    WiiMednafen is a partial port of the Mednafen emulator.

    Emulators supported:
    GameBoy/GameBoy Color
    GameBoy Advance
    Game Gear
    Lynx
    Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)
    Neo Geo Pocket
    PC Engine (CD)/TurboGrafx 16 (CD)/SuperGrafx (Fast version)
    PC-FX
    Sega Master System
    Virtual Boy
    WonderSwan

    It should be noted that the Virtual Boy emulation included with this emulator is much improved over WiirtualBoy. Most games now run at 100% speed without frame skipping. These improvements are due entirely to Ryphecha (Mednafen) who optimized the core emulation code in addition to eliminating idle loops on a per game basis.



    Download WiiMednafen v0.1
    Download Wii Mednafen Channel

    Installation

    To install WiiMednafen, extract the zip file directly to your SD card or USB device (retain the hierarchical structure exactly).
    Game ROMs and CD images can be loaded via SD, USB, and SMB (Network).
    NOTE: The "/wiimednafen" directory (containing saves, BIOS images, etc.) must reside on the same device as the "/apps/wiimednafen" directory (containing the application binary). These two directories must not be split across two different devices. However, game ROMs and CD images can be loaded from any of the available devices (SD, USB, or SMB (Network)).

    Changelog

      Wrong all roms have been tested and work (American and Japanese). Use a valid rom set. And no, the fact that some roms work in Hugo and not in WiiMednafen is not proof it is a good rom. Get a no-intro set (which contains proper dumps) and everything will work for you.
