I managed to get this running on Wii U with a hell of a lot of effort, but it's still running bad.
Is the Wii U just incapable of powering this type of emulated game, or am I missing something?
You install the game with Disc 2, but it then needs Disc 1 to run... here's how I did it.
I first created the 'Autoexec.bat' that runs as DOSBOX starts, mounts both D and E cd drives with both discs in.
It then runs 'Install.bat' and then you proceed to just hit the numeric keypad 'Enter' key until the install goes back to DOSBOX.
It will then delete the 'Groovie.ini' it made on install and copy over my modified one which tells it to look at the other drive with Disc 1 installed.
Retroarch/DOSBOX would only allow me to type numbers & letters on the USB keyboard if 'Num Lock' was on.
I then typed 'T7G' to start the game by holding:
Alt-116
Alt-55
Alt-103
And then hitting the numeric keypad 'Enter' key.
The Autoexec.bat that I created (make sure both ISOs are in the root folder where C: mounts on DOSBOX starts:
@echo off
imgmount d "t7g_2.iso" -t iso
imgmount e "t7g_1.iso" -t iso
d:
install
del c:\ID\T7G\groovie.ini
copy c:\ID\groovie_.ini c:\ID\T7G
ren c:\ID\T7G\groovie_.ini groovie.ini
c:\ID\T7G\T7G.BAT
You will need to run install everytime for some reason as it comes up with an odd error about the soundcard is not present (this is another issue that needs addressing), I can try something soon so you do not have to run install everytime - I will update this if I can find a workaround.
The groovie.ini I altered to groovie_.ini only contains the following changed lines, make sure you have this altered groovie_.ini in the root folder too:
ProgDir=C:\id\t7g\
DataDir=E:\t7g\
Please get in touch if you can speed this baby up somehow, I have altered EVERY setting possible.
Also the keyboard needs all keys recognised in DOSBOX/Retroarch. I have no idea why this would not be supported.
The keyboard does work in Retroarch before the game runs however.
Please help, this would be a great thing to get going and I'm sure this would help many more Wii U & DOSBOX retro gamers!
Thanks,
Ant

We had some technical difficulties this week with the bloody Scart to HDMI converter wondering whether it was going to work or not... it work BRILL before the liveness!!! lol
Anyway... onwards and upwards! WE COMPLETED GOLDENEYE WOOOOOOOO! and we rounded off the rest of the evening with some multiplayer action.
We will be on the Commodore Amiga CD32 next week and we will be sorting out a tie-break scenario of two games.
Tune in to find out what we will do!
Sorry it's been so late updating this, but we are busy hard working lads and I'm literally the only one that edits, does the gfx, sorts out the Facebook page and website in my spare time.
Thanks for being patient!,

As promised; we were back on form this week and only had one minor hitch - we ran into a download issue with Horizon Zero Dawn... We should of bought the blinkin' disc!!
We've also upped our game and are wearing headphones to stop the game audio looping back through the mic and echoing our live performance.
We continued with Goldeneye 007 on the N64.......
Watch out for next week when we play HORIZON ZERO DAWN for the first time...

We break up the monotony of being stuck on Level 7 of Cannon Fodder by trying to complete Golden Axe.
We then go back to Cannon Fodder and figure out how to get past the harder levels.... we think :)
Thanks to Jamie from 'Morgan Just Games' for appearing as a special guest!
