Hacking Which are the best emulators for nes, snes, GB, GBA, sega genesis?

[Bryon15]

I'm checking out the homebrew app store. And there are multiple emulators for most of these. Which ones should I use?

Alright.
NES - QuickNES
SNES - Snesx2010
GB/GBC/GBA - mGBA [If you want seperate emulator for GBA then try vba next]
Genesis - Genesis Plus GX
Those work just fine. Save states work.
If QuickNES doesn't work for you then try nestopia.
Have fun.

Awesome. Thanks man.

There's a problem. Save states aren't working for me. When I try to save, the Wii U freezes.

What emulator you're using? Also, did you create retroarch folder in sd://?

What's the best emulator for sega cd on pc? i have Kega but some of the games will load up and start up but when you want to go to main menu of the games they don't work

All of the ones that you suggested. And no I didn't create a retroarch folder. Maybe that's the problem. Do I just put it on the root of the SD card?

Yeah. (Also) Create a folder inside it with name "roms" and insert every rom you have to this folder. It should save state without a problem after you're done.

It worked. Can you tell me if there's anyway I can use my Wii remote to play the nes games? Instead of the gamepad?

What is Snesx2010 ?

What is Snesx2010 ?

Some unofficial snes9x version with some changes. Based on 1.52

I don't think there's a way currently to use other controller than Wii U Gamepad. You can try by pairing Wii Remote in Wii U Menu then going into retroarch and see if it works. (Buttons might need to be remapped, implying if that even works)

I would prefer Snes9x mainline over 2010 as there are some speed hacks that break visual effects in Final Fantasy VI and the like (menu/shop screen having missing Mode 7), but that's my two cents. Snes9x mainline/1.53 runs perfectly and has no disadvantage over Next.

It's a speed hacked version to run on slower devices; the Wii U has more than enough juice to run 1.53 main.
