If you're looking for some old-school gaming fun, then developer Hermes has just the thing for you. A PC Engine homebrew emulator for the Nintendo Wii was recently released, making use of the console's unique controls and other peripherals.

Wiiengine 1.2 adds several new options and includes support for the Nunchuck peripheral. Here's a direct translation of the new changelog, taken from the project's release thread:

• Added an option to exit from the shipper screen selection of ROMs (Click less and confirms)
• Now you can use the button least as SELECT (remember that you can use the button for the same MAS)
• Added an option to exchange and SELECT buttons RUN (Configuration menu)
• The Nunchuck is now supported: Use the stick, A -> I, B -> II & PLUS MINUS -> SELECT, 1 -> RUN (remember you can exchange RUN & SELECT from CONFIGURATION)
• Some games like Street Fighter 2 or Strip Fighter now operate without corruption graph.
• Fixed some problems with sound

The emulator comes with a Readme file, which explains how to create ROM files that will run on it. Please go through the documentation before copying any files onto your console.
