Homebrew Official Retroarch WiiU (wip.)

[VinsCool]

OK Twinaphex just posted and said we should narrow down the list so it's a bit more manageable.. So my question to you guys is what cores should we prioritise?

I'm thinking Dosbox should be prioritised? @Columbo2811 @Antonio Soler @wicksand420

+1 for Dosbox
A lot of people wanted it, including myself

 

[AmandaRose]

For me it should be

1. Commodore 64
2. Amstrad
3. Msx
4. Atari st
5. Amiga

I have zero interest in dosbox

Cool that's 4 for Dosbox so far. I'll wait for @Columbo2811 @Antonio Soler @wicksand420 to add their suggestions first Since they put money in and then we'll get a list going

Copy all the files in the asset folder and paste it in the media folder the delete you cfg files.

Yes and then start up retroarch again and goto set directories and set assets to media/assets once done I then changed dynamic wallpapers to on then after about 30 secs the background should show. At least that's what I had to do to get it working

 

[wicksand420]

Looks good ploggy, I already did that for the assets folder, do i have to point it to dynamic backgrounds? Ok, i'll try that Marko76, thanks, its hard to see anything on retroarch with white on white

Nah dont use dynamic backgrounds, it just slows the menu down. Actually, you can use the online updater option to download the asset folder directly.

Ok I forgot to say to turn that off after the background shows as I said it was the only way I could get the background to show after switching it off again everything works perfectly.

 

[wicksand420]

I have no way to put my wii u online, I use my phone for internet. is there a way to make the background black so i can see, or even make my own background

The problem most people make is they put the "asset" folder in the media folder of the sd card, but all you need are the FILES from the asset folder and put THEM into the media folder of the sd card

If you just want to see a background for now you can change the "Menu Icon Theme" to do this go to "User Interface" then "Menu" then "Menu Icon Theme" and press Right.. that should change the theme.

I would kinda like Stella and game and watch as my top priority if it's even possible, but it doesn't really matter what order tbh. Not everyone's liking but I grew up with the Atari and had a few game and watch systems.

Fucking thank you ploggy, why cant anybody else say that. That worked right away, everybody else said to move the assets folder into media, they should have said move the contents of the assets folder into the media folder. Thank you ploggy!!!!

Lol, I think we all presumed you did that. Anyway it's all good for anyone else reading the thread with similar problem. Glad it's sorted.

Where's Stella in all this? No one should be sleeping on the 2600.

Unrelated, what's the most stable version we should be using right now if we don't care about the preliminary netplay support? I've reverted back to the 2017-05-22 builds but it seems like FB Alpha is crashing.
