I've held off trying out MAME on the Wii so far just because the first time I checked (admiteddly about a year ago) it wasn't very far advanced and most games ran without sound at a very low framerate etc etc.

I just wondered if much progress had been made, and if it's worth giving it a try yet? What's the current status of MAME on Wii and what's the best emulator to use? Is it supporting the classic ROMs like Turtles, Sunset Riders and Golden Axe yet? That sort of thing.

Many thanks for the info!

    eBay is full of them and as long as they don't have Computrace enabled (computer tracking stuff)
    they are great

    The ones that are parts and/or not working are from what I can see.
  • Badcatalex @ Badcatalex:
    companies use them for three years or so
    before they are dumped on the market

    nah you can find lots of working ones if you look carefully

    but it depends on the gen

    I could prob look on a car boot to find any that is cheap.
