I just gave this a quick try, love the interface!
Very much built for Wii instead of the old extension of the GC intrface. Played Secret of Mana to an hour in and never encountered any bugs.
One question though, what is the network stuff for? Is there a chance of some multiplayer action?

I checked it out just now and...wow. It looks awesome.

I don't have any games that ever had any bugs, and I've been using the 006 version for some time now. So I'm not sure about any improvements there.

The only thing I don't like about it is the loading and saving. Sure, it's better because there are more options, and you can save more than once(SRAM and snapshot), but it takes more time to save due to having to press so many buttons. Maybe when I get more used to it, it won't be so bad.

Yet, I'd have to say this is a great improvement.
Good job to whoever worked on this! :thumbup:

(I think that the network stuff has something to do with the saves, loading from the PC or something like that.)

Glad you like it, that would be me who worked on it ;)
The network stuff is for loading/saving from SMB (Windows File Sharing).
