SNES9X Channel Emulator with BANNER

[Jay_PaRaDoX]

The version of the emulator is "Snes9x Wii 1.43 wiimote and classic (v.2.2 LoPsT+Falco)", so look for info on that emulator to know how to make it work.

It has 2 Wiimote support, and both Classic Controller and Nunchunk. GC Controller too.

cool, I'd usually say to myself, go for it but i think nintendo has something up there sleaves, so im gunna wait for the Homebrew channel so i can have like 10 in 1 and to make sure its all safe.

btw what would happen if i tried to install a doom Wad?

[darkness angel 777]

Thats Cool

[icecoolwas]

i just got the urge to try it out and i did, didnt work

I downloaded Wad installer v1 and renamed the file to boot.elf

I downloaded your wad and renamed it to title.wad

Put them both on sd card, ran twilight hack, pressed 1+2 At the screen pressed A a bunch of numbers came up and it froze there and it said exception occured.

i have a pal wii

what did i do wrong?

prbly get an error or bricked or asemi-bricked or a channel installed that freezes when you try to load it

[tehnoir]

Using the wad installer? Oh dear, please don't try that. If you look at the explanation of a WAD file on WiiBrew.org and look up an explanation of Doom WADs, you will see that they're not even close to the same thing.

You might think of it this way. You know how some of the emulators out for the Wii have .zip file support? Have you tried zipping a non-ROM file and loading it? It's just not the type of data that it's expecting.

If that's a bad analogy or somebody has a better one, please speak up.

[dbgtrgr]

Very nice, works perfect for me. Now I only have 1 black channel ;P

[icecoolwas]

Lol I was just wondering what would happen i would never try it lol, they could have chosen another extention though, wad might confuse a few and cause serious problems to their Wii, anyway tehnoir do you know what i did wrong before cos i couldnt install the wad (snes9x) channel to my wii i followed everything

[DimensionT]

Seriously... What's the point? Bushing said their channel would be released before too long.

It's better to wait for someone who's already proven they know what they're doing.

[icecoolwas]

woo got it to work now, Its awsome, but since i have a pal tv the emulator is usually slow in pal mode so i have to change my wii screen setting to 60hz which it goes kinda blury but faster but the games look like poop but run faster. and sometimes i get an error with a rainbow spectrum saying error bad checksum and its annoying i have to format my sd card when it does that.

also the wii remote Lib settings are very sensetive move a little bit ull go flying off the edge in mario..

hope this will all be fixed soon.

[tehnoir]

tehnoir do you know what i did wrong before cos i couldnt install the wad (snes9x) channel to my wii i followed everything

Glad to see you got it working, but for the record, I know nothing about the unofficial channels as I have not touched them.

[saward85]

is this in english?

[icecoolwas]

Yup english

Im playing Zelda link to the past on my wii

it actually looks good for some reason =]

Btw i own this game on snes and my snes isnt very reliable if u move it the catridge will budge and it would freeze so yeah im fine with the wii.

[Embarko]

ok i havent really got a real answer to this quesiton yet

kan i play 4 player games (like bomberman or nba jam)

i was planning on using a classic controller and 2 gamecube controllers is it possibel?

thanks again

[Accordion]

A little off- topic…

Is it possible to have two Wii remotes working as one SNES controller, one in each hand, with B as shoulder buttons, and the right d-pad for face buttons?

I would find it much more convenient than having to connect additionl wired controllers.

Yup, there is an option for multi tap aswell

[jinxter]

Hi,

Do the ROMS and SAVES directories need to go into the SNES9X directory at the root of the SD card to allow them to be run?

Cheers

Jinxterx


yeah make these folders

SNES9X/ROMS
SNES9X/SAVES

and load your ROMS folder with roms, also make sure its all capitalised (apart from the roms themselfs)

[[email protected]]

how do you make the banner ?
there is some tutorial ? if yes where ?

thx

[Jay_PaRaDoX]

There is no tutorial yet. It too risky to play around with banners, so its all staying private.

And DimensionT, you think Twiizers are the ONLY ones that know about these things? I'm sorry to inform you that I know perfectly what I'm playing with, and making it safe for everyone.
Leave me alone and get a life.

[PeyeRate420]

thats just gr8 stuff right there PaRaDoX i now have 3 brews with banners cant wait for the homebrew channel banner to show up :) ive been keeping a close eye on your youtube and subscribed i really gotta say you and waninkoko are my fav wii developers you 2 just shock and amaze us everyday! :)
keep up the awesome work we support you!


Seriously... What's the point? Bushing said their channel would be released before too long.

It's better to wait for someone who's already proven they know what they're doing.

Appaerently you missed the other ones but these ALL work fine i used wad uninstaller AND went on the wii shop channel after with no problems and grabed river city ransom (only to support it not because i had to i wanted 2 but at least thats an option now thanks to waninkoko) and btw theres a tool called BANNER TOOL already out and people arte using it...thats funny let me just say paradox uses a "better" tool ;) and it was developed by some VERY respectable people in the GC/DS/Wii scene....Beleave what you want but paradox is as trust worthy as bushing as far as im concerned ;) if you owned a DS or simply check on his credentials via google you knew that already ;)

hey paradox feel free to visit my homesite sometime bro all the members @ the playground http://theplayground-uk.com/ love your work! and fully support you!

did he really say that? last i heard he said he doesn't know when it'll be released but if he's saying not to long now thats great news, i cant wait to use the channel.

[icecoolwas]

Whats the point? There is a point, so the majority of us can have a channel instead of going through 4 mins of time wasting every time we want to play a snes game.

not only that he is releasing ideas to other devs that could make a massive impact on the homebrew scene, they are only a few wii homebrew developers, and i think you should be supporting them not trying to scare them off. Infact id like to see you try to convert a App to a channel with a banner, go on I'll be waiting.

[beelzebozo21]

i have a couple of questions, both of which may have already been answered in designated positions (but i'm not entirely sure where those threads may be):

[1] how do i install the WAD? i've figured out how to do the twilight princess hack, and i managed to load snes9x manually that way.

[2] once i do get snes9x running, where should the roms on my sd-card go?

any and all assistance greatly appreciated.

[theotherfreakyguy]

Great work, I'm loving this channel! Can't wait until I figure out how to run BS Zelda on it...

Also,

i now have 3 brews with banners

?
What are the other Two?

[Jay_PaRaDoX]

I've made... NES channel with banner and... maybe he refers to Smash Bros VC injected game which I've made a banner for.

Very true. In fact, from what I am reading on another site, it is the Revolution SDK, which would make it illegal. I'm not completely sure on that, however.

[yeohke]

Great work, works good, but I still can save games, the save manager report an SD error, but it loads the roms alright, I had the snes9x folder and the saves folder under that. am I missing something?

[yeohke]

I can't save I meant

[Mooroar]

i can imagine this is going to be great, but i have a problem.
i installed the snes9x channel and everything went fine until i tried to load it up from my menu, then it just restarts the wii, did i do something wrong? and how can i possibly fix this?

[PeyeRate420]

well those are the 3 i was on about, your right bro...but i saw your forth as well :P the wii homebrew banner on youtube! :o thats got me drooling! what a work of art all of theese are!

YOU CAN SAVE GAMES...
not on the onboard sd but on a gecko SD or gamecube memory card it works fine

(i do not own a gecko so i use GC card)

here is how....go to:


SAVE MANAGER from the main menu...( hit a or 2)

then go to STATE Manager...( hit a or 2)

hit down 2 times you should have the words:
Device: SDCard

just below that you see SDCard: Slot B
if you hit the 2 button a few times here you will see the Memcard Slot A and MemCard Slot B options

ok now hit the 2 button untill your GC memcard options pop up that directs to the proper slot your GC memcard is in ....within your wii ;) (thats a mouthful)

for example i use my memcard in slot A of my wii console so i set the device to MemCard Slot A before i click on the Save State option

and finally....


beelzebozo21 i have a couple of questions, both of which may have already been answered in designated positions (but i'm not entirely sure where those threads may be):

[2]
snes roms Zipped or UNzipped are supported...Place your Roms in:
SDroot:/snes9x/roms/ directory
so open your SD card in my computer make a folder called snes9x open that folder....ok with this snes9x folder we make another new folder and we call it roms...Open this roms folder and as by now im sure you guessed place your roms in here ;) that should do it for ya bro :P

[yeohke]

Thanks PeyeRate420, I manage to use the state manager and save it on to the Wii SD slot. The trick is you have to save it while you are on the game. Very happy now because my SNES is back. Many thanks.

[PeyeRate420]

no prob any time bro ;)

[Mooroar]

can anyone help me out? my question is on the previous page and its driving me insane because i can not find a solution to my problem anywhere.

[PeyeRate420]

hey did you install it via a elf loader app or the twilight hack?
just curious? and could that be a region thing? i have a NTSC has anyone using a PAL had problems?everything ive ever gotten by the legend that is Senior JPaRaDoX! Has worked without a single flaw EVER before so i would have to guess something is missing man ;)

so i would ask what is your FW version and have you ever tried using wad uninstaller...removing it...and then try RE installing the .WAD? just some things i would try alos for a good guide just in case check this out bro ;)
http://wiibrew.org/index.php?title=Homebrew_apps/WAD_Installer

hope that helps sorry i couldnt help more but i just havent a clue how you could go wrong if you have the channel showing up with the banner then it surely should run UNLESS

YOU DONT HAVE THE SNES9X folders installed as well?

this assumes that you have the file structure ( rom folder ect) so maybe that could play a part? idunno just some thoughts on your issue bro...




FOR STAFF and WRAGGY the head of hancho ;)

damn wraggy i hardly ever comment over here anymore because well usually theres no need a staffer tends to have the answer but the site has a lot less people than it used to active people anyways ;) ...or at least the wii scene compared to the psp back in the day! well im always scowering for news on all these sites for the playground so i dont mind helping out but maybe you should staff up the wii section a bit with a active wiibrew user ;) one of these fine dcemu pro's who uses the wii all the time like Linkonworm ;) good members who are active so they can answers those questions...

Besides the fact that im not active here all the time my gramer is bad and i hate the word Punctuation...but i cant see just watching fellow users not get answers to things you most likly havent the time to answer what with all the news posting...anyway just a thought big guy but you could use a active wii user as staff ;) that has time to answer all the questions so we encourage all the new wiibrew users in our scene huh? thanx for reading this staff... Peyerate420/VettaCossX...

[Jay_PaRaDoX]

Just want to correct something from page 3: I'm using 2 tools from the SDK, yes.

But to use them, you have to build your own script to make it work correctly. Thats one of the tools, and the other one... there are others made by a few people that work the same way, but I work better with this one.

this worked perfectly. thank you! the emulator is fantastic.

now to go ask a couple of questions about the RIN game boy emulator. . .

[PeyeRate420]

no worries glad i could help out bro ;) PaRaDoX is a awesome developer and i have a gr8 deal of respect for the man...So im very much happy to help get his projects running on your wii if anyone else has problems getting channels to install or your worried about what ones to use? just drop me a pm ;) ill get back to you within 24 hours (usually faster) ;)

again amazing work on the snes banner i am super impressed with the audio as a bonus too! :o

[hankarlo]

If anyone is having problems with the emu running in black & white (PAL), just go into Wii settings\Screen\ & change from 60hrtz to 50hrtz. Worked 4 me!

[DimensionT]

And DimensionT, you think Twiizers are the ONLY ones that know about these things? I'm sorry to inform you that I know perfectly what I'm playing with, and making it safe for everyone.
Leave me alone and get a life.

You've said that before... I'm not saying they're the only ones that know how to make channels. I'm saying they know more about the risks and responsibilities then you do. Going on a mad channel releasing spree when the impact is unknown is really quite reckless, and is in no way good for the scene. Only point for them is for all the overly impatient people not willing to wait to boot Zelda, and not willing to wait for the official channel.

Bushing and the rest know more about what's going on in the Wii then 95% of the people around here, I'm sure no one will argue with that. When they express concern over the scene and what might happen with what they release, that gives me MUCH more reason to trust them over you.

He said himself that these channels give risks to bricking Wiis. He's even unsure what will happen when the new IOS comes with his official channel installed (with all of it's updates and security measures).

I'd much rather follow what he's saying then mess with this shit. I just wish more people thought the same.


Whats the point? There is a point, so the majority of us can have a channel instead of going through 4 mins of time wasting every time we want to play a snes game.

not only that he is releasing ideas to other devs that could make a massive impact on the homebrew scene, they are only a few wii homebrew developers, and i think you should be supporting them not trying to scare them off. Infact id like to see you try to convert a App to a channel with a banner, go on I'll be waiting.

Four minutes? Oh noes! That's way too long!

You missed my point completely. The OFFICIAL channel is being released shortly, which has support for multiple emulators/homebrew in one channel. Which makes doing a channel for each and everything completely pointless. Even more so when a new version of the emulator/homebrew gets updated.

And why would I want to make my own channel? It's pointless, remember?


did he really say that? last i heard he said he doesn't know when it'll be released but if he's saying not to long now thats great news, i cant wait to use the channel.

Yeah he did. This is what he said when I asked what his opinion on these channels was....

"I’m not a big fan of them, because we put those time limits on them for a reason — we didn’t want people to keep using them because they weren’t done, and we (hadn’t/)haven’t done much testing with IOS37 to make sure there would be no problems.

We’ve done some more testing and no longer have any specific reason to think IOS37 will brick Wiis that have a “custom” channel installed — unless something changes — so we will be releasing the “real” homebrew channel shortly. I promise it’ll be less butt-ugly than the demo!"

And that was more then two weeks ago.

Put them both on sd card, ran twilight hack, pressed 1+2 At the screen pressed A a bunch of numbers came up and it froze there and it said exception occured.

what did i do wrong?

You're supposed to name it to something other than title.

[Mooroar]

hey did you install it via a elf loader app or the twilight hack?
just curious? and could that be a region thing? i have a NTSC has anyone using a PAL had problems?everything ive ever gotten by the legend that is Senior JPaRaDoX! Has worked without a single flaw EVER before so i would have to guess something is missing man ;)

well lets see, i have an NTSC console, i installed it through the twilight hack.



so i would ask what is your FW version and have you ever tried using wad uninstaller...removing it...and then try RE installing the .WAD?
im not sure how to find out my FW version but when i open my system setting on the first page at the top right it says ver 3.1U i dunno if that's what I'm looking for.
ill try uninstalling it with WAD uninstaller in a second and update this post with my results.

EDIT: i tried it and still restarting. I'm slowly going insane.




YOU DONT HAVE THE SNES9X folders installed as well?

this assumes that you have the file structure ( rom folder ect) so maybe that could play a part? idunno just some thoughts on your issue bro...
I'm fairly sure i got the folders right, considering i can run the emulator off the twilight hack just fine.

EDIT #2: i tried reformatting my wii and trying again, still no luck.

[PeyeRate420]

yeah thats crazy bro! i use 3.2u fw on a ntsc-u wii and it works pefect? that is strange...could it be the fw i know for wiiware wads to work you need 3.2u but i wouldnt think that it matters for brew im stumped 2 bro....everything but your fw seems the same and yeah if you had it running on the twilight hack one would think the file structure is proper (if that even matters in a wad channel) but it does work on some NTSC wii's for sure ;)

to the guy getting the black and white i wonder if running "freethewads" on it would help?

[turtleman64]

I made a video of starting up the emulator if anyone's interested.

This is an awesome release! I only wish for front SD saving! Otherwise top notch!!! Great banner and music!

[Mooroar]

woo,i finally got it to work, and you were right peyerate the problem was my FW, i had to drag me wii to a friends house to use his wireless but it worked

for those who mighth ave the same problem as i did, make sure your wii is fully updated before trying.

Hi, I'm a newbie here and I have a question to ask: I got Exception 0300 when I walked backwards in my american Twilight Princess RVL-RZDE-0A-0 starting with my v0 TP hack save file. I got the latest firmware update on my american Wii. Also, I did all what the readme-file asked me to do. How can I fix it?

Edit: Never mind. I went to YouTube and followed the exact instructions given to me from a Wii Homebrew Channel 101-video.
