Okay, i've tested the 3.3 preview build.

Sadly Star Wars: Dark Forces (i've tested the PAL version) hanged at LOADING screen.
UPDATE: Star Wars: Dark Forces with the newish autoFix works fine (sorry for my stupidity) but only works when i have the BIOS files (SCPH1001.bin) and turn the "Boot Through Bios" option to "No"...
If i have that option in "Yes" the game crashes on LOADING screen, not sure why :P
(This also happens on WiiStation so i will wait for WiiStation to get this fixed before merging into WiiSXRX)

Hot Wheels Turbo Racing works now on this 3.3 preview build, no GFX glitches.

Will test more games and i edit this post.

A game that works better with HLE BIOS?

I think per-game settings soon will be the most wanted feature for such advaced emulator.
The Star Wars Dark Forces game doesn't even boot on HLE, it boots when you select BIOS from SD or USB and turn off the Boot Through Bios option...

Most likely this is not a very good choice of words in the description of the option, which leads to such thoughts that are opposite in meaning:
Literally reading - "Boot Through Bios" = No.
It turns out to something like this - "do not load this game through the BIOS".
And then it is concluded that the bios is not needed here at all.
This is how such heresy, rumors and legends appear.

Maybe it's need to do something with the names of the options. Maybe.

My mistake. Don't boot through BIOS doesn't mean using HLE BIOS.

But that doen't change my main idea - per-game settings is needed :)
you can change the settings in 3 seconds... there arent many afaik the only two settings you would ever change between games would be controller being analogue or standard, because the rest of the settings is just to disable audio or dithering which you dont actually change them at all...

Also i dont know any game that works better in hle over regular bios.

Hi niuus
tried your wii u channel but always leave me back to wii u menu. Ill try tonight a homebrew channel injected and test if works
It was personally tested before uploading, so it's highly likely you didn't extract the zip to the correct location, OR, you're using -FS or Multitap versions, which have a different name on the final folder. But it's pretty easy to fix: extract your preferred WiiSXRX version on the root of the SD card, and check the name of the final folder, which needs to look like this: SD:\apps\WiiSXRX\boot.dol

Soooo... I'm getting black screen after using Fix94's c2w patcher. Lastest release, WiiSXRX-DS version, official forwarder.

Running on Tiramisu.

What could i be doing wrong?
First, Is your directory set up correctly as if it isn't it can cause problems with loading your loader (I believe the folder should be called WiiStation)

It loads fine without the c2w patches though, i even tested with Symphony of the Night playing right until the first save point.
It seems like the patches are fucked up then, you have any other apps that need those patches?

You can also see if there are updated version of the patches

That's a patcher that overclocks the virtual Wii mode on Wii U, WiiSXRX is supossedly compatible with this overclocking and for the DS version it's in fact recommended.

I downloaded the lastest version of the patch from Fix94's github page, and i'm getting a black screen with it while it's not supposed to.

    @RedColoredStars, I also listen to Beck, some of their songs are fine. Only found out about them through Windows Me; you know, that one operating system nobody ever likes?

    i dont know why tv manufactures put the hdmi ports in dumb locations so the cables have to stick out, and then down, putting strain on the ports. Instead of having the ports along the bottom edge of the tv facing downwards.
