SDLMame 0.125 on WII (UPDATED) - MAME Arcade Games Emulator for Nintendo Wii

@Sir_Voe

Edit : Glad you've got it working now

[Sir_Voe]

A solution has been found for those stuck at "initializing..". You just need to disable WiiConect24 (as indicated by a post from Nuvalo that I misunderstood *smacks forehead*). It now works for me, and I'm enjoying this emu very much. Thanks Nuvalo, sorry for wasting topic space with that oversight.

I suggest to make up for it by posting your findings and experiences with regards to compatibility and speed, Sir_Voe

[Sir_Voe]

Well, from what I've tested...

Double Dragon (somwhat slow, with apparent frame-skip)
Double Dragon II (very slow)
The Simpsons (perfect speed)
Super Contra (near perfect speed)
Shadow Dancer (nice speed with apparent frame-skip)
Shadow Warrior/Ninja Gaiden (near perfect speed)
Ninja Spirit (perfect speed)
R-Type Leo (nice speed with apparent frame-skip)
In the hunt (near perfect speed)
Strider (near perfect speed)
Black Tiger (perfect speed)

Turning off wii-connect 24 fixed everything. MAME on Wii! I own a modded xbox, but lately I have been using wii for all my homebrew. Anyway, some observations.
Legendary wings (works fine)
Gunsmoke (works fine)
Street Fighter 1 (works fine)
r type 1 or 2 (fine)
Tiger Road (fine)
Rastan (fine)
Shinobi (fine)
Haunted Castle (minor sound errors, fine)
Load times for these games is minimal. But, I did run into a bug that messed up the color pallettes for the games. I swapped out the MAME folder for a new one, and it fixed it. Anyway, amazing stuff!

I wonder if the Double Dragon driver (I and II use the same) is either pretty slow, or there's something slowing it down as a result of the porting.
It's great that that Irem stuff seems to work pretty fine, games like Gunforce or Dragon Breed should run good as well. And don't forget "Ninja Baseball Batman".

Does anyone know if this works w/ Breakthru? It starts loading on mine and just freezes (Waited 7 min, its roughly a 500k rom when zipped).

I'm assuming that all files other than boot.elf go in the root when using Hell Hibou's bootloader, right?

Is there a faq or anything on getting this running?
I keep getting stuck at either not finding mamefs-fs or "sorry, I need a working root file system image" help!!

Yep I'm also getting the error ' mamefs-fs'. I've got snes, genesis etc working but for some reson mame isnt playing ball on the wii?

edit: I placed the file mamefs-fs on the root on the mem stick and the emu now boots (well it only boots if I have no nunchucka or classic controller connected or else it gets stuck initialising?)... the emu boots and displays the roms but i dont seem to be able to select any options to be able to start a game??

...will keep trying cause im such a wii homebrew noob! lol
