WinUAE on the WiiU (Amiga emulator)

[Psd99]

hey guys I had a look here:

https://wiibrew.org/wiki/UAE_Wii#Introduction

what I am trying to do is get the amiga emulator to work on the wii u,

I didn't understand the wiki article above, where have I got to put the files for the extract on the SD card and how would I go about actually launching the emulator via the wii u menu?

Hello.

All the files of the emulator goes to the root of your SD card, and since it's a homebrew emulator for Wii, you have to launch it since the Homebrew Channel on your vWii mode.

I don't know how to launch Wii homebrew apps from Wii U Menu, sorry.

thanks for the files

but how do I go about installing via wup? Is this emulator going to work on the wii u or the Wii

 

[Psd99]

Ok got it installed

I now see the winuae emulator on the wii u screen
But when i launch it will restart the wii u?

What to do next?
I do have a lot of dead installs of uae evrywhere tho
Bet it dont help

 

[Psd99]

ok to update

when it gets installed via wii u menu, it goes into the wii, but then says no title tmd

I think that's when it restarts, so im guessing there is a specific way to set uae up with the right ROM and the .adf file
how do I do that then?

The Puae Core for Retroarch WiiU works fine

The Puae Core for Retroarch WiiU works fine

Ah retroarch….. also had a bad experience with that

Despite it taking almost 3 hours to download on homebrew
And it installed

I could not find a way to launch it
From the homebrew menu afterwards
The files were on the sd card though

If you have CBHC installed you can launch Retroarch with the Retroarch Channel.
Retroarch Forwarder Channel - Install with Wup Installer

Retroarch's faster to setup if you download it from the buildbot.
https://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/nintendo/wiiu/



Once downloaded/extracted you can delete any cores you have no interest in if you want to save space on your SD Card
Cores are located in Retroarch/Cores.

Transfer the extracted Retroarch folder to the root of your SDcard

Launch the Retroarch Channel

do AGA games run in full speed ?
last time I checked OCS games (A500) ran fine but AGA (A1200) was too slow (~35-40 fps) ?

Ok i got that forwarder copied to the sd card, go into wup installer and then it says installed but i dont see anything on my wii u menu screen that says Retro arch?



On positive note i did place all of the cores in the apps folder and within homebrew i see a ton load of new emulators… will clean that up
But how would i fix to get retro launched from the wii u menu?

Really? if wup installer says it's installed it should be in the WiiU Menu ??

That's what the Channel looks like ^^^^^^^

You are putting the Retroarch folder in the Root of the SD card right? It wont make the Retroarch Channel magically appear in the Wii Menu but it will allow you to load different Cores from within Retroarch.

You can always load Retroarch from the HBL then swap Cores from within the app

I've noticed it is a little slow with certain roms

Ah my bad i made a bobo
The forwarder only worked on wup installer and as ive not used it much (prefer gx2 installer)

I noticed in wup installer there are buttons u need to press in order toactually install the right thing
I kept getting win uae installed instead lol

Ok should be fine
What i dont get is for puae amiga emulator i got a full range of roms and games etc but where do i need to place these? In retro arch in the config field although i had the .rom files on the sd card
Retroarch just did not see em

 

[Psd99]

So same problem as before
Check this out:

Says it is installed but missing from the wii u menu
I just looked in hard drive and system memory nothing is there

I reckon this could be some type of bug because same thing happened when it took nearly 3 hours to download from homebrew menu. Config file somewhere prob messed up

The Bios Rom files need to be placed in Retroarch/Cores/System and need to be named:


I put my games in the downloads folder (sd:/Retroarch/downloads/Commodore - Amiga
Then Boot Retroarch, load Content, navigate to downloads folder, choose game

 

[Psd99]

Ok the pic isnt the good proof

But it defo installed then nothing appears
Im retrying again
Maybe system memory
