Google "third strike fba retroarch romset", you will be linked to a page with the list of the roms needed in the zip package.

Do you know if the zip package has to be called sfiii3.zip?
I've just been trying to execute the folders with the name the folders had when downloaded.
(sfiii3an, sfiiia, 3rd Strike Rom USA, etc...)
I have also tried putting every version of the game together in one zip file, and a chd file in the folder as well. But I'm not sure which chd file is necessary, if it is necessary at all.

(doesn't crash your wii u on exit if using cfw patches)

Didn't know that now, must try it on some of the 3D games. This for injects, right? I'm still a Loadiine pleb because of convenience.

It's strange that they included all these options that they never used. They probably were intended to be edited on a per game basis, but for whatever reason went unused.

Yes. I have injected gta chinatown wars injected into sm64ds on my homemenu. (If you want to play it properly you need a save state with all the 3d graphics working)

At least one option has been used which is the close ds setting for that one tricky Zelda puzzle

Not compatible with Bowsers inside story tho, crashes after a while :(

What game did you inject into? I'd suggest replacing the ROM into Partner's in Time (a similar game) or Spirit Tracks or any of the more recent releases, as they have the most recent version of the emulator.

The game locks up after the during the tutorial battle or maybe it was the first real battle; so far no one has gotten far. We tried Spirit Tracks as a base, no dice. I'd much rather wait until we get a DS core. Heck, it can't even handle certain 3D games without freaking out.

Iv'e injected into multiple roms each work for different lengths of time but they all crash eventually :(
I've tried injecting into the latest DS releases too :(

The DS emulator for VC is only decent, not great in terms of compatibility. Need For Speed Most Wanted locks up the Wii U. A port of DeSmuME would be cool.

I would be nice if it were to happen but I doubt it, there's more chance Nintendo releasing it on vc ;)

Ive already answered this before. The game works fine. See my previous post in this very thread:

As for adding "Redux" into it, I'm still unsure, I want to keep the title screen clean for consistency sake, Redux is just the hack's name just to name it in a particular way xD
Well, it is still a derivative work, so it is weird to have it presented like the original title instead of a complete new "package" (which it is, after all). Anyway, i hope maybe in the future you change your mind! =). It definitely is my favorite hack for a great Zelda title.

Virtual Console emulators do not need to be compatible with anything else than the intended title. Injections are just simple hacks, the fact that it works with any other rom is a nice little bonus, but that's about it. It is pretty much perfect as an official package.

Use 2nd Strike or Third Strike. Arcade games need their original name convention. I would suggest you to test it first with the same version of FBA for PC.

Probably the only way to play DS games on the Wii U forever.

Still, would be nice to have a proper and compatible emulator, don't see that or PPSSPP ever happening, just saying.
It will never happen. BUT, you could step up to the challenge, just sayin'.

People who is interested on DS games, I guess you probably like to see this :)


Scene has come far, definitely.
