SNES9X v.3.0 LoPsT - Snes Emulator for Nintendo Wii

[Ylizor]

It turned out that I used the 2 button on the Wiimote instead of A.
Next error I got was the "Opendir(/snes9x/roms) failed with -64.", you'd think that would be the 'X:\apps\snes9x\roms' folder but it turned out again that it had to be 'X:\snes9x\roms'.
Thanks for that R + Z thing! These things come extremly unclear.
I still don't understand the whole picture about the use of SD-cards (how to put the folders right and what files where etc).

Yeah, on the root of the SD card, you need to create a folder called 'snes9x'. I'm not sure, but it may be case sensitive. In that folder, create two folders, and name them 'roms' and 'saves'. Now, place your ROMs in the 'roms' folder. None of this goes into the 'apps' folder, except the SNES9X ELF, XML information page, and the banner. By the sound and looks of it, you already have that set up correctly.

Yeah I figured it out, thanks for your time h2923j42n2!

Are you loading a ROM from the SD card before you select 'Play Game'? That looks like the Color Demo screen. Also, if that is what it is, you can use R + Z on the GameCube controller to get back to the emulator menu. I'm not sure what it is on any Wii controls.

Left or Right on the C-stick works too.

Does anyone know if I can put symbols in the game names now (like those crazy legends like (U) [!] and the like that are attached to a ton of ROMs), or can I still not put them in ?

Thanks. I forgot about that one.

I don't see why not. You would just have to add them, and see how the emulator reacts to it. I remove the extensions from my ROMs, and the emulator does not have any problems loading them.

I'm not sure, but you may want to try the PAL version, if you aren't already. However, I believe that the PAL version is in Spanish.

Anyone know why I can't just start a game that requires saves? I always have to create a dummy file according to the error message before loading on my computer...It's pretty freaking annoying.

Am I doing something wrong? Can I use the save state manager to fix this problem?

And just in case the former paragraph was confusing, these are the steps I take to play games like Donkey Kong Country or Super Metroid (SRAM):

put rom on SD card

Load SNES emu on Homebrew Channel

Load Rom

Read Error message

Note down the "missing" SRAM file's filename

Go on computer

Create a blank txt document

rename it to "missing" SRAM's complete filename

Load game successfully


This method works, but it's ridiculously arduous. Any help on doing it the right or easier way? Does anyone else have to do this?

If I missed a post, just refer me to it. I searched before, but I couldn't find any help to my problem...

Btw, I'm using the Wii's SD slot to load roms/sram, etc

I believe that it will only say that once. After that, the SRAM file will have been created on your SD card, and it will stop. If you want to stop that, you will need to turn the automatic SRAM save off. I believe that it is in 'File Management'.

Isn't that the same screen I got first? Are you using the A-button to press on Play Game etc (instead of 2, which is logical if you hold the Wiimote horizontal)?
