSI exception it's something at least xD

Are you using the HBL channell to launch Retroarch?

 

[brienj]

The new build which loads the separate cores depends on being launched from HBL for now. You also have to set the core directory in the settings. I haven't yet tested if deleting the cfg files makes it auto-configure the core directory to sd:/retroarch/cores. You also have to set the core info directory in your settings, and copy all the info files from the latest nightly as well.

Ok, i´m using HBL, but through the channell installed in my home menu. Should I launch HBL with Haxchi to get away with dsi error when changing cores?

Normal Haxchi HBL

I believe he implemented the HBL launching from the non-channel version, so you may have to use that one, I haven't had a chance to test yet.

So to get this set up properly:

Open up Haxchi (hold B for the libfat speed boost), then HBL
Open up the the all-in-one RA app
Set the directories for the core, config the Wii U pro pad, saves, etc
Save config
Exit
Open up app again

Do I have that right?

I simply downloaded the latest nightly rpx files,
Copied them to SD,
Loaded the main Retroarch app from withing the channel version of HBL,
Loaded a rom/content & it automatically found the core that works with that rom

I didnt have to set anything up at all. Switching core's while still in retroarch works just fine too.

Er, I meant telling RA where the directories are, as I don't use the normal locations for the ROMs, saves, etc. Surely, I'd need to do at least that and config the Pro controller.

Yeah well it would be a new/fresh install if your using this new version with core auto loading, So I'd guess you would have to take a few minutes to set that up...

So does it auto detect the Wii U Pro controller?
