Homebrew Official Retroarch WiiU (wip.)

[godreborn]

Aw man, I'd do it by trial and error also. Was thinking of applying your one to something like game gear but then I'd have to have to make sure the buttons line up with this one lol I may look into this easier acquisition of co-ords.

Well as promised... hope this is to your high standards

Nice, thanks for that mate. I'll see what I can find re game gear. The one I posted earlier is good but too zoomed for the screen, no buttons!

I use both of the gameboy ones now and just use the save game override rather than core override. Thanks again Ploggy, love these little things!

I'm gonna ask shaders next, can't find a decent yellow one for gameboy screen like the injects. The ones there are actually very good... Very much like the original hardware but I don't like the motion blur. Just a yellow filter would do it! Any sources for custom ones at all?

 

[ploggy]

Shaders are a SDK nightmare so they cant be shared officially, I know if there are any custom ones out there tho and I have no clue how to make them myself?

Short question, my clean retroarch installation (no roms) is like 25GB - is it normal? the majority is autoconfig folder. its huge.....

 

[ploggy]

No that's NOT normal at all.. The autoconfig folder should take up hardly anything from a clean install.
You didnt download a 25GB file? show what files you have in the folder..

 

[michalt]

Yeah, something got crazy on the way it seems ;-) some examples attached

 

[ploggy]

Heh definitely just for comparison my whole autoconfig folder is 1.12MB lol

There's some funny business going on.. look at your created/modified dates? WTF is going on there XD

Something got corrupted on SD, probably because Retroarch crashed several times on the online updater. I have reinstalled it fully and the total Retroarch size is around 1.4gb, which sounds ok.

That sounds more like it

I need to say its super cool to use Retroarch on WiiU Was playing Sega CD games today without issues

Another question - I have some games that are not visible/added to the playlist (one for Sega CD and one for Amiga). I have scanned all, but nothing. I added those files to Favourites, but would be nice to have all in Playlist. Do you know what is the challenge maybe?

Try doing a manual scan, I've noticed sometimes a automatic scan can miss some roms.

 

[Lostbhoy]

Agreed. I did a manual scan for my Amiga playlist and it's awesome! Can't get enough Dizzy

btw. which core you are using to play Amiga? PUAE or PUAE 2021?

 

[Lostbhoy]

Well the weird thing with that is my retroarch refuses to acknowledge the 2021 core exists if i try to set core associations or even if it asked for a core. It only shows the PUAE core which i what i use and no probs with my small library so far. There a few games I couldn't get loaded or past the initial load screen but I forget which ones now!

If i try to load the core manually it still shows as PUAE att he bottom left of my screen so i just left it where it is incase its actually using it!

 

[ploggy]

Hmm both cores are showing up fine here..
Looks like the PUAE2021 Core is faster then the PUAE Core?
Doing a quick test loading the game 1000cc to the cracktro screen:
I'm getting 41fps with PUAE Core
but with PUAE2021 I'm getting 50fps (93 fps with FF)

@Lostbhoy I think I've asked you this before but do you have the PUAE2021 core info file in the info folder?
Have you tried deleting the cache file in the core info folder?

 

[Lostbhoy]

Don't think so but will give it a try. Not too fussed tbh but will check and report back.

btw. I am unable to load Amiga CD32 nor CDTV games. I have all the necessary roms as the same ones are OK on my Mac Retroarch where all works ok. However, on WIIU one the load it goes to CD32/CDTV starting menu and nothing more happens. It looks like you start the e.g. CD32 without the disc put in ;(

If you've found a Core issue can you report it here?

I've never actually tried to load a CD32/CDTV game.
