The channel works just like the first type of setup where you must load the core then load a rom. It works better if you're a CBHC user and you don't use the mii maker exploit. You'd have to go to system settings to refresh the system's memory each time and remember what you've launched. They just aren't compatible with each other. Also launching Retroarch channel then trying to launch Haxchi would black screen. There's also a Retroarch channel, but I wouldn't recommend it as it black screens if you've launched Haxchi for Homebrew Launcher before. This setup will litter your Homebrew Launcher list with emulators, unless you make use of retro launcher, or rename all the cores to begin its filename with z so that it appears at the end of Homebrew Launcher. Now when you load Homebrew Launcher, you'll be able to choose which core you want like Snes9x2010 for example. This would come with every core so be sure to delete the ones you don't want to save space. If you went with the second type of setup, you would open 'Retroarch_rpx.7z' then drag the wiiu folder to your SD card. You'll have one single Retroarch app in Homebrew Launcher and can load other cores from retroarch's menu by choosing 'Load core' Then you'll need the retroarch app from wiiu/apps/retroarch. It comes with all the cores so you may want to shave off some by deleting the ones you don't want. If you chose to go with the first type of setup, you would open 'Retroarch_rpx.7z', then drag the retroarch folder to your SD card's root. It'll automatically load up with the core you launched from Homebrew Launcher. The second type of setup has you running the cores from Homebrew Launcher indivisually so you won't have to switch cores in retroarch.

This is for users more familiar with retroarch to begin with. The first is the traditional way of loading cores from the retroarch menu then loading a rom for that core. However there are two ways of setting up Retroarch.

Setting up Retroarch is simple, all you gotta do is:ġ) Download the latest Retroarch (Should be a file called Retroarch_rpx.7z with the most recent date)Ģ) Add the XMB menu files to your SD (In SD:/retroarch/media/xmb/ ) I was going to write up my own tutorial on setting up Retroarch, but behold there already exists such a detailed guide with all the info you need about running Retroarch on the wiiu.
