Unnofficial SNES9X GX Edition - Snes Emulator for Nintendo Wii

[vicious1988]

You can switch SDCards because the emulator runs in memory. If you load a game you can switch to another SDCard and the loaded game will still work since its in memory.

However, if you switch the SDCard you can load from whatever roms directory is on it, or get an error if that directory doesn't exist. If you have no SDCard in you will just get errors when trying to get to the roms list.

You can't save to SDCard yet because the f_write function isn't implemented. The main reason for that is it is a dangerous command to work with. But svpe has submitted code for frontsd save/load to devkitPro and it should be available in the next toolchain.

Has anyone tried saving to an sd gecko? I have only heard people talk about using gamecube memory cards. I only have an official nintendo one which apparently won't work, so I want to know if I should go hunting for a cheap 3rd party one or just wait for my sd gecko which should be here in a week or 2.

Is there a select button?

I'm trying to play secret of mana over again but I haven't found a select button.

Also, if using twilight hack and sdloader, is it possible to use gamesaves?

I think the Z button on a gamecube controller is the select button.

This is by far the greatest hacking I've ever done (probably because I've never hacked a system before) and plus it didn't cost anything =D

Just can't wait for saving to become available.

damn i thought i already posted this, i musta forgot to press post reply, but basically i tried it again on a 1GB Sandisk microSD in a SD adapter and it still didn't work only this time instead of listing the "starting cluster" messages it just wrote one then a line of random numbers and after about 5 seconds another one will come up and it just kept doing that for about a minute before i gave up. i'm gonna try when i get home to do it with hack 3.0b and format my microSD card to fat 32 and see if that help if that doesn't, then until someone knows for sure i officially give up. also just incase i damage my wii further did it turn off with you normally when you did get the messages or did you have to turn it off from the power point cause thats what i've been doing.?

Thats what happened at first. The way I stopped it was to make sure that I didn't have any roms in another folder in my SD card. Make sure all of your roms are in a folder named "roms" thats directly in the root of your card.

thats exactly where i have it, and i only have one rom too just incase having more was what was makign the error (i doubt it but it was worth a shot). still nothing. i even tried just naming the elf file "boot" cause someone on gamefaqs told me it's already an ELF file so naming it boot.elf is the same as writing boot.elf.elf and that still did nothing so i really have no idea. i have one more microSD card i can try but i'll have to do it when i get home later if that still doesn't work then until someone actually works it out i dont know. do you think maybe you can give me a step by step guide just incase i missed something little detail thats causing this?

[OutPhaseIccy]

I don't think that MicroSD cards work with starting up the emulator, mine didn't. When you downloaded the file, it should have came with two files in the original rom folder, one called COL15.smc and then another one that ended with .s

Get the one that ended with .s and put it in the folder where you put your rom. Thats how I got mine to stop that.

you mean when i downloaded the elf file? cause all i got in the zip was "snes9x.elf" and "snes9x.dol". if you can link me to where you downloaded maybe then it will actually work. also about the microSD thing i only tried that after my proper SD one didn't work just incase and it still done it with that.

or better yet can you just upload the files your talking about and link me to them?

I will when I get home tonight, but I can't promise it'll fix your problem, but it fixed mine.
