Snes9x GX 005 - Image 1Wiibrew developers tantric and michiewski have paired up and released a new version of Snes9xGX, an SNES emulator for the Nintendo Wii.

Cheats have been enabled in this version (yey), and three new render modes are now available so video output is as close to the original SNES as possible.

Thanks to the libdi release of Team Twiizers, the homebrew is also able to load DVDs in Wiimode, but you'll need DVDX installed for it to work. A lot of other things have been added to this release, so here's the full changelog from the authors. Be sure to go through the readme for more information on the emu.

  • added: 3 render modes - Original, Filtered, Unfiltered

» Test results:

Sorry bad english... I love this emu, keep working on it!

Now, what problems I found out, come to next:



1. Nunchuk dosen't work so well. When push LEFT or UP, sametime it push some other putton too, this time A or B. This happen after I costom the buttons. (I test it to games: Super Mario World & Mortal Kombat II)



2.I now this is the first time there can use Superscope & Mouse, but still... Mouse is so unplayable when there is TWO cursor, one of the game and one of the Wiimote. Next time use only the GAME CURSOR!



3.This time I'm not sure... There are a new VIDEO modes, "soft" & "rough" (Filtered & Unfiltered). I think, in my PAL TV the previous emu (Snes9x GX 004) it's looks just a perfect for then. Put that video mode back to next update (Snes9x GX 006).



AND finally the wishs:

When use the Nunchuk, the CROSS buttons in Wiimote (UP, DOWN, LEFT & RIGHT) are useless. It is better if there can use just like a buttons like L & R.



...Game name "Theme Park", when play it, build something and then press a button like [?], show up somekind a bitmap on the screen. Can some one fix it or not.....................



Anyway, I hope someone read this my message and do something those problems, because I JUST LOVE THIS EMU SO MUST!!!

Bye!

Nevermind about Metal Combat. I had a bad rom; however, MMPR: The fighting Edition has messed up graphic on top while fighting. Rom works fine on 004; however, the bug showed up on 005. Again thanks.
