• Yabause Wii r2888 beta25


    Yabause Wii is the Wii version of Yabause, a Sega Saturn emulator, and is the first for Wii to emulate the complex processes of the Sega Saturn. The Wii port is not released officially. Some unofficial versions have been released. Note that the Wii port is in testable status, and won't be officially supported until a later date. You must not ask the Yabause Team about unofficial versions.

    How to set up:

    1. Copy the contents in the HBC directory to your SD (includeing SDHC) card or USB storage.
    2. Copy game ROMs files (.cue with .bin or .iso) to SSROMS directory.

    Optional: If you want, copy the bios file of the Sega Saturn to SSROMS directory as the name "bios.bin" (But, the default setting is "Without bios". So, if you want to use bios, please set the "With bios" in the Settings submenu). The current version of Yabause Wii can execute games without BIOS. Some games need the bios file to run normally.

    Morover, you can use the bios utilities (catridge management (remove, copy, etc.), etc.), when you set the "Bios only" in the Settings submenu.

    When there are game files in both SD card and USB storage, the game files in SD card are given to priority.

    How to use:

    1. Load this emulator by a loader such as the homebrew channel.
    2. Select the "Load ISO/CUE" menu. The game files in the SSROMS directory are displayed.
    3. Select a game. you got to cartridge submenu. Some games need to select the proper cartridge.
    4. Select the proper cartridge, you return to the main menu.
    5. Select the "Start emulation".

      Hi, any info on what the proper cartridge means. Is there a compatibility list somewhere. I've found very little info on the wii version of this emulator.

      The Saturn had a big slot in the back where you could plug carts in. There were carts for everything back in the day. That's how we used to play Japanese imports, cheat, save games, and all that. In this case they mean what size RAM cart if required by the game. I don't know if there is a compatibility list yet but seeing as how development is renewed I might show some Sega love and play with the Wii version of Yabuse when I complete my MAME compatibility list.

      Thanks Darkcide666. I had a Saturn back in the day (I've still got it boxed up somewhere along with a copy of Guardian Heroes), but I dont think I ever knew about the carts. I may try playing with Yabause again.

      All games or specific games? Compatibility isn't very good but I can't find a Wii specific compatibility guide. i would like to play around with it more but I'm wearing myself a bit thin at the moment.

      Is there any way for it to load games from an USB Hd?

      It seems to only look for games in the SD just like the non fixed Wii64 and WiiSX...

      And Two Saturn Isos ought to load up all my SD card...

      Anyone knows if Panzer Dragoon Saga is playable? I never had a Saturn and I'm dying to play this game, no decent mac emulator either, so I was hoping the game was playable in the wii

      Guardian Heroes for me makes it to the opening cinema, then goes black and does nothing. Have it ripped from an american CD version as bin/cue. Maybe if someone tried to do it as an ISO? My copy is in storage with my saturn so I can't rerip it for a few days.
