#Snes emulators on wii with gui Pc#
Some of the more advanced games for its time, such as Star Fox/Starwing, appear to have more lag than the PC emulator counterpart, but besides that the emulator works just fine. This however had been gradually ironed out, and now the emulator has no real game-breaking issues that I could find. The Wii emulator has had a long history of problems in the past, corrupting save files, occaisionally people’s ROMs, as well as having some speed and GUI issues.

The emulator itself is quite impressive, and the code is based on Snes9x 1.51. That said, Snes9X GX is one of three emulators ported and maintained, and in turn updated on the Wii, by Tantric and Carl Kenner. It has nothing to do with most of the GX programs being made by the same group of people. Nonetheless, playing a GBA or GBC game on the Wii is quite awesome, and having this emulator in particular is a must-have if you have a Wii enabled with Homebrew.īefore I metion anything else, I’ll make it clear that the “GX” brand is because of the type of code that is involved. Overall, if you’re a Pokemon fan, you may be frustrated by lag in some visually impressive areas. I should also remind you that just like a real Game Boy Advance, it supports original Game Boy and Game Boy Color games.
Their implementations of the new Wii-friendly GUI are the same as is in this emulator, and done well.
The port is maintained by Tantric and Carl Kenner, the same people who maintain FCE Ultra GX and Snes9x GX. I suspect it’s to do with the Wii hardware. There are some speed issues in a few games that use lots of graphics (Pokemon Sapphire, in the cave near Verdanturf Town for example) but I can’t seem to narrow down the problem specifically. While I personally consider it to be inferior in terms of accuracy and frame rate compared to NO$GBA, the Wii port of VBA-M (currently the only active emulator intended to port all functionality from other versions of VBA) is surprisingly good. In the case of VisualBoyAdvance, it has had many incarnations of itself since the original project was discontinued in 2005, and has been ported to many operating systems. Game Boy Advance emulation has been seen as a large focal point of emulation and its smudged line between emulation of technology and blatent piracy for some time. Even if you’re not you should have it there for the few games you may like. If you’re a fan of the SNES, get this emulator on your homebrew-enabled Wii. Every popular game available for the SNES is playable and running just fine. Besides that, the emulator is a must-have. The only real issue I’ve had is some lag with some 3D games such as Starwing and the beta of Starfox 2, which I swear did not occur as badly on the PC version. It has had a history of save file corruption, one that has lasted longer than the rest, but I assure you in the recent releases I have not had this problem. Snes9X GX for the Wii is arguably one of the most popular emulators around, and is also maintained by Tantric and Carl Kenner using their new Wii GUI. It has been ported to many platforms and consoles unofficially, and the Wii is no exception. Emulation of the device has been successful with Snes9X, being the SNES equivalent to Kega Fusion. It’s hardware is technically superior to the Sega Megadrive, though its music is MIDI-based instead of using FM synthesizers like the YM2612 chip in the Megadrive. Along with most of the Nintendo consoles, the SNES/Super NES/Super Famicom has a large gaming audience.
