RetroArch having issues loading Super Scope 6 for SNES

So I have RetroArch installed on both my phone and my Nintendo Wii. I wanted to play some of the light gun games for the Super Nintendo, as I had never done so before, so I got a couple games so that I could play them on my Wii using the Wii Remote to emulate the Super Scope.

As a test, I tried booting up these games on my phone to make sure that they were working before I put them on my Wii's SD card. I wasn't able to get the touchscreen light gun controls working, but the actual games themselves ran fine.

However, once I put the games onto my Wii, I encountered a problem with the game "Super Scope 6". Whenever I try running it, it doesn't show anything on screen. It doesn't crash the system as I'm still able to go back to the RetroArch menu by pressing the Home button, but the game doesn't load for some reason. This is really strange and I'm not sure what the issue is.

I don't think it has anything to do with the Wii either, since I was able to load and play the other game I had, "Yoshi's Safari", with no problems at all. Maybe certain games aren't compatible with certain versions of RetroArch? I have no clue.

I have not tried out any light gun games with SNES9x GX, I can't even get it or FCE Ultra GX to boot up anymore for some odd reason. Even if I could, I personally would rather use RetroArch due to the higher amount of options/customizable features. SNES9x GX isn't bad, it's just not my perferred method of playing these games.

However, I recently managed to get the game working in RetroArch, so all is well and there's no longer an issue.

I believe I'm using the latest version of RetroArch for Wii, using a specialized .dol file made for Super Scope/light gun games. Although I think Yoshi's Island is one of those games that doesn't emulate 100% well on lower end devices, so perhaps that's the issue? I wouldn't know for sure though since I haven't played Yoshi's Island on an emulator in a good while.

Ah, that's understandable. I'm not all too familiar with what auto resolutions are so that personally doesn't bother me much.

As for the RX fork, I would love to try it out, but for some reason whenever I boot up the standalone emulators they don't work. I tried downloading the FCE Ultra GX emulator (specifically the "1-Up" mod), but it would just crash my Wii.

But I do like and appreciate all the work and effort you have put into SNES9x RX (I really like the menu skins as well) and I'd like to see what other cool features you'd be able to add.

I think it's the newest version, it says I have version 1.1.2. The HBC page on WiiBrew doesn't mention any higher version number than that. And I do have IOS 58 v24.32.

That's really weird. Maybe I'm just being an idiot and downloading bad versions by mistake. I'll try downloading and installing RX again tomorrow to see if anything changes. This time I'll be downloading it from the link in your thread.

Hi again, recently I tried reinstalling your SNES9x RX fork, and unfortunately it still won't boot up. Your FCE Ultra RX fork, however, was able to boot up, and I like it so far. I have a few questions though:

1. Why are the games so quiet? Is there any way to fix this? Also, I have the menu music and sound effects on 100% yet I can't hear them.

2. I like all the different color palletes, however is there a way that you could maybe add the original Virtual Console pallete? (I know that there's a restored pallete, but personally I prefer the darker colors)

Yeah it's really odd. And sometimes even some apps that have been installed for months and have been working fine, such as WiiXplorer, end up not working after a while. Maybe it's my SD card that's the problem? I've had it since 2011 or so, so maybe it's just nearing the end of its life span.

Huh, strange. The games are very quiet for me. And yes I know the music/sfx options in the menu only applies to the menu, but I thought I'd memtion it since I hear no sfx or music in the menu despite having them turned up all the way. A few months back when I had the regular version of FCE Ultra GX, I remember whenever I would press Home, there would be a woosh sound. I don't hear anything in the RX fork.

Thank you, I appreciate it very much

Yeah I realized after I posted that reply that I worded things kinda funny, sorry for the confusion.

Ah, that would make sense. Thank you for the clarification
