Homebrew Official Retroarch WiiU (wip.)

Did you update the cores?
Be sure to update them and also delete the CFG file as well

I've managed to load it, but now the xmb is white background with white fonts and I cannot find the settings. How can I fix it?

Do Doom, Quake and Neopop work again?

 

[Knight of Time]

I've only tried SNES9s so far on the Wii U, and I can definitely say I'm impressed. Presuming that the Wii U is more powerful than the O3DS when it comes to playing retro games, I was quite surprised to see Yoshi's Island play at full speed which can't quite get up to full speed on the O3DS. I was also happy to see it can play some SNES hacks at full speed (the only one I tried was SMW2+2 by Golden Yoshi, and it plays great on the Wii U). Now, I have a question, will Super Scope support be happening on one of the SNES emulators for RetroArch someday? It would be nice to see it work on the Wii U too.

I got XMB to work by copy the Assets file from my PC versions into the folder sd:\retroarch\media

Quake and neopop don't work not had time to try doom yet

 

[ShadowOne333]

Quake has been broken for a while, NeoPop I can't recall since I don't use it, but Doom should work (I hope).

Why is XMB all white? I copied the assets folder from the PC version to the Wii U/media folder, what gives? Do I have to copy the folder from version 1.50 on the PC to 1.50 on the Wii U folder?

Using absolutely latest nightly. Or do I have to change something in the config?

Check under Menu settings, there's a colour option somewhere in there.

I'm not seeing any such option under Driver config Don't I have to change something in the config? And do I need to use the assets from the PC version of 1.50 or does it matter? A screenshot would be helpful to show where it is.

Remember the CFG files created between versions tend to make a mess of the installation.
Start off with a fresh CFG and see if that helps.

I did, I deleted it and it didn't do squat. I always delete config files and the bloody XMB menu is white. *sigh* I copied the assets folder from PC to the RetroArch media folder, nothing. It's not working for me, at all. I don't know what to do. So yeah, it's a bust.


Do I have to use 1.50 assets with 1.50 Wii U?

Redownload the assets package again.
Once you do, search around in the RetroArch's settings, I know there has to be some sort of option to change the main Menu theme and the colour as well, but can't recall exactly where.

SD:/RetroArch/media, or something to that effect, is the folder it's set to in the config. I'm downloading 1.5.0 for PC now and replacing the assets folder. Well, I eliminated one issue, CFW used with Haxchi no longer seems to crash it upon loading it a second time, using the latest nightly build. So far I can confirm anyway.


Do the files need to be in the assets folder itself, or loose inside of /media?

 

[cucholix]

Can you use the assets from here? https://buildbot.libretro.com/assets/frontend/bundle/assets/xmb/
Also let's say I want apply "systematic" theme, it goes in sd:retroarch/media/assets/systematic
?

The path should be SD:/retroarch/media/assets/ I believe.
I'll check when I get home since I have yet to install the newest cores with XMB support as well.

Are your Custom Icons still available?
I click on the link on your signature but it redirects me to mediafire's Home page.

Aaand the damn XMB menu is still white on white text I honestly don't know what to do now.
Time to file a GitHub report.


Edit: Aha! Thank you so much, I changed the directory and..it...looks so sleek

I have the same problem... how can I fix it?

Double check that the assets is in SD:/retroarch/media/assets, and that the directory is specifically set to that, otherwise, it won't work. XMB has barely been implemented, isn't quite perfected yet, but is still quite responsive.

Spam-loading the menu, app, ROMs, cores, etc doesn't seem to present any issues with stability.

Edit: This may be my new go-to version until 1.5.1 is released

Couldn't run PC RetroArch :c
Is there any way to setup xmb without having it the PC build?
