Snes9x GX 008: SD card access fix, auto-update feature

Posted Dec 27, 2008 at 10:55AM by QJ Staff Listed in: Wii Tags: michniewski, SNES, Snes9x, Space Invaders, Super Mario

Wiibrew developers michniewski and Tantric have released a new version of Snes9x GX, the SNES emulator for the Wii.

This version has several optimizations you won't want to miss. Here's the changelog:

Fixed unstable SD card access
Proper SD/USB hotswap (Wii only)
Auto-update feature (Wii only)
Rewritten SMB access - speed boost, NTLM now supported (Wii only)
Improved file access code
Resetting preferences now resets controls
Fixed "invalid file size" error on smaller games (eg: Space Invaders)
Fixed hangup in Super Mario RPG
Minor bug fixes

This remains one of the best emus I've seen so far, and for one of the best consoles I've ever owned, I should add. I miss my SNES. Anyway, before I drift into video game nostalgia, here's the list of the emu's current features, for the benefit of those unfamiliar with it:

Based on Snes9x 1.51 - superior ROM compatibility
Wiimote, Nunchuk, Classic, and Gamecube controller support
SNES Superscope, Mouse, Justifier support
Cheat support
Auto Load/Save Game Snapshots and SRAM
Custom controller configurations
SD, USB, DVD (requires DVDx), SMB, GC Memory Card, Zip, and 7z support
Autodetect PAL/NTSC, 16:9 widescreen support
Original/filtered/unfiltered video modes
Turbo Mode - up to 2x the normal speed
Zoom option to zoom in/out
Open Source!
