Hi im new to the forum, hope this is the right place to ask this question. I want to put the nes emulator with the roms and the snes emulator with the roms also into a 2gb sd card. My question is how do i put both inside the card so that the wii can pickup both when i run the twlight hack. I know to put one emulator on the sd and make it run but i want to put two emulators and make them run. Can i install the homebrew channel and run the emulators from the sd card? Sorry for the noob questions but i am new at this. Thank You

You could use one of the following loaders. You will need to name the one you use as 'boot.elf', and then follow the instructions for that specific loader...


Front SD ELF Loader (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/attachment.php?attachmentid=2147505265&d=1207254641)
MAG Loader (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/attachment.php?attachmentid=2147505408&d=1208027625)
All-in-1 Emuloader (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/attachment.php?attachmentid=2147505507&d=1208719436)
TCP Loader (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/attachment.php?attachmentid=2147505466&d=1208381685)
Wii Homebrew Launcher (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/attachment.php?attachmentid=2147505313&d=1207598226)

Sorry, I've never used that loader. You can read this thread here (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=103246). It has some instructions that should help you to get it working.

I use the Front SD ELF Loader (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=102438). It was the first loader made, and I just haven't bothered to try any different loaders, yet. On this loader, you just change the ELF file to 'boot.elf', and place it on the root of the SD Card. Then, you create a folder, named 'elf' (in lower-case), on the root of the SD Card, and place any ELF files inside that folder.

it's exactly like the MAG loader, except the MAG loader boots .dol files too, but i haven't got any to work though, and the menu doesn't jump everytime you scroll like in the one you use (above)..

i recommend the MAG loader.

i have not used any other loader except the wii homebrew channel loader with no timelimit.. which is good because you just install it once using the twilight hack then just put the boot.elf file in and it will work.

ok, i use the no limit channel too, and i have the MAG loader renamed to boot.elf, and all the emus and homebrew in the "elf" directory, it gotta be in lowercase: "elf"

i think you should try the MAG loader, cus it's alot easier to have all the stuff in the elf folder, so you won't have to rename everything to boot.elf..

I have tried Homebrew Launcher and Mag loader and all of them can not find the roms. Can somebody please tell how to get this thing running. I need help. I created a folder name snes9x then inside that folder is the elf file and then the roms but it never reads the roms. Its says f_opendir and then f_stat error.

Which loader are you using right now

which version of snes9x are you using

if your using the front sd save version you place all your roms
inside a folder named roms at the root of your sd card

if your using one of the other version's you place all your roms
inside a folder named roms inside your snes9x folder

1 more thing if your using the front sd save version make sure
you have the .smc file ext at the end of the roms name
or you going to get nothing but waiting for pad screens

hope this helps i'm going to bed
