I wonder, because I have a lot of ps1 games, but I do not have SD or HD at the moment.

Note: My English is very bad.

I'm not sure, but i think that you cant use your ps1 CDs directly on wii. I think you need .iso (or compatible) files, but i'm not sure 100%.
Does the PS1 use CD's or DVD's? IIRC, the Wii can't read a CD at all.

CDs. The Wii can't read CDs, so you need to rip them to ISO or some other format via your PC.

CDs. The Wii can't read CDs, so you need to rip them to ISO or some other format via your PC.
and you better have a BIG sd card or hard drive (can wii sx even use a hard drive?) cos psx isos are HUGE up to 600Mb+!

Or more properly: Lack of progress.


Yeah, the status of those emulators is unknown at this point,, as the authors are extremely busy with real life matter and whether or not they will update it...that remains to be seen. I'd love to see updates as they have a lot of potential, but only time will tell.

I understand people have lives and shit, but it really pisses me off when someone begins a project, people cling for releases, and then the project's creator just gives up. If you start a project, FINISH THE FUCKING THING!!! I learned early on in life never to bite off more than I can chew, and not to rely on others. So when I begin a project, I do it from start, to finish.

I learned that whatever they do is their business and not my concern. Whatever happens, happens, either it will be updated or not. And besides, whenever the Wii U is hacked, people will have access to all three cores which might lead to someone learning how to port Mupen64, but with major speed boosts, plugin optimizations, better RDP/RSP support, etc.

Wishful thinking on my part, but hey, I can dream can't I :P

Still, emukidid has made a better emulator than Nintendo did as far as the no. of games that run.

Nether of these emulators works with Classic Controller (at least mine Classic Controller PRO), did nobody made a version that supports the CC?

Really? On the compatibility list of WiiSX, It says Mega Man Legends "2" Doesn't work at all.
I've tried, it cuts out as soon as the Capcom logo shows up.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @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
