Wiibrew Emulator: Snes9xGX - Wii Homebrew - Image 1 


A new version is out for the popular Snes9X emulator, this time from Wii homebrew developer michniewski. Called Snes9xGX, this emulator has support for the Wiimote, as well as the nunchuk and the Wii Classic Controller.

What's neat is that all the controllers in this emulator can be configured. Michniewski also notes that the emulator needs only one global configuration per controller. The emulator even has a GameCube version, although this is still untested.

Be sure to read the documentation included with the download. Here's the changelog since the intial release:

[What's New 002]
  • added: classic and nunchuk support
  • added: all controllers can now be configured
  • added: GC version (untested)
  • changed: mappings are no longer stored in SRAM, but in config file. This means no per-game configurations, but one global config per controller.
  • one makefile to make all versions. (thanks to snes9x143 SVN)
[What Was New 001]
  • compiles with latest devkitppc (r15)
  • now uses libfat (can use front sd slot on wii)
  • updated menu items a bit
  • wiimote support
  • fixed: autoload sram/freeze
  • fixed: rom plays immediately after loading

» i do not see the point of this emu.

i use classic controller and LoPsT's snes9x v3.1.

since v3.1 emu already supported classic controller and default key config already mapped the same as snes, the snes9xgx's function is no improve even though it is a later release compare to v3.1. the interface are ugly and not user-friendly and on top of that, it doesn't seem to read roms and saves the same path like most emu do(x:\(emu name)\roms), at least not by default. i guess this emu aims for flexibility, but other emu are just as flexible on reading roms and include default read path that this gx one lacks. with default read path, you can just drop your rom in and than launch instead of browsing for it on first use or possibly on every use.

does this emu runs rom better? i see 99% of roms running perfectly on snes9x v3.1
