Eke-Eke (http://www.tehskeen.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3919) has released a new version of the Genesis/Megadrive/SegaCD Emulator for the Nintendo Wii and Gamecube

Heres whats new:


This is quick "fix" update that fix some bugs existing in the previous version.
It also add progressive mode support (480p) in Wii mode and definitely fixe the "red screen" problem with PAL wii in EURGB60 mode (there was a tiny bug in libogc that makes the video hardware sometime output a wrong video signal, not RGB compatible)

Wow, I didnt know there was a Sega CD emulator for Gamecube!

Eke-Eke, I am a bit confused on the new releases today... You have Cube versions and Wii versions, but the Wii file contains both an elf version and Dol version. I understand that genplus_wii.elf is the native Wii version, but what is the difference between the genplus_cube.dol and genplus_wii.dol builds? Perhaps you can specify in later updates of each emulator (Hugo, SMS, etc) to avoid confusion of which to use and which works in Emuloader?

Thanks again for the great work!!! -Z

Sega cd are you serious. Does it read iso mp3?

[Starscream]

That is a mistake in the post here. It doesn't support Sega-CD in it's current state.

[Eviltaco64]

Yeah, I finally realized that :(
But there's still hope :) !!

this seems to be a common confusion so let's me explain:

.dol and .elf files are NOT specific to one or the other console, they are just two different formats for gamecube AND wii executables (both consoles use the same PowerPC CPU architecture)

so, YES you can run either .dol or .elf files on the Wii, the fact that only .elf files were released at first for the Wii was because there only was elf loaders but there are now dol loaders too ...

so, to answer your question: "_cube" files are the gamecube mode version and "_wii" files are the wii mode versions, sorry but I don't know how I could make it clearer

and , with the emuloader for gamecube, use _cube .dols emulators

with the emuloader for wii, use _wii .dols OR .elf emulators

Whoa, I'm having horrible crashes on the Wii version. Randomly, or sometimes through mashing buttons, the screen goes to an inflated (or high resolution) screen with what I guess are memory addresses. It sucks, now I can't play roms without fear of crashing. : (

Hi, I'd just like to thank you for all your hard work.
