Homebrew WiiMednafen - a port of Mednafen for the Wii

[Bonny]

As some of you sure noticed: you can set virtual boy emulation to 2d and 3d. I tried every 3d-color-combination with my 3D-Red/Green-Paper-Googles (Got them from my xbox360 Batman-A.A. game) but it didn't really worked. Has anyone managed to play a virtual boy-rom in real 3D? What was your settings/eqipment?

sadly I have a problem with double strike
the image keeps on flickering : \
Maybe it's for my pal system? in this case PAL60 will not help?

it's strange because all other emulators works flawlessly in 240p
even in NTSC video mode (I'm on a multistandard crt Sony PVM)

thanks

I think there is a video option specific for Double Strike IIRC. Look through all the video options.

This is not unexpected and is mentioned in the release notes:

*NOTE* Double strike mode has not been tested on PAL Wii systems and as such may not function properly. Further, double strike for PAL-based games (288p) has not been implemented. If there is enough interest, I will look into adding support in a future release.

However, I was under the impression that it would work in PAL60. In either case, if you are interested in helping me test this, I can probably add support for PAL fairly easily. Just, send me a PM and I will send you some test binaries (I have no means to test it myself).

Thanks.

This looks very interesting. However, I wonder if the implementation of an SNES emulator is planned / would be possible? Or was it left because it is impossible (or other reasons)?

Snes9xGx is a good enough emulator, I don't see why Snes emulatiion would need to be implemented into Mednafen.

You are right about that, I just like to have everything in one single place^^ you might call me lazy because of this, but I say I'm just a comfortable person^^

Snes9xGx is a good enough emulator, I don't see why Snes emulation would need to be implemented into Mednafen.

Same could be said for Master System and Genesis... still it's good to have alternatives.
Also I guess having everything in the same app might be nice for people who just want to play various games briefly.

Anyway, Mednafen SNES emulation is based on BSNES, which contrary to other emulators, has never been ported on Wii.
This only makes a good reason in my opinion, even just to test how fast (or more likely how slow) it runs.
That's probably why razored probably decided it was unnecessary efforts to implement it at the moment.
Similarly, Mednafen also supports PSX, might be interesting to see how it compares to WiiSX

 

[the_randomizer]

The performance core of Bsnes is said to be the one that could run on a wii (since it sacrifices speed over compatibility). It could be done, but to what extent I don't know. Byuu would be the one to ask about that though. As far as WiiSX goes, that's another puzzle that's yet to be solved, but could be doable once the next version's released.

I dont know madnafen support PSX this is a big deal, Another PSX emulator in scene its very neccesary, GUI its not needed with wiimednafen DOS style menus its suficient, PCSX-Revolution r84 USB2 Cios202 works good (especially megaman x games only regret more compatibility)

This is an awesome handy emulator, but on NES, when i play Super Mario Bros it does not start with 1-1. on any other emulator or regularly played on the NES, its normal ,but it starts up as 0-1? .... Whats wrong? Can it be a problem with the emulator or by pressing a button accidently?

Get a good rom.

I would really like to see a nicer GUI to this emu (like Tantric's gui)

 

[Yoni Arousement]

I just tried it, and I have to say it performs better than VBA GX. On that emulator, in the game Digimon Sapphire it would go to the ending credits after every level I beat but on this emulator it doesn't which is a good thing in the sense that your Digivice meter doesn't reset.

 

[PolloDiablo]

Digimon Sapphire??? WHAT?

 

[Disco]

Does it run Sega CD games? Or does any other emu for wii run Sega CD games?

 

[Yoni Arousement]

Digimon Sapphire??? WHAT?

I forgot to mention that it's a bootleg game. The audio in that game obviously sounds like a DMG Gameboy game, too.

After a little Googling for "sega cd wii", I don't think SEGA CD emulation will be possible on the Wii, unlike the PC Engine CD.

 

[the_randomizer]

Do think something like bilinear filtering could be added to this emulator?

 

[jtipp3tt]

I think it already has that. Under video options there is a "bilinear filter" option.

 

[Hielkenator]

Digimon Sapphire??? WHAT?

LOL.
I couldnt help notice your excellent choice of games you play!

@ raZored: Excellent work, keep it up!
I hope to see your ideas for Wiimednafen become real someday!
