some more changes:
-completely removed the device ipl rom code, it will now be directly taken from the console
works on both wii and wiiu, already confirmed that.

You said this applies to ipl.bin/font_ansi.bin, does it also apply to font_sjis.bin?

yes, no more font files.

So, since I use this on a Wii, we no longer need these files for the games that require them? If so, then freakin awesome news! I think I'll test Sonic Mega Collection, but uh, I don't think that game will be fixed for some time due to the nature of the issue. It's a very unusual case, as the issue isn't DSP-related and stopped working in 1.83, but locks up when you bring up the Z button menu.

Anyways, the project is seeing wonderful progress :D

I think somebody needs to create a tool that will copy save from memory card and put it where nintendont expects. (I don't know how to do memorycards)

Oh, and I'm still working on that updater tool.

I looked into into doing this but comparing binary diffs of memory card formats I couldn't figure anything out :/

The gameplay locks up but you can still use the menu to exit.

Just for the rec Sonic DX is the only one currently with working audio on its emulated game gear games.

hey, just here to say that Metal Gear Solid the twin snakes (the EU version) on r117 , after the torture part, theres a cutscene where otacon comes talk to snake on the cell and the game freezes there (u can just skip the cutscene when it starts so no problem) but on r120 it no longer freezes.
I read somewhere that there was also a cutscene at the end that it would also freeze so maybe that one no longer freezes :)

Well this is really annoying, i was going to share a save file to see if anyone else would experience this specific error with Code Veronica on v1.120, but the problem seems to disappear when you save. I don't expect it to get fixed without a USBGecko, which i don't have.

Crap, that's what I was afraid of. Oh well, hopefully it'll be looked into one of these days. Must be quite a serious issue if it doesn't have audio.

Mario Sunshine works fine now, including the Shadow Mario levels.
F-Zero GX (NTSC) still freezes when loading Chapter 1
Mario Party 6 still freezes when loading a minigame

And I still can't get Animal Crossing past the Nintendo logo after the progressive scan option screen. I've tried Animal Crossing US, Doubutsu no Mori+, and Doubutsu no Mori e+ and all of the freeze in the same spot.

How long do you wait for it to progress? It can take up quite some time depending on your reading speed.

Left Animal Crossing on for ~20 minutes now. It's not locked up because the exit button combo still works, but it wont progress. All of my ISOs are shrunk.

Edit: Sometimes the exit button combo works, but after 20 minutes it does appear to be frozen.

Who keeps marking Paper Mario as works when it clearly still has battle freezing?


It works for me or, at the very least, I have completed the first battle and saved again afterwards on v1.118 whereas, before that, once those curtains dropped, the game froze. Is it after that point?

    I thought PS4/5 and Xbox One emulation would be kind of easy since they basically just a PC
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    they sorta are a pc
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They haslve dedicated on board chips that aren't tweaked like x64/x32 afaik
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    but its a custom os for both of them
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    designed for only specific hardware
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    so you have to learn to emulate that specific hardware which isn't as easy as you'd think
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It's a locked down Linux distro basically
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think the only custom hardware is to do with the SSD and a security chip
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Probably combined in one chip
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They place married security chips onto boards iirc

    Every games basically cross platform they only have about 6 titles making it worth the $600 price tag
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:

  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    the ps3 used to support installing linux because the cpu was so powerful
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Then the games are $70 and they want to reboot and refresh the same game every year
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    The ps3 was always Linux they just found a way to make it open source
  • ColdBlitz @ ColdBlitz:
    I'm avoiding buying from the big 3 at all atm
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At one point PC game pads where poorly supported, loading a game had setup, it was complicated. Now it's almost as easy as a console.
