In my experience, with the front SD saving version you should use the version in the no auto save folder. The auto save one makes games hiccup quite frequently (I'm assuming it's because it's auto saving SRAM every 10 secs or so).

You should NOT be fully recommending that to ANYONE! Unless you can somehow prove that it has no chance of causing harm to your Wii 2 years from now.Quote:

- The "SNES Channel" has not "Front SD SAVE" feature.
- The "Snes9x GX v5" has "Front SD SAVE" feature (fully tested in many games like: Mario World, Metroid, Zelda Link's to the Past, Mario All-Stars...)
- The "SNES Channel: NO LIMIT" is filled with bugs from the original coders that may possibly damage your Wii.
- The "SNES Channel: NO LIMIT" had it's safety messure (time limit) removed by someone that doesn't know what the bugs have a chance of doing.
- The "SNES Channel: NO LIMIT" was made against the wishes of it's original ground breaking coders because of the two "facts" above.
Much more informative that way.
lol how do i install the snes channel , its an iso file burn it ? need a modchip?
Yes, you need a modchip. I don't have a modchip, so I don't know how to properly burn files.Quote:

I'm not sure why one is an ISO and the other is an ELF. I'm sure it could be installed using the Twilight Hack, but I'm guessing that you need the same file for that as you do for the Virtual Console.Quote:

Just be warned that it could potentially brick your Wii, either during the install, or at a later date.
That's ridiculous. What do you have against spanish programmers that modified those applications?Quote:

They're homebrew applications... that's all.
i agree, all these programs and crap are as risky as each other i say, none are made by Nintendo and they can easily block all applications whether released by team twiizers or not through an update and brick our ways or wahtever either way. at least this way i'm getting it sooner rather later. i'm stick with this one.
OF COURSE there's risks. It's HOMEBREW. Even the official stuff takes time to work all of the kinks out. Just delete the Homebrew channel and the SNES channel before you install any update and support the non-trial version of the original edition when it comes out.
Maybe they can find a way to add pictures and sound. A blank channel is kinda' boring.
Honestly, I'm not sure why we need a SNES channel anyways, the SNES emulator works fine from the Homebrew Channel.
true thats what i plan on doing, just delete the homebrew channel before an update, then put it back on when i've updated. and of course once the "official" version of the channel is released i'll be using that one instead i just cant be bothered waiting. putting in TP everytime i wanna play was getting to annoying.
What point are you trying to make exactly?Quote:

My point about them going against the original coders approval still stands. He said it himself.
Making enemies with people that do revolutionary work for the scene is not a good thing to do. I've seen coders quit with my own eyes because of this.Quote:

Some unknowing noob is going to take your advice and install it thinking everything about is it perfect. IOS37 comes out, and has a conflict with the unsigned channel... BRICK!!! Are you going to take responsibility for giving that advice? No, you'll be too busy crying about your own bricked Wii.
One of the things that pisses me off most about the release, is that the guy didn't even care enough to post a warning. That's just reckless. Same as going around telling people how flawless it is.
I guess that you should use RegionFrii and WiiBrickBlocker, instead worried about the IOS37 :cool: !Quote:

Neither of those have anything to do with what I said. RegionFrii is a hack to play back ups from out side your region. WiiBrickBlocker rips the update from the game disc. Both of these require a modded Wii and the ability to back up the game (unless you're a pirate).Quote:

Without updating, you're not going to recieve any new features. No WiiWare, no internet channel, no updates to anything. It all just seems stupid to sacrifice so that you don't have to spend a minute walking two feet on Zelda.
You need a modded Wii to be able to use those tools. People with unmodded Wii's would still have to update, anyway.Quote:

I believe he is referring to people that install things like this to their Wii, without knowing the potential dangers, and think that because it works now, that means it always will. You see all kinds of threads about the Twilight Hack on GameFAQs, so it is pretty mainstream. That means someone who doesn't know about IOS37 could end up installing this channel. Team Twiizers have said themselves they are uncomfortable releasing a full version until they can test it on IOS37.
Say someone, who doesn't know what they are doing:
1. Installs the current, unrestricted, Homebrew Channel.
2. Eventually installs an update that activates the IOS37.
3. Because the channel uses an exploit that IOS37 fixes, it causes their Wii to brick.
You may know to remove it before updating, but that doesn't mean everyone else does. He is saying, that while you are free to use it, don't tell others to do what you are, unless they know the risks.
remove the channel before inestalling any update lol
*btw i installed homebrew channel with homebrew launcher without any prob so far, woot i dont need the twilight hack for now xD
How do you know it doesn't leave traces of the channel behind when you uninstall it?Quote:

This is what I'm talking about. People installing stuff without understanding the risks.Quote:

Jay_PaRaDoX must not have noticed.
yup iwould install it
Then you're not allowed to complain when something bad happens.
I have a question. I've looked through the documentation and didn't notice anything on this so I'm curious...does this emulator have 2 (or more) player support? Since it utilizes the GC controllers, it seems logical, but I'm unsure if it has been implemented at all.
I like what bushing had to say in his blog.
Personally, I'm going back and support coders with this kind of mentality. Not people who made a simple tweak to somebody else's code and releases it without knowing the risks involved. Personally I think they were just looking for some notoriety from this. Their interest was placed in self-promotion, not in the interest of the end user.Quote:
As coders, I think that we have a responsibility to do what we can to mitigate the risk and protect our users.
do you think i should stop the dvd motor while i play games. Can playing games without this option on hurt the lens or the motor of the wii.
Someone said they'd played a four player Bomberman match, so I'd say yes. Haven't done it myself though.Quote:

Is there by any chance that the video out can be fixed on the NTSC version so that it runs on RGB in color.
The NTSC version runs perfect speed on my PAL Wii if set to 60hz but displays in red and black picture because I use RGB.
Changing the setting to 50hz and the same speed issues occur as with the PAL Version.
Although it's remedied by switching to composite cable (Don't have component or HD-TV), but the colors are awful :(
The PAL Version runs either too slow or too fast depending on if its set to VSYNC or CLOCK, although the picture is fine on RGB.
Hopefully it's something that can be looked into.
YES!!! Finally earthbound on the wii!
Hoi!
I use the Snes9X_V0.1.0_front_ver.5 and I can save ^^v
but it's only in red/black
so please compile a PAL version °~°
like:
SNESGX frontsd 4 > SNESGX frontsd 4 PAL
(I hope you have the source)
thx~
Here you can download a new Beta Version with PAL support. Haven´t testet it though.
well, the colors are fine....Quote:

I do have the same mistake just as before with red/black screen
I tried the two beta versions, saving does work to front SD! And colours are fine too.
What folders do you have on your stick?
Its snes9x/saves and roms and fceu/saves and roms.
@xsomax I just took the _pal60 file from the zip file. Also i have the Wii Hombrew launcher 0.3 wich detects what video mode you are running.
I do also use the Wii Homebrew launcher, but with it i get also a Red/black screen.
I use Homebrew Launcher 0.3 with auto detection--> results in red screen (when TV enabled with 60 Hz of course, but THAT is what should be fixed).
Ive tried also choosing the PAL60 mode manually, but that results in a black screen -.- . Could no one help me >.<
Hm and you took the pal60 version from the link i posted?
Yes i do, i have 3 homebrews, and this one i have also, but in the end a simple red screen. i think that it HAS something to do with the homebrew launcher because when i start it it turns red at first, so all other will also be red i suppose.
Maybe you could try to choose pal mode instead of automode in the homebrew launcher ini file. Dont know if it works, just a guess. Mine is on automode and works fine.
here i wrote what happened when i choose different modes:
http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/sho...ebrew+launcher
With the modes it is supposed to work i get a whole black screen, but i CAN control it, starting the SNES emulator results in the old red screen
Hm than for now it seems your only possibility is to get a component cable (if you have component on your tv) or wait till a newer version is released :(
I have tried /snes9x/saves and just /saves/ but I can't load savegamesQuote:
