Homebrew playing GameBoy romhacks on Wii emu

[IAmCaptPlanet]

there are a few great GB color hacks i'd love to play on my wii particularly,

Super Mario Land 2


Metroid 2
_

on my laptop they look great, but on the Wii, the colors are all jumbled

is there a setting i'm missing.

i tried re-naming them from .gb to .gbc and .gba and that didn't work either

is there any fix to this, or should i just give up and play on my laptop

Are these games that don't usually support color before the hack? The problem is that it's being emulated as a gameboy/gameboy color game, when the color was most likely added using super gameboy code.

I don't know that there's anyway to fix that without messing with the rom/emulator code itself.

 

[IAmCaptPlanet]

hmm, you can force the emulator into Super GB mode, i'll try that right now!


---------------------update--------------------

no, that doesn't work.

anyone know if the color hacked games work in other emulators? on the Wii, i mean.

i CAN'T go back to Metroid in B&W, lol

Unfortunately these types of romhacks are only able to run on emulators specially talored (or modded) for color injecting (or something similar) I remember using the emulator he has used and it's a modded verson of the original VBA which ran these types of hacks. Another example would be MasterBoy for PSP. If I recall correctly, That emulator can run these types of hacks as well.

hmmmm, if VBA plays them it looks like VBA GX would too.

if they do a VBA GX update they should add this in

do they play in that mGBA? is it pretty complete? (does it even play GB and GBC games?)
