All Wii Arcade Emulators

[Oo_Ice_Deep_oO]

I put together this grid for both review and for documentation here, as I feel it will help answer some common questions. Please if you see any corrections let me know.

Emulator	MAME Rom Set Ver.	MAME Relase Name	Emulator Loc	Games Played	Notes
GXGeo	Unknown	N/A	Wii Brew	Neo Geo	Use FBA – Neo Geo instead more recent, more games, easier to use more stable
FBA – NEO Geo	FBA v0.2.97.29	?	Retro Arch Project	Neo Geo
FBA - CPS1	FBA v0.2.97.29	?	Retro Arch Project	Capcom System 1	MAME Wii plays some of these also, but this is the best emulator to use for these games
FBA - CPS2	FBA v0.2.97.29	?	Retro Arch Project	Capcom System 2
FBA - CP3	FBA v0.2.97.29	?	Retro Arch Project	Capcom System 3	Most of these are too big for the Wii system memory, but there is a method on GBATemp to get the Wii to play these.
Final Burn Alpha 2012	FBA v0.2.97.28	?	Retro Arch Project	Various	Usually the best emulator if available
MAME Wii 1.0	MAME v0.134u3	MAME 2009	Wii Brew	Hand Picked List	2nd Best Emulator and at times better than FBA
MAME 2000	MAME 0.37b5	MAME 2000	Retro Arch Project	various	More compaibility than any of the others, but worse emulation
SDL MAME 0.125	MAME v0.125	MAME 2008	Wii Brew	various	Super slow, MAME Wii 1.0 replaced this one and works faster and better, but with less compatibility
MAME 2003+ Core A	MAME v0.78	MAME 2003	GBATemp (Retroarch cores)	NAMCO-Nintendo-Irem	Note: The 2003 cores are made to work in Retroarch 1.7.8 while the current version or RA as of this writing is 1.10.3 mixing cores does not work well so you may have to choose one or the other
MAME 2003+ Core B	MAME v0.78	MAME 2003	GBATemp (Retroarch cores)	Taito
MAME 2003+ Core C	MAME v0.78	MAME 2003	GBATemp (Retroarch cores)	Midway-Williams
MAME 2003+ Core D	MAME v0.78	MAME 2003	GBATemp (Retroarch cores)	Sega-Data East
MAME 2003+ Core E	MAME v0.78	MAME 2003	GBATemp (Retroarch cores)	Konami
MAME 2003+ Core F	MAME v0.78	MAME 2003	GBATemp (Retroarch cores)	Atari
MAME 2003+ Core G	MAME v0.78	MAME 2003	GBATemp (Retroarch cores)	Jaleco-Eroge

Search for large neo support and cps3 tests it’s a thread by wiimpathy and his work is brilliant. He also did sorted Mame 2003 if you like arcade emulation

Is there a way to sort a complete fba romset by platform? I tried to use different rom organising soft with generated .dat file. But at it best fba emulator is capable to generate .dat with "arcade" subcategory with neogeo, cps1,2,3 etc platforms all mixed. I could not find specific fba neogeo romset to use with wii.


Ok. Finally managed to find some compatible DATs for fba neogeo:

Still haven't found DATs for other platforms.
