PS1/2 Emulator WiiStation - Another Fork of WiiSXRX released

[SylverReZ]

I've a silly question.

Is it necessary to have a BIOS (SCPH 1001.bin) to load games that require it?

Can't I use another one like SCPH-101 for NTSC games and SCPH-102 for PAL games?

Either one should work fine.

Being old, and because I tested at those times:
@CheeseBurgerwithLove: I reccommend you PSXONPSP660.BIN bios, as it's can read PS1 games all region
Other bios are SCPH-1001.BIN (for NTSC-U games), SCPH-7502.BIN (for PAL games), SCPH-7000.BIN (best for jap)

 

[SylverReZ]

SCPH-1001.bin or SCPH-101.bin works best (for NTSC-U games), SCPH-7502.bin (for PAL), and SCPH-7000.bin (for NTSC-J).

Should you experience problems, try swapping out for a different region BIOS. After all, WiiStation isn't accurate compared to most emulators, but I'm sure you'll get the gist of things.

@SylverReZ: I don't understand SylverRez, did you gave same info as I did after 6H and a half later?? With one info less

i see you only have CHD files. Don't worry, i didn't remove CHD support here.

Dyslexia is a bitch. I've read CHD instead of CDD. My bad!

Also, big whew!

Do I need to rename the BIOS in any specific way? When I press SD it tells me that it doesn't find the BIOS.

In your root, wiisxrx --> bios --> SCPH-1001.bin

Please test this new build, thanks

Hi ya. I've just been having a bit of a play with this build and I must say i'm loving the way the fast load is working on the various fighting games I've tested.
The only issue I seem to have with this build is that when I auto load a game through wiiflow I'm having to press reset on the wii to enter the wiistation menu to have my controller set up picked up and then resume game to have working controls.
I wasn't having this issue with the previous build I was using which was dated 10/07/2024. I cant remember the version but maybe the date will help.
Again much respect for your works. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but my settings are exactly the same as the previous build I was using.
I hope this info helps.

My appolgies for wasting your time, Just notticed a previous comment about fully deleating old settings before testing a new build and after doing so my issue is resolved.

Hi all, really enjoying Wiistation here, a whole new life to my wii!

Imho the wii advantages are 240p resolution and lightgun support through wiimote. The only option missing for me now is the chance to turn on/off the crosshair, as you need it to calibrate the gun in some games and then turn it off to enjoy the full experience of aiming.

Somebody knows how to do it? (or if it's even possible?)

 

[Joseito]

Hello guys enjoying Wii station to the fullest, note: idk why but there are some games that don't get the analog and I'm not referring to ~97 games, also is difficult to play strafing games with GameCube controller as you have to press all the way or z and shoulders, and also I'm getting stuttering on some games, and I tried all options and the stuttering continue specially on PS starting screen. Thanks

 

[SmithSmith]

Is there a way to manually switch between NTSC and PAL60 (not PAL50)?

 

[MeXen]

How far are we in percantage to get PS1 emulation done so far?

 

[rexus_pl]

"We" are

Almost all games works. Some have some glitches or minor performance problems, but they're still playable. GPU rendering is under active development (see Github page for details).

I've been using it for a while now and I haven't had any issues so far, thanks a lot for your effort. Not everything I can say is negative about this emulator

One question: what is the difference between simple and gaussian in audio settings?

Gaussian Interpolation is basically the low pass filter added to sound effects and music, same as real hardware, THIS fixes the scratchiness of audio samples in games like SotN and Alone in the Dark 3

Does anyone experience emulator crashes when you exit? I've had this happen a few times. I'm playing Spyro 2 and everything is fine except for that.
Maybe it's because of the memory card's auto-save?

Yes, I’ve always had this dating back to WiiSXRX. It’s like 50% of the time. I’ve never figure it out — is it the game I’m playing? Is it more stable when the forwarder is installed to NAND instead of emuNAND? I’ve done minimal testing.

Funny enough, right before I clicked on this thread, I just crashed while exiting the emulator while I was playing Spyro 1!

Sadly, is just the way the Wii is, you can never be sure.

Well, this may not be a solution but at the moment I don't get any crashes when I have manual autosave enabled and I restart the game once I finish playing.
