i just downloaded like 4 emulators today from dcemu.com for wii with DVD support, i was just wondering if you need a DVD for each emulator or i can put a huge collection of roms onto one dvd and use it for each emulator. it'd sure help with freeing space on my SD card it's almost full.

You would need to read any README files that might be included with the emulator. I am guessing that the files would need to be placed in the same manner as an SD card, so you should be able to place ROMs for different systems on it with no problem. Also, I'm not sure if any public emulators currently use the DVD Access library, so your Wii would need to be modified with a drive chip.

just scroll down you'll see 4 in a row (Gnuboy, Hugo, SMS and Genesis Plus). and from what i understand you dont need custom IOS, but then again i'm the one asking the questions here lol so i could be wrong. either way it definatly doesn't require a modchip, i think it's like that Mplayer thingie that was released last week you dont need a modchip to view burnt discs on that either. i know people are against the idea but i hope this means ISO loader soon, i'll buy the games i really want of course but for the ones i dont really care about (like WWE or that One Piece game i want but i dont wanna spend money on)i'll download instead. hey man i'm on benefits it's good enough i've bought the games that i have already.

Those new updated emulators with DVD support require you to install DVDX, that's the hidden channel that enabled DVD-access. If you do have a modchip however, a custom IOS is most likely required in addition to DVDX. Just run the patchmii and it will take of it.

Okay, sorry, I guess that I missed some of the new releases. Looks like some nice changes have been added into many of the emulators. Regarding the DVD, I'm guessing that it is the same setup as the SD card, which I believe is 'genplus\roms'. If that is how it is setup, I'm guessing that the rest are the same, because they were all released by Eke-Eke.

    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s

  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
