if it is still crashing please report it in the issues. as of right now it is believed that commenting out the hid code solves all dsi errors on chain loading. if there's another issue this would be the best time to tackle it too.

I'll do my share of testing this build as well.

No it hasn't crashed yet.. I was just saying its sods law. You say its the most stable ever and then it crashes

So just to reiterate NO CRASHES YET

Guys I know it was probably already covered way back in the thread but how can I run a game like Dracula X Chi no Rondo and what is the best core for those PCE games?

I ran the cue last night in one of the cores and got a dsi screen from the 09-01 nightly.

Thanks in advance

I use Mednafen PCE I believe.
Though I don't know if the latest build of it is working properly right now.

 

[Maxbeta]

So just run the .cue through the Mednafen core should do it?

Yep, it should.
If it doesn't ypu might have a bad dump.

I hyped myself up a bit too lol It's just really good to see Retroarch WiiU get to the point where it is now. That Ribbon animation just sets it off perfectly

You have the bios too right? (syscard3.pce)

The hype is real.
Damnit and I have to wait until tomorrow to try it out xD

 

[Argonitious]

I didn't even know Retroarch was in development for the Wii U.

I can't wait to give it a try!

genesis plus gx has touch screen support for light phaser games it seems, I can move the cursor with the pen but couldn't manage to start a game

I tested out the 1-11 build yesterday with mgba, nestopia, and snes9x. Encountered one crash (Wii U memory error screen) when loading a .smc file from the load content menu. Could not replicate.

Not sure when the import feature was fixed, but the previous two nightly builds I tested (both within this week) now have partial support for generating playlists via folder scanning.

System - Number Added to Playlist / Number in Folder
GB - 3/3
GBC - 3/3
GBA - 3/3
NES - 11/13
SNES - 1/10 (most of my roms are .smc files)

Did you try loading the game from the normal list and not a playlist? And SFC format?

By "normal list" do you mean the retroarch file browser? I've never created any playlists for retroarch manually, everything was done on the Wii U. I assumed these auto-generated lists were called playlists since they are stored on the SD card under the playlist folder, sorry for any confusion. The game that crashed on load was a .smc loaded from the file browser. The only SNES game to appear on the auto-generated list was a SFC rom (not the only SFC rom in the folder scanned).

Yes, the normal browser, and try SFC format, SFC dumps tend to be cleaner.

Gotcha thanks. I'll have to dig through my archives and see if I redumped those titles in SFC. Thanks

You can also get a tool to remove the ROM header, that essentially is what an SFC dump is.

When I add a mame rom to my favorites list, and rename it, it will not play from the favorites list. If I go to the History, and view the before named rom, I'm able to play it.

So I am unable to play renamed roms, this was a feature I really looked forward to, specially for my mame romset.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

And I just had a "system memory" crash when trying to go from the mame 2003 core, to snes9x 2010 core. I am using the latest retroarch, fresh install.

You should set up Playlists rather than use Favourites, with Playlists you get the correct names for MAME Games without having to rename them

Sad you got a Memory Error though.. Was hoping they were finally eradicated for good :/

Unfortunately, they may be a helluva lot harder to completely removed, though AFAIK, most of them are neutralized?
