Homebrew Official Retroarch WiiU (wip.)

[the_randomizer]

Stable or nightly?

1.6.7 main, I don't trust nightly builds. The fact the main RPX doesn't even load is pretty serious.

Should nighties be used for bugs? I thought stable versions for bugs. Let me know

 

[Billy Acuña]

You should use nightlies since those are made off the current code on Github.

Newest nightly for WiiU has no cores in it. Only the retroarch.rpx

@Radius4 Dunno if something you put in (I think you said you put something in the wake wiiu files) changed it and its erroring?

Go for nightlies for tests.
Nightlies use the latest available code in Github to be compiled, so if anything screws up we know it is with the latest code in Github and not some commit from months ago.

Well since the changes in the makefile for the wiiu side it updated with no cores. Guess I will wait till that is fixed to try anything else.

I'll check it out, trying to get the keymapper working... not sure why it's so difficult though...

 

[A Plus Ric]

NO worries. just saw it and that you were working on that. figured they were related.

You should hack your WiiU

It's worth it

I have plenty of (more powerful) devices running RA already.
Anyway I think I fixed the build at least.

Keymapper should be there too (hopefully).

Newest nightly I dunno if it has been fixed with the last commit but i dont see that being it but

When you try to set the directory for the roms it Code dumps.


Also Do you have any idea why the main retroarch.rpx might blackscreen when trying to load it from HBL? I know before it had a config that wasn't right. but that doesnt happen anymore. I figured maybe something is going on since its the only one that will not load and just sits on blackscreen.

I actually had a strange, similar problem - retroarch.rpx would dump back to HBL and HBL would then lose the ability to launch anything (yes, really).

Turned out it was a twofold problem - the core directory was set wrong, so it couldn't find any cores. Thus, it apparently fell back on a playlist entry - from my recents, which for some reason were *all* set to cfwbooter. Um.

So essentially it is trying to load a core but can't so messes up?

With fixed it I mean it shouldn't be empty anymore

Hello!

Regarding the black screen problem, I've been in the same situation (with .rpx version, .elf worked without problems), and the only way to make Retroarch work was to run it via Channel forwarder (there are posts about this issue few pages back). I've tried 1.6.7 stable and a few nightlies (around September 15th). Speaking of Retroarch channel forwarder, how do you update Retroarch? Is it enough to update SD:/retroarch folder with a new version (since there aren't any Retroarch files in SD:/wiiu/apps), or there are some additional steps to be done?

Best regards,
Davor

That works. but that channel isn't a forwarder. It loads its own thing iirc. So that doesn't really fix the problem at hand. But since noone really cares to take on any problems right now, i guess there isnt a sense in discussing them anyways. Just load from the outdated channel rpx but have all the cores updated.

Oh, I haven't realized that it's not the same thing. Anyway, thank you for the information.

Re-updated everything, dosbox keyboard controls now work perfectly. My only issue now would be getting a single game working. .lol.

Nice! now that @Radius4 Keymapper works for Wiiu ,we need to implement them in all other computers core
