Will there be a Wii-U core for Retroarch for PC version?

[SalmonSammun]

I believe the current Wii U emulator, Cemu, is closed-source, though I may be wrong.

It's a shame, though, as I'd love a Cemu fork for the Libretro API. Still, the fact that we have a decent Wii U emulator at all is a blessing.

This is true it is a blessing. However I do hope one day we can have it on RetroArch. Thanks

A pitty cuz MK8 runs great on cemu

There are two Wii U emulators in development.
Cemu, the most powerful, is closed source, so that is an automatic no.
Decaf, which is open source, is still quite low in compatibility and speed.

That sounds like a start at least. Hopefully they will be good later on to be included into Retroarch.

Nice, what I'm going to do with this Smash Bros for Wii U CD now?...Well, since Wii U is not coming to Retroarch, I'm going to sell it

Your computer won't be able to directly read the disc anyways because Nintendo used their own proprietary format.

Would be a interesting subject to make any console game on a Dvd or Blu-Ray as a backup and be readable on retroarch. They did implement reading some console games that are original. More consoles to be supported later.

Yup, Nintendo's disc-based platforms are proprietary. Interestingly, they use DVD & Blu-ray technology, but never licensed the standards from the DVD forum and whomever held the Blu-ray ones, which is why you don't see DVD logos on Gamecube or Wii games (but you do on PS2 and Xbox). There's software you can run on a hacked Wii to copy your games onto a USB drive, which works in Dolphin. Every bit of this is 100% legal in the USA.

So I'm sure it's the same sort of thing with the Wii U, in that you'll need a hacked Wii U to rip your own games.

check out steam rom manager. you can run retroarch thru it for all your emulators but also steam rom manager has parsecs for wii/wiiu/ps2/ps3/switch/xbox/xbox360

That is only the first step in the journey; it must be ported to libretro if you want to see it in RetroArch.

libretro is a distinct API designed to be an abstraction layer over the underlying OS and hardware.

When I first knew about cemu I was very excited but now that I know yuzu and ryujinx I don't care about it anymore and want those instead.
