I just tried this and it loaded fine through the Homebrew Channel but when I selected 'Load Rom' the screen changes to have lots of horizontal green and purple lines with a black background.

None of the buttons on my Wiimote or classic controller would get any response, and I could not turn my Wii off by using the Reset button or the power button.

I had to pull the plug but when I plugged the power back in there were no lights and my Wii was not responding any more and would not turn on.

I pulled the power out again, and then retried about half an hour later and it is working again.

Has anyone else had this happen with any homebrew? Any idea what could cause it? I think the point at which the app crashed was probably when it was trying to auto detect my TV mode (it is a PAL one that can display in PAL 60 and PAL 50, and also does NTSC I think).

I had something like that happen and had to press the home button to get back to the main menu, then press 1 or 2 (can't remember) as the button for select.

I think I'll stick with my older one, at least it works reliably.

works good
but not analog sticks on classic pad are completely disabled again :\ i want to play with them (i think they were disabled because of no diagonals)

I pressed the home button and nothing happened. Nothing happened when I pressed any button. I am a little concerned that this has only happened to me and it works fine for everyone else.

Edit: After reading around a bit I have found out the a general rule if anythiing goes wrong is to remove any Gamecube memory cards. I tried the emu again and removed my Gamecube memory card first and it worked great, an excellent emulator indeed. It is only a shame that the save game files do not have the same name as the ROM.

Is there no long-name support for saving or something? Snes9x on the Wii is the ONLY emulator I know (including emulators on other systems) that doesn't name its save files the same as the rom file (though with the extension SRM obviously). This makes thing EXTREMELY hard if you want to use those saves in another emulator, because with just an 8-digit code, you don't even know what game it's for!
