SNES9X v1.43

Source: TehSkeen.com

Here is a front SD card support for SNES9X 1.43 GX Edition!
Main code added comes from svpe loader, thanks to him.

Rom must be called "rom.smc" and placed in root directory of sdcard.
Go to "Load a Game" -> "Load from Front" to load the rom !

It's a quick implementation based on a unstable code.
So it may crash be warned.

Source will be posted soon.

Works good for me! I was able to run Super Mario All-Stars using it. I haven't tried it myself, but it's also reported that you can save to a GameCube memory card.

Awesome news, shame it's only one rom at a time but it's a start!

 

[Hitto]

great start, can't wait to see more of this... I want, nay, *demand* a snes9x channel!

 

[SpaceJump]

Great improvement! Ecxited to see what's coming next...

Could someone be so kind as to tell me what the directory structure should be for this? I can't seem to get it to load rom.smc no matter what I do. SNES9x loads fine, but I can only get that color demo to load.

Same here. I've tried to get this to work and with multiple ROMs and I just get the Color Demo.

There is a new version that lets you browse for snes roms if you want i can upload it .

 

[Gaisuto]

New version already? Gimme gimme!

 

[THEGREATLG]

yes, upload

 

[Gaisuto]

You're allowed to, just make sure to remember the instructions.

 

[THEGREATLG]

instructions for other links or for gbatemp upload?

 

[Gaisuto]

I mean how to use it and what does what if you can help it.
The instructions for the previous version made no sense.

 

[THEGREATLG]

Ok i've uploaded it to gbatemp as SnesGx Front Sd V.2 under homebrew for other consoles.

 

[Gaisuto]

Alright I found the new version of it but I'm still getting that Color Demo. Any help would be appreciated greatly.

Ok, I downloaded the one from the very first link in this thread (it's snesgx_Front.rar (830.3 KB, 261 views)), and got it to work. This is how I set it up:

boot.elf and rom.smc in the root of the sd card.

boot.elf is a renamed snesgx.elf
rom.smc is just a renamed super mario world.smc

Upon loading the emulator, I went to load new rom, then load from front. It sits for a little bit, then says successful. Any other version I tried before this would cause an error here. After that, I went back and picked play game. Everything was fine from there. I just can't save my game, because it can't mount my memory card.

I also got it to work like PuyoDead wrote: Just put roms anywhere on your SD-Card and choose Load from front and you should be able to browse your SD-Card. The go to Play Game.

The only issue I have is that when my Wii is set to 60Hz everything is red, and on 50Hz everything is normal. Why is that?

These instructions are for vicious1988's second update, and, for the most part, work in the same manner for deletenop's version, which loads "rom.smc".

- First, make sure the ROMs on your SD card are placed in a folder named "roms" (no quotes) at the root of the card. If you are using the "rom.smc" version, simply place rom.smc at the root of the card.

- Next, after you boot the emulator using the Twilight Hack, select "Load New Game", and then "Load From Front". If using the newest version, you will see a list of ROMs. Use left/right to scroll through them, if necessary. On "rom.smc" version, selecting "Load From Front" should simply load the ROM. If the ROM successfully loaded, there should be a message saying "Loading ROM Succed, Press A to Continue".

- After A is pressed, select "Return to Previous".

- Select "Play Game", and the ROM should boot.

- Use Z+R to return back to the SNES9X menu. On vicious1988's second version, you have to select "PSO/SD Reload" in order to be able to load another ROM. I believe that this has been fixed in his latest version (download from here).

Hope this helps anyone having problems. As for the Color Demo, I only got that whenever I loaded SNES9X, and selected "Play Game", without loading any ROMs. I have never gotten the Color Demo any other time.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that there is a fifty character limit, including the .smc extension, on vicious1988's first and second versions (not sure about the third). Maybe that is causing the problem?

Are you using PAL ROMs? I believe that I read somewhere on the TehSkeen thread that the emulator doesn't properly support them yet, but I'm not sure.

 

[Gaisuto]

Alright I did that, it said the ROM loaded successfully. When I hit Play game it seemingly froze though.

*Not this time. Awesome it works! Thanks a ton.

I'm reading on this thread to select "ROM Information" to verify that the ROM loaded, or, after you selected the ROM, to select "Reset Emulator", and when it reloads, select "Play Game". By the way, in case you missed my edit, make sure the names of the ROM files are below fifty characters, including the .smc extension.
