Homebrew Emulator [UNOFFICIAL] SDL MAME Wii 0.6.0 - Newer Wiimote + WiiFlow + 10K games support MOD

[SaulFabre]

What Set version of mame Roms is needed in order to work with the version of wii SDLMAME has given please?
I'll try to test it on my WIius (confirmation 0.125?), This to be only 15 games seems weird to me

Nuvalo's SDL MAME needs MAME 0.125 roms in order to work.

I know this version of mame, just like any other version of sdlmame, works with MAME 0.134u4 romset. But I can't find this romset anywhere. I know this website doesn't allow to post links so hint me as to where I can find this romset or pm me with the links.

GBAtemp rules:

NO "warez" allowed (this also includes ROMs, ISOs, WADs, CIAs, etc.)

Also, yeah MAME 0.134u4 roms are nowadays pretty hard to find. But you can rebuild your MAME romsets from any later version to MAME 0.134u4 if you use CMPro MAME romset rebuilder (but you'll need the DAT file of MAME 0.134u4).

Anyways, i tried a 512 MB SD card and still no luck.
Maybe my problem is because im trying to boot Nuvalo's SDL MAME 0.125 on Wii using Dolphin... :v

I dont own a real, actual Wii/Wii U hardware for test it properly.

Thanks anyways everyone for the help.

If that must be the problem, I also tried dolphin and usb and other sd cards larger than 2gb and it doesn't work, it only works for me on a 2gb sd card of the original wii there are many games that work on that version that don't work on other mame

Hi,

For years I've lurked in these forums just learning everything I can about Wii modding and how to customize things. Thanks to all of the information here I am abe to do some cool things with a Wii. I have ever been able to get sdlMame-wii working properly with Wiiflow as we all know the problem with exiting a game when using Wiiflow as the launcher. There are some really great Lightgun games that I like to have access to while still confining everything to Wiiflow.

I have installed the .dol file in the download at the beginning of the thread. I was not able to get Wiiflow to even launch a game. It would seem as to almost crash but then take me back to the system menu. I tried multiple variations of (fresh installs) wiiflow, Mame, tried a different SD, Tried running it from USB, etc.

Finally, I changed the channel. I installed an older version of a Wiiflow channel like star night and everything worked. It worked Amazingly!

Gone are the code dumps and exception errors when trying to exit a game back to Wiiflow. In fact, I was not able to make it crash the system once.

Beyond using an older version of the Wiiflow (.wad) channel here was my process-

1. Rename the .dol file in the download to boot.dol
2. Overwriie the current boot.dol file in the folder - apps/sdlmame-wii
3. Copy the new boot.dol file into the folder-
wiiflow/plugins/mame-wii
4. Rename the file and replace the current .dol file in that mame-wii folder (in my case it was named 'mame-wii' yours may be different.)

In my case all of these files were on my SD Card which is Samsung Evo 256gb Mico SD with a generic SanDisk adapter. To my knowledge it is a SDXC card. I am using a romset that I downloaded ages ago so I don't have a lot of information about hat but I know tht it's always worked with sdlMame-wii except for this age old problem. Your folder names or locations may be different.

Also, I have no updated my cios to the current recommendations. I'm using the most current(old) v10 settings.


Thank you so very much.

Maybe this information will help someone else.

I uploaded my video demonstration with mame 0.6 and 1.1
Download pack on YouTube description

What are the advantage/disadvantages of mame 0.6 compared to 1.1?

What are the advantage/disadvantages of mame 0.6 compared to 1.1?

version 0.6 does not give the dsi error when quitting games or switching from one game to another

 

[mrmagicm]

And the Advantages of Mame 1.1? Can launch more Games?

Any guides on how to do it, please?

Has anyone been able to get a WAD working for this? I have no problem making WADs for the unmodded 0.6 version and for Nebiun's Mame4Wii but WADs don't seem to work for this mod or MAME Wii 1.0, which makes me think there's a bug preventing WADs from working... Using an existing WAD kicks you to the Wii main menu, trying to use the newer dol in the WAD will make the Wii hang on a black screen until you reboot.

Yes please I'd be most grateful! And my apologies to SaulFabreg since apparently the problem was me.

 

[RunningSnakes]

Give me a few minutes...

...forwarders for both Wii & vWii.

Path = apps/sdlmame-wii

Thank you! At first the WADs were exhibiting the same problem but then I noticed the path you specified. The when downloaded, the folder in apps is named "sdlmamewii" - no dash! I added the dash in the appropriate place and your WADs work.

Thank you again
