Visual Boy Advance Version v1.7.2 (Beta) (GBA emu for Wii)

This is a release from last week, which was actually recognized, but not posted. In shame here are the late news:

emu_kidid one of the guys at http://www.tehskeen.com has released an early port of VBA to Nintendo’s Wii.

Readme:

Visual Boy Advance Version 1.7.2 Port to Wii

Please note, this is just a WIP build for testing. I’m not responsible for anyones
SD cards becoming corrupted/formatted/etc.

Features:
SD Gecko ROM loading (for now)
SD Gecko Native save/load support
Gamecube PAD support only (for now)
Up to 32mb (256MBIT) ROM support

Usage:
– Place all ROMS on the SDCARD in /VBA/ROMS/
– Create a directory /VBA/SAVES/
– Place your BIOS.GBA in /VBA/BIOS/ (if you have one)
– Boot boot.elf with the tp loader (or whatever else).
– Once loaded, put the SDCARD into your SDGecko (SlotA) and press A.
– Load a ROM, enjoy.
– To access the ingame menu, press X+Y.
– For now, you’ll have to exit to the loader to load another ROM.
– To save your game, after saving in a game, go to the menu and then save.
– Saves are loaded automatically if they are found.

The source is provided but I’ve set the optimization level to -O0 so you can
compile it on dkPPC r14 (but it won’t be 100% speed).
To compile this properly, it was quite a mess, as I had to use dkPPC R13 to
compile GBA.cpp and then R14 for the rest.. I’ll try to sort out the issues, but for
now, the binary provided works fine.

Thanks to:
Forgotten for VBA ( http://vba.ngemu.com/ )
shagkur/Wintermute for libOGC
bushing,segher,tmbinc for making wii homebrew possible
softdev for his GC port of VBA172

All-in-1 Emuloader (Wii misc)

This is a program that enables you to load emulators on your Nintendo Gamecube/Wii, using a nice graphical interface:

Current supported emulators are:

– Genesis Plus (Sega Megadrive)
– SMS Plus (Sega Master System & Game Gear)
– FCEuGC (Nintendo Entertainment System)
– GnuboyGX (Gameboy & Gameboy Color)
– Snes9xGX (Super Nintendo)
– HugoGC (NEC Pc-Engine)
– NeoPop (SNK NeoGeo Pocket)
– Neo-CD Redux (SNK NeoGeo CD)

The emulators are NOT provided with the loader.

This project is now splitted in two separated applications:

1) emuloader.dol is running in GC mode, it needs to be packed with a 7zip archive containing the emulators you want to use, see the [GAMECUBE Version] section below and follow the installation steps.

2) emuloader_wii.elf, emuloader_wii_pal60.elf are running in Wii mode. You can directly boot the appropriate version with your favorite elf loader. DOLS version are also provided. See the [WII] section below to know how to use the application.

Wii Version
This is just another basic Front SD elf/dol loader that looks for known emulators.
To use it, simply follow the steps below:

1/ create a directory at the root the SDCARD (FAT16 format only) and named it “emuloader” (without the quotes)

2/ place any supported .dol or .elf emulators you want in this directory:

– Do NOT modify the original emulator filename, the loader is looking for specific strings inside filenames in order to detect which emulator is present or not:

– Genesis Plus —> genplus
– SMS Plus —> smsplus
– FCEuGC —> fceugc
– GnuboyGX —> gnuboy
– Snes9xGX —> snes9x
– HugoGC —> hugo

– Obviously, only use “wii mode” versions of these emulators, GC versions won’t work properly in Wii mode !

3/ launch emuloader_wii*.elf or.dol with the method of your choice (for example, using TP Hack). In the menu, the following keys are used (Note that you still need a Gamecube controller):

. Button A: lauch the selected emulator
. Analog Stick, Left/right button: select another emulator
. Z Trigger: Reboot TP loader

NOTE: if you have a PAL Wii, always use the PAL60 version.

MAG Loader v0.1 (Wii Application)

MAG/PiratePila and AntonioND have released a new front SD Card loading utility for the Nintendo Wii. It supports loading ELF and DOL (Wii Mode) and is booted using normal methods such as the Twilight Hack, Trucha Signer and Homebrew Chanel.

How to use:

1) Format your SD card to FAT/FAT16.
2) Decompress MAG_Loader.rar
3) Rename the magloader.elf to boot.elf and copy it to the root of your SD card. The elf also creates a called folder (in the same root). In this folder you will have to put all the ELF and DOL that you want to load with the MAG Loader.
4) Insert the SD in the Wii and load boot.elf from the homebrew channel or twilight hack and now you can enjoy all your ELF in Wii.

Thanks to http://www.tehskeen.com for the news.
