Your SNES rom images must be in the Super Magicom (SMC) or FIG format. Generally,

Cheats must be placed in the cheats folder and named identically to the ROM name,

Wii
----------
On the Wii, you can load roms from any SD card (Front SD, SD Gecko, etc). You
can also load from USB. Note that if you are using the Homebrew Channel, you
will first have to load Snes9xGx from SD, and then load your roms from USB.
You can also load roms now from a Windows network share (SMB). However, you will
have to edit s9xconfig.cpp with your network settings and recompile the source.

the entire apps folder to your sd card and run it with the HBC.

platforms (Mac/PC/Linux/Etc) and to save back to those platforms.
The only thing to be aware of is that Snes9xGx requires that the SRM file have a
name that is the rom name (not necessarily the same as the file name!) with .SRM
at the end. For example, the game "Super Mario All-Stars + World" has a rom name
of "ALL_STARS + WORLD", so the SRAM file should have the name "ALL_STARS +
WORLD.srm". You can see the rom name for a game by loading the game - the rom
name is shown in the information that is briefly shown at the bottom of the
screen. A perhaps easier way to find the correct name is simply to load the game
and then save SRAM to SD or SMB and look at the filename that Snes9xGx uses.
That's the name you should use when importing an SRAM from another platform.
To load a SRAM file on the Wii or Gamecube from another platform, ensure the
name of the SRM file matches the filename of the ROM (except with an SRM
extension).
To use an Snes9xGx SRAM on another platform just do the opposite: save SRAM to
SD or SMB, and then copy that saved SRAM file to the other platform. You may
have to rename the file to be what that version of snes9x expects it to be.
