i installed retro arch on wii u, when attempting to launch it, it loads for ever and never actually goes into the app, not sure what is going wrong with it or if i need to install something else, im using the latest version of aroma and installed it using the homebrew app browser
#installed on wii u, cant launch

The official RetroArch builds (including the ones from the homebrew app store) won't run in Aroma. You have to install the Tiramisu environment and run RetroArch from the homebrew launcher.
Alternatively you could use an unofficial build that works on Aroma: https://gbatemp.net/threads/retroarch-wiiu-wip.447670/ (check the latest comments in that thread)

thanks, i had no clue that it wouldn't work. but now i cant get any of the cores to download, can i get any help with that too?
whenever i start any download for a core, it seems to work, but trying to load any core just restarts the app, i may be doing something wrong because i am new to modding consoles in general

you say "now", but I don't know which alternate path you've taken

sorry, i used the version for aroma, should have said that my bad

The Aroma version comes with the cores bundled in. You should NOT be downloading cores from within RetroArch because that will replace them with the Tiramisu versions, which won't work on Aroma

attempting to launch any of the cores, even ones not downloaded by me, which i guess i shouldnt do anymore, didn't work

Are you familiar with RetroArch on other platforms? Just loading a core won't do anything, you have to "Load Content" and pick your rom file (or put them in a playlist)

That's what I've been doing, I am new to using retro arch, but I looked up a few guides as to how to use it and it didn't work
