So with the newest ps1 emulator Wiistation (fork from wiisxr) I've created an updated Wii U channel for it that also has gamepad support, The download link is in the description of my video :)

Again, huge shoutout to Adam Catalyst who created a step by step guide to using Modmii and TeconMoon's VC injector to create wii u channels for vwii apps. The guide is here: https://gbatemp.net/threads/wii-u-to-vwii-forwarder-channels-ac.618060/

Hello,
Thank you !
Please do that with Yabause too (it's a Sega Saturn emulator on Wii /vWii and it would be amazing to playing it with the Wii U GamePad)

Cheers, this thread has made me realize I should give my vWii/Wii U emulators a deeper look to see if they're all up to date or not. I'm definitely on an older WiiSXRX, I know that.

You will see WiiStation (Wiisxrx-22) is near the perfection ! There is Dynarec CPU core instead of Interpreter.
No update for Yabause unfortunaly... With Dynarec maybe Yabause will be near perfect too... However I make run near perfectly Saturn Bomberman and I make Panzer Dragoon and Panzer Dragoon zwei playable...

Quick follow-up, the channel works great, but will not boot up if you first use overclock (will freeze on a black screen after first entering the vWii), it does work without issue if you don't use overclock. Are you able to make the channel compatible with overclock? The old WiiSXRX channel I had was.

Did you see the FPS without the overclock ? When I see it, it's near 60

Yeah it's nice, but if this can work with overclock, it would be even closer to that 60 at all times. Last version I had was nearly 60fps without overclock, but also improved when utilizing overclock as well.

@MikaDubbz, Don't know if this affects tiramasu and aroma but with my cbhc forwarders, oc only works when installing them to nand.

Assuming the op has applied the oc patch whem building of course.

Well I install all my emulators to my NAND to begin with, so that's not the issue. They just didn't tick the overclock enabled box in the injector when they made it would be my guess. I'll probably just go ahead and make it myself when I have some free time later today.

I haven't used overclock before, so I'm not sure how to do that, sorry

Just download Homebrew Browser, put it on sd/apps and launch it from your vWii's Homebrew Channel.
Make sure you're connected to Wi-Fi and then click the blue icon up, it's for already installed apps.
You can update every Homebrew channel app from there directly. It'll tell you if it's up-to-date or not.

Hello,
I don't know if you had the time to do that (I don't know how to do that), and I don't know if you seen in other threads, but maybe someone made already that, I let you see here :

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages

    It does that when I edit a post.

    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)

    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying
