Hi, I'm discovering the joys of owning a Wii in the year of 2026. Better late than never. Been playing the NTSC Virtual Console version of Star Fox 64 a bunch, and there's this annoying audio distortion that's hard to ignore throughout the game, like the audio is crackling. It's most noticable in the end credits. This video I found on youtube shows it off as well, so I know the issue isn't just on my end: (45:56 in case the timestamp doesn't work) I was surprised how nobody online seems to have discussed this over the years. Has anyone else noticed this or similar issues on other n64 VC releases? Is the cause known? Out of curiosity, I did try the PAL Lylat Wars release, and the audio was perfectly fine in that one.

Z-GX by cheloruiz79 https://github.com/hotker79/Z-GX Forked from and based on the great foundation of Seta GX (project still active), by fadedled https://github.com/fadedled/seta-gx Controller support: Gamecube controller. Wiimote. Wii Classic Controller. (there is a bug currently where the directional Down is always pressed). (Fixed in build 20260801) Wii U Pro Controller. (there is a bug currently where the directional Down is always pressed) (Fixed in build 20260801) Notes for Z-GX: App folder: root://apps/ZGX/ Covers folder: root://ZGX/art 128x192 PNG with the same exact name as your game file. BIOS folder: root://ZGX/bios/bios.bin Games folder: root://ZGX/games Games can be CHD or CUE+BIN, the latter is the most compatible, some games do not work on CHD yet. Backup RAM folder: root://ZGX/saves - Since build 20260803B and onwards, 240p mode is enabled by pressing Z+Y (Gamecube controller) / ZL+ZR (Wii Classic Controller / Wii U Pro Controller) on the emulator menu. This will create an empty 240p.txt file inside root://ZGX. It will delete it again when you disable it. Reload the emulator to save the setting and activate it on next boot. - The 4M RAM cartridge is always OFF at boot. Enable it only when your game needs it. Recommended BIOS: Saturn USA 1.00 (most compatible) Controls - emulator game list: D-pad Up/Down = move through the list Hold D-pad Up/Down = continuous scroll (fast) D-pad Left/Right = jump by page A = start selected game B = exit to loader L+R = toggle 4M RAM cartridge ON/OFF Z+Y = toggle 240p for supported displays (Gamecube controller) ZL+ZR = toggle 240p for supported displays (Wii Classic Controller / Wii U Pro Controller) Controls - in-game: Start+Z = exit game back to emulator (Gamecube controller) Home = exit game back to emulator (Wii Classic Controller / Wii U Pro Controller) L+R+Start = toggle sound (muting gains some fps) . Shows "SND OFF". QoL suggestions for Z-GX: - 4:3 or stretched 16:9 aspect ratio setting. - Enable/Disable FPS counter. (it is always enabled) - Sub-folders support. - Long name autoscroll on the list could be a bit faster. (IMPLEMENTED in build 20260803A) - Option to pick any Saturn BIOS file. - Turbo toggle to fast-forward. - Selection of RAM/ROM cartridge type to use. Known bugs: - Toggling the sound OFF hangs the emulator. - Saves are not working. (since 20260729 build) (FIXED in build 20260811B) - Title name on the game list disappears when it finishes scrolling. - Have at least 24 games. Position the cursor in slot 000, 001, 002, 003, or 004, press right to go down one page. Now keep pressing Up like you wanted to go back to slot 014 or further, the list won't scroll, but the names will. You will only notice visually if you have your covers assigned. - When you launch the emulator from USB, games/art on the device will be ignored if a SD card is also inserted with the same Z-GX folder structure. SD will be prioritized. - When you launch the emulator from USB, and there is a SD card inserted without the Z-GX folder structure present, it will DSI crash. - 12 seconds pause before the game starts booting, affects build 20260811B. - Cover files do not load when you start the emulator from a USB device, yet it will load them if a SD card with the files is inserted before emulator launch. (FIXED in build 20260803B) - 240p.txt file is not detected or generated when you launch the emulator from a USB device. (FIXED in build 20260803A) - 240p mode is not working when you launch the emulator from a USB device. (FIXED in build 20260803B) Compatibility list: Notes for SetaGXHibrido (obsolete): Attachments: - Releases so far. - Wii Channel Forwarder, by cmyksoda, for Z-GX (apps/ZGX) - Wii U Channel Forwarder, by ploggy, for Z-GX (apps/ZGX/) and SetaGX Hibrido (apps/SetaGX/)

Hi there,

I hope someone could advise me as to what I need to connect my old Wii Console to my new TV please? I only seem to have HDMI conections on my TV (Samsung Q80 series) and I can't work out how to convert the red/white/yellow connectors. If anyone could show me what I need I'd be really, really grateful.

Thanks in advance,

Rachel

You need a converter, AV2HDMI in order to hook your Wii on that TV.
Or get an old CRT TV with RCA inputs.

If you're super desperate to play Wii on your TV, get the WII2HDMI adapter, but J strongly suggest you to get this device:
