I've released a new version of Frodo today, version 2. More info can be found at http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Frodo, and it can be downloaded from http://frodo-wii.googlecode.com.
The main improvements are:
- Slightly faster emulation speed
- Improved keybindings to the controllers (more keys, also works more like a real keyboard)
- Support for the classic controller (although this is untested since I don't have the hardware)
- Support for loading .prg, .p00 and .s00 files. Only .prg tested.
- Misc smaller bugs have been fixed
Untar the binary archive on your SD card to install. Note that there are some new helper files/dirs compared to the first release, so simply copying boot.dol is not enough.
I'll go back to International Karate now.
Nice work! But 90% of .d64 (scene) releases dont work and emu1541=true cant help to solve a problemm, anyway - why do you port FRODO instead VICE ? VICE has better support - aviable on ppc...
P.S. i'm newbie here - but not in da scene - was sysop on amiga/pc/console bbs since 1997-2007...
I've worked on other ports of Frodo before, so it was easier for me to use that. That said, in the long run I also believe that VICE is a better option and I'd be happy to see it ported to the Wii.Quote:

And forget my ignorance, but what does "scene" mean? Demos?
thanks for the update :)
Yes.. thanks Simon.. Everything runs alot quicker now :) Exploding fist is still funny... it plays ok... but the samples are laboured to the max :) hhehe
Hope you keep going with this!!
I saw Vice for thr Wii the other day... but you needed some linux flavour on your sd card for it to run from ! huh ?
Nice release.
IK+, army moves, ghost n goblins, robocop, Emlyn Hughes Soccer, Sanxion, zaxxon etc etc all seem to run very well. :)
I can't get Creatures 1&2, R-type, Battle Chess and North & South to work on frodo though? I've tried numerous versions of the games but have had no joy. Can anyone confirm if they've got any of them to work??
I just wish the specky emu FUSE was getting regular updates like this (instead of being abandoned).
@SimonKagstrom: I see on wiibrew you've requested the source for wiiUAE. If(or when) this gets released would you also be looking at updating this emu too?
@Stainy: Unfortunately I can't do anything about the sound in exploding fist - that's a frodo emulation problem and exists also on the host. You can turn the sound samples off in exploding fist with (I think) del, so that you only get the music.
@Baboon: I have no plans to do something about UAE, but UAE is GPL so the source code *must* be released. UAE is a really great emulator, so it would be nice to see it on the wii!
"scene" is realy means more than "demoscene" (that is legal scene) , but there is illegal (hackers) scene exist with "releases" - cracked games with intros & trainers ( TRSI/AFL/FLT) - try to run some of illegal releases from that groups - its difficult to get it done,allQuote:

Port of UAE for wii is already released - and based on UAE4ALL sources - that IMHO is not best choice for AMiGA emulator,best choice is E-UAE that runs on Linux/PPC good, existing port of wii UAE4ALL had really sound issues...but graphics is going well...Quote:
