Any idea of what is causing it? Guessing the SRAM might be corrupt but not sure why it worked when I copied it previously. Seems like if I modify the name of the ROM and save files that it might work again though.
Fixed my own issue, using the emulator Reset function worked for both the MSU-1 and regular versions. Good to know

In the OP it lists the input lag as being a frame or less
Hi, do you have the original theme for wii, not vwii. The snes mini eu/USA theme for Snes9x GXIf anyone would like to use it, I managed to make a Wii U forwarder to the Snes Mini EU version (although it should work for whatever version you have) using trudes method.
Overclock patch works when installed to NAND.
Many thanks to @niuus for this mod and themes and also @Trudes for his work on the vWii forwarders
I've tried looking online but I've had no luck
Which theme? The actual emulator or a forwarder?
If just the forwarder I only have the eu version as I'm in UK! The themed emu can be found on niuus github....

Omg, thak you so much
I was not sure if it was a snes mini theme or snes mini themed emulator, thank you tho
Check the first post to see the themed RX options.
It says "1 frame less input lag" which I assume was supposed to mean 1 frame less than Snes9x GX Wii. Less input lag than actual hardware (2 frames) wouldn't be possible with emulation since emulation will always add some degree of input lag.
However I took the liberty of testing it myself using my CRT's scanlines as guidance with a super slow mo camera, wired gamecube controller, and actually found the opposite of the OP's claim to be true - with GX having less lag on average.
Testing Link to the Past, on GX link's sword animation starts 4-5 scanlines after I press the button, on RX it's 5-6.
Testing Super castlevania, on GX Simon's whip animation starts again 4-5 scanlines after I press the button, on RX it's around 5-6 scanlines.
My TV is 60HZ so 1 scanline = 1 frame (confirmed by measuring the scanlines it takes for Simon's whip hitbox to come out, 12 = 12 frames).
On an original SNES there are 2 frames of input lag, so this means GX is adding 2-3 frames of lag on average, whereas RX is adding 3-4.
I just was wanting to know how the input lag was tested for this to get the "1 less frame" number, or if maybe the information is potentially outdated with the current version of 9xGX.
EDIT: hoping this post doesn't come off as pedantic, I appreciate all of the work emulator devs do, and 1 frame of input lag is not a big deal. I just like tinkering with this kind of stuff so I'm input lag testing Wii emulators just for the sake of it.

I've always been happy with the Wii emulators lag response, fighters and platformers alike.
That bullet point comes from a specific commit I implemented to the GX emulator back then (2019), which Snes9x RX was the first using it. It's been 5 whole years of changes, well, 6 if we count the year in which I started the RX family (GX emulators were fully dormant in its official incarnations).
BTW, if you're really serious about non-subjective lag tests, you would need a Time Sleuth:

Would be cool to know that kind of info someday, a la DF Retro.
Hi there!
I recently got into playing Kaizo Mario World hacks alot on my Wii using Snes9xgx, but since the gameplay is very precise, the idea of using an emulator that knocks off a frame of input lag is very appealing.
One question..for all my SNES games, I have created single rom loaders following SaulFabreg's SRL tutorials. They basically rely on a custom meta.xml file that will autoboot any rom you like. This way I can launch all my classic games from usbloadergx the same as all my wii games (complete with box art and everything, very time consuming process)
My question is, if I directly replace all my snes9xgx files with snes9xrx, will everything still work? If not, would it be relatively easy to find a fix, or is there alot going on behind the scenes?
Thanks for all your work! This is an awesome project
Cheers,
Binski

Yep, you just replace the DOL and that's about it.Hi there!

A newer version should be out soon-ish, I have some changes in the oven, tested for weeks and ready. Satellaview is getting an expanded mode, and some other stuff is there too.
Question, Whats the preformance diffrence beween GX and RX? im quite interested
As talked about before, this is finally ready for release in 5.3.0! Compiling and uploading is in process.
Also, just saw another option from an idea that I posted some months ago and @Tanooki16 just picked up for Snes9x-Mushroom: you are now able to disable Satellaview BIOS use, surely something that will allow you to know which games benefit or not when I release the BS-X compatibility list that I created for RX 5.3.0.
So most QoL features are already in place:
* Saving "Super FX Overclock" option. Right now, even though the value is maintained in the config file, it is not applied in-game at next boot, you need to manually select your OC number again for it to work.
* Pressing B in the Main Menu should be able to allow you to cycle between Game List, Settings-Exit button, and the Credits button in the upper corner.
* Y-X-B-A mapped to the Right Analog Stick, like when you use the Xbox 360 Controller.
* Use Mouse in alternate port.
* Use Multitaps (8-player).
* M.A.C.S. rifle compatibility.
* Use Satellaview BIOS if present ON/OFF. (you wouldn't have to rename or delete the file manually)
* Toggle to hide/show the Save SRAM button
Bugs:
* GX / Mushroom / RX: If you press Start/Plus to flip through Cover / Artwork / Screenshot, it will end up opening the game. Press it rapidly/continuously to reproduce the bug. Also triggers with Select/Minus, never found out why. Happens on the Wii U Pro Controller, I think it also triggers on the Wii U Gamepad, haven't played there for a long while.
* Mushroom: activating Satellaview on or off makes the cursor disappear. You have to press right or down to be able to use it again.
Best times for SNES emulation on the Wii and Wii U.
New release is up! (5.3.0)
[5.3.0 - September 28, 2022]
the Satellite's service can be read in its original language now,
as the BIOS embedded font is mostly used for these.
Check the instructions on where to place the BIOS file by reading the new
Satellaview section, in the readme.
[5.3.0 - September 28, 2022]
- Upgraded Satellaview (BS-X) engine to latest Snes9x to date.
This furthers up the game compatibility, by making use of the Satellaview
BIOS. Though the file is optional, you'll want to use it for titles that
make exclusive use of its functions. Some of the titles now playable are:
- BS Fire Emblem: Akaneia Saga (Episodes 1 to 4)
- Chou Aniki - Bakuretsu Rantou Hen
- Konae-chan no Dokidoki Penguin Kazoku Event-ban

- MSU-1 refinements.
- Fix for compiling error.
- Updates for the Spanish language.
- Other tweaks.
- The Wii U Channel is now a forwarder, which means you install it, and then use whatever special build suits your preference, by unzipping it to your SD card.
- Special Logitech F510 Controller for Xbox 360 (use XInput mode) separate build.
- Special Mad Catz SE FightStick for Xbox 360 separate build.

The timing is perfect! If you want the BS-X BIOS disabled is now compatible.
To be tested as usual because I don't have the tools to compile RX, but everything should work fine.
PS: as there is no more room for a button in the menu, I put it in the video settings.

The MD5 and SHA-1 values of the BIOS, whether patched (using BIOS of the correct value according to the project's instructions) or downloaded directly, are different from the ones your README is suggesting.
Placeholder fixed!
Video settings? Shouldn't that be Settings > Menu?

I confused it with FCE (which has the GameGenie setting), with Snes9x it's ok ^^
So it's done (there is even the icon, which you can easily change if it doesn't fit). Test it and tell me
