The former. But only when i finish taking care of Snes9x RX (my main playing emulator) and this one. In the meanwhile... enjoy!

 

[Flo_o]

This is awesome niuus, thank you so much!

 

[justjack]

Looking good. I miss the pallettes from other forks though.

 

[niuus]

New release is up! (1.3.0)

 

[ps3king1336]

can you make VBA RX with cheat files?

 

[vbarros22]

The performance is amazing. Do you have any plan to add support for Wii U gamepad for those emulators?

 

[DjoeN]

Thanks!

Yes! I am leaving that for the last, since i can't test it, don't have a homebrewed Wii U.

There is any chance to add NTSC Composite Filter, scanlines and Swap Duty Cycles. With these 3 opetions for sure this will become my main emulator

About the SDC, already answered here. I'll see later about the other options, need to finish other stuff first.

Could this be added to snes9x too?

Done!

 

[SieKensou]

Hi! Thanks for this new version.
What's the advantage of this version over the official Tantric release?


@Tanooki16 Could you share the fix to add the mapper of the game Magic Kid GooGoo to this release too, please?

 

[DaturaInoxia]

Thx for this fork!

But i have a problem here with aspect rate. When i open fceurx via forwarder channel it opens in 4:3. But when i open its via HBC with aspect fixer it opens ok - 16:9
I get your another fork snes9xRx and its works ok via forwarder channel, so i dont need to open HBC and aspect fixer to get 16:9 there.

Is there any solution? I want to open fceurx via forwarder channel and get 16:9, not 4:3. And no, it is not about option in menu.

Weird error, though it will be difficult for me to troubleshoot it, since i do not have a homebrewed Wii U.

BTW, does it also happen to you with the official GX version? If it does, seems to me that it is the channel that needs fixing.

 

[Tanooki16]

@niuus: here is a zip containing instructions to add the mapper190 (at the request of @SieKensou), and the last palettes of the pack of FBX and those for the VS. System

Also it would be necessary to correct the file Artwok (without "s")
I encourage you to continue your excellent projects ^^

Sorry, that was my mistake - i thought that original GX opens via this forwarder in 16:9. But i checked it now and it do the same thing, only 4:3.
But any other emulator that i have (vba GX, snes GX RX and genesis plus GX) opens in 16:9.
So i realized that problem not in your program, but in my forwarder. So i found new one that works perfect for me here
static.wiidatabase.de/FCE-Ultra-GX-Forwarder-vWii.zip (ONLY FOR WII U!!!)
And of course i need to rename folder "apps/fceurx" to "apps/fceugx" for this forwarder works.
Thnks for your help and for your big work with this emulators!
