This disc images is designed to allow loading of emulators and roms via the DIP in IOS.ÂÂRedirection of the calls to DIP can be used to have roms & emulators being read from different medium.ÂÂIt uses a fakesigned partition, so any IOS that is to read the disc must allow fakesigned TMD, etc.ÂÂThere is nowhere other than the TMD that specifies a certain IOS, so whatever IOS the iso is booted with is used for all emulators.
These methods have been tested and are working ( keeping in mind the fakesign stuff )
DVD drive + DVD-r + System menu
WODE + NTFS/WBFS/FAT + System menu or GeckoOS
neogamma beta9 + cIOS249 v20 & 21beta5 + WBFS HDD
cfgloader + cIOS222v4 / 249v20 + WBFS /FAT HDD
UsbloaderGX + cIOS222v4 / 249v20 + WBFS /FAT HDD
* When the library was written & tested that mounts the dvd filesystem, I tested with an iso with over 7000 files.ÂÂEverything seemed to work fine.ÂÂIn most cases, the fst is left in memory and takes up space that could be used for other things.ÂÂIts size is derectly affected by the number of files & folders and the length of their names.ÂÂMy iso with 7002 files used ~0.25MB to store the fst, which seeed to work fine.ÂÂI have not tried to push the limit and see exactly how many files can be put in the iso before stuff starts to not work right ( the wii only has so much memory ), but 7000 files seems like enough to encompass cheat files, roms, emulators, gamegenies, and whatever else.
* The iso itself contains 6 executables, and each of those contains a small dol-booter, so there are 12 dols total, and each time one of them starts, it receives the IOS in whatever state it was in when the last dol finished using it.ÂÂIf there is anything left open by 1 or more dols, these things can eventually pile up from switching between dols many times.ÂÂWhile I have done simple testing switching back and forth between the dols, I have not sat down and tried to switch back and forth until something went wrong.
* when started via neogamma, the wiimote does not always work in the first dol, and video mode is sometimes set to 480i.ÂÂAfter loading an emulator, everything works as expected.ÂÂIt seems to be caused by some patch neogamma does and is not caused by anything in this iso.
* using cIOS222v4, and possibly some other versions, the disc check fails; just stick any disc in the drive.
* The emulators contained in the iso are largely written by others.ÂÂI have made changes to the code to to make them work in this iso.ÂÂKeep in mind that these are modifications of the original work.ÂÂAny bugs encountered in these emulators should probably not be reported to their creators, as I have changed enough code that the bug may be my fault.
* Most of the emulators use an argument given at startup to determine where they were loaded from, and then try to use that argument to decide where to save/load settings.ÂÂIf you press the "A" button to start one, an argument will be sent telling the program that it was loaded from the SD card, and it will then try to use the SD card to load settings.ÂÂIf you press "1" ( "Y" on GC/CC ) the program will be told that it was started from the USB drive, and try to load its settings from there.ÂÂUsing the "alt-dol" trick should work to start individual dols, but it does not pass any arguments, so things might now work as expected.
* Since fakesigning is required to create the partition, the "sane IOS" check has been removed from some emulators.ÂÂIf the user has some stupid stuff going on in their IOS, I believe it to be their fault if anything unexpected happens because of this.
* The disc is made possible by open-source software.ÂÂIt is used in the executables as well as used to assemble the disc image.
* CHEATS!!ÂÂI spent a good bit of time messing with the cheat stuff in this iso.ÂÂIt includes things like allowing cheats to be loaded from the iso, creating new formats for cheats, converting existing codes into the new format, adding support for these cheats, and building a cheater menu in the sega emulator.ÂÂIncluded are 726 NES, 289 sega, and 898 SNES cheat files with ~30,000 codes.ÂÂObviously I didn't test them all.ÂÂI have only spot tested these cheats and so far they seem to work.ÂÂAlso changed is the ability to load gamegenie roms from the iso.ÂÂIf you have a NES game genie rom, place it at "dvd:/fcuegx/gg.rom", and place the sega one at "dvd:/genplus/ggenie.bin".

All NES cheats came from the 2010-08-10 pack here http://www.mightymo.net/downloads.html. I just wrote a small program to convert the xml format into cht format.ÂÂCheats converted from gamegenie codes contain "[GGC]" at the end of their description.ÂÂI read that in this emulator, the gamegenie codes are slower to apply than simple address-poke ones.ÂÂI don't know how much this affects performance on the Wii hardware, but if there are more than 1 version of a code, I would suggest using the one that doesnt have "[GGC]" at the end of it.
SNES ".cht" files were provided by XFlak.ÂÂI came up with a new format for storing / loading pro action replay (PAR) & gamegenie codes from a file and displaying those codes in the SNES cheat menu.ÂÂThe codes are stored in ".ggp" files.ÂÂI have converted 16390 codes for 602 games into this format from the BSNES 2010-09-05 pack at the same URL as the NES pack.ÂÂHowever, due to the way snes9x handles cheats, some cheats work initially and then the effect "wears off". http://code.google.com/p/snes9x-gtk/issues/detail?id=53 .ÂÂI have disabled loading of the PAR cheats, but the game genie codes seem to work pretty well.ÂÂThere is 1 small block of code to change to enable the PAR codes if somebody wants to play around with those.ÂÂEven without them, there still are 11106 gamegenie codes for 486 games as well as the ones in the ".cht" files.
Sega cheats are stored in the ".ggp" format as well.ÂÂI converted a collection that claimed to be the complete official game-genie book from galoob, as well as a good bit from http://www.gscentral.org. This came out to be ~15,000 codes for 684 games.ÂÂCodes had obviously been typed by hand and copy/pasted a few times, so it is likely erroroneous in several places.ÂÂI did some random testing, and most of them work as expected.<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->
