Snes9x GX is a Super Nintendo™ / Super Famicom emulator for the Nintendo Wii.
|
||
Snes9x GX is a port of Snes9x 1.51 (http://snes9x.ipherswipsite.com). It was
|
||
originally ported by SoftDev for the GameCube, and has been worked on by
|
||
various authors. Development has since moved to the Wii, and the project is
|
||
currently being maintained by Tantric and michniewski.
|
||
|
||
Snes9x GX is a "homebrew application" which means you will need a way to run
|
||
unsigned code on your Nintendo Wii. The best website for getting started with
|
||
Wii homebrew is WiiBrew (www.wiibrew.org).

| INSTALLATION |
|
||
•˜———–—––-- - —————————––––– ———–—––-- - —————————––––– ———–—––-- - ————————•
|
||
|
||
To install Snes9x GX you will need to copy over the "apps" and "snes9x"
|
||
folders (directories) from this archive to your SD Card. It comes
|
||
pre-packaged in the Homebrew Channel format (which you will use to launch
|
||
the emulator). Once you've copied the directories to your SD Card you will
|
||
need to place your ROM image(s) into "\snes9x\roms" directory and place any
|
||
cheat code files (optional) in the "\snes9x\cheats" directory. Once this is
|
||
done you can proceed to run the emulator via the Homebrew Channel.
|
||
|
||

| INITIAL SETUP |
|
||
•˜———–—––-- - —————————––––– ———–—––-- - —————————––––– ———–—––-- - ————————•
|
||
|
||
If you are upgrading from a previous version you will need to remove the
|
||
"settings.xml" file from "\apps\Snes9xGX" directory on your SD Card. If you
|
||
are not upgrading then don't worry about it.
|
||
|
||
The first time you run Snes9x GX it will create a new "settings.xml" file on
|
||
the SD Card which stores the configuration of the emulator. So when you run
|
||
Snes9x GX it will automatically detect your storage medium and will bring you
|
||
to the ROM selection screen. If you want to run a game with the default
|
||
settings then just highlight the game and press "A" on it and it will load.
|
||
However, you can configure SNES9X to your liking.

|
||
|
||
To configure Snes9x GX press "A" on the "Settings" box. This will brings up
|
||
the "Settings" screen where you can configure the Button Mappings, Video,
|
||
Saving, Menu and Network. You can also restore the settings to their initial
|
||
values by clicking on the "Reset Settings" and you can return to the ROM
|
||
selection screen by clicking on "Go Back".
|
||
|
||
--•[ Button Mappings ]•--
|
||
|
||
Once in the Button Mappings settings menu you'll have the option to pick to
|
||
configure the SNES Controller, Super Scope, SNES Mouse and the Justifier.
|
||
Once you select a controller to configure you will be presented with which
|
||
input device you would like to configure. To set the button simply click on
|
||
the input device you wish to use and then pick the button you wish to map.
|
||
After you select a button to configure Snes9x GX will prompt you to press
|
||
the button you wish to assign to the button you've selected. Below is a list
|
||
of each controller followed by the input devices and the default values for
|

--•[ SAVING & LOADING ]•--
|
||
|
||
From this setup option you can configure the way Snes9x GX loads and saves.
|
||
Your options are Load Method, Load Folder, Save Method, Save Folder, Auto
|
||
Load and Auto Save. Clicking on all of the options except the folders will
|
||
let you toggle through their settings. Clicking on the folder options will
|
||
bring up a text box where you can enter in the folder you wish to use for
|
||
your save data. Snes9x GX has two types of saves - one is the SRAM which is
|
||
the save game data (this is only applicable if the game you're playing
|
||
supports saving) and the other is Snapshots which are real time saves. Real
|
||
time saves allow you to save your game in it's current state and resume it
|
||
at a later time.
|
||
|
||
• Load Method - SD, USB, DVD, Network and Auto
|
||
|
||
• Save Method - SD, USB, Network and Auto
|
||
|
||
• Auto Load - SRAM, Snapshot and Off
|
||
|
||
• Auto Save - SRAM, Snapshot and Off
|
||
|
||
--•[ MENU ]•--
|
||
|
||
This settings screen will allow you to customize a few aspects on how the
|
||
Menu works including the Exit Action, Wiimote Orientation, Music Volume and
|
||
the Sound Effects Volume. The Exit Action can be set to "Return to Loader",
|
||
"Return to Wii Menu" and "Power off Wii". The Wiimote Orientation can be set
|
||
to Vertical or Horizontal and then you can increase and decrease the Music
|
||
and Sound Effects Volume.
|
||
|
||
--•[ NETWORK ]•--
|
||
|
||
If you're going to be using your Network (LAN) to load and/or save from you
|
||
will need to enter in the SMB share settings you've setup on your computer
|
||
via this settings menu. You will need to enter in the SMB Share IP, Share
|
||
Name, Share Username and Share Password. If you do not have a password on
|
||
your SMB share then set the SMB Share Password to "0".

•˜———–—––-- - —————————––––– ———–—––-- - —————————––––– ———–—––-- - ————————•
|
||
|
||
The File Browser will automatically load when you start the emulator and it
|
||
will automatically list the contents of the "\snes9x\roms\" directory on your
|
||
SD card. Like mentioned above in the Configuration -> Saving & Loading you
|
||
can specifically a different directory to load from. To launch a game (the
|
||
game can either be uncompressed or inside a ZIP archive) simply click on it
|
||
and it will load. You may also change the directory you're in by clicking
|
||
on "Up One Level".

|

|

Once you load a game you can access another option menu by pressing the
|
||
"Home" button. This will bring up the Save, Load, Reset, Controller and
|
||
Cheats options. From this menu you can also return to the File Browser by
|
||
selecting "Main Menu". To leave the menu and resume game play select "Close".
|
||
|
||
The Save option will allow you to save either your SRAM or a Snapshot. Once
|
||
you've selected Save two options will appear named "New SRAM" and "New
|
||
Snapshot". Clicking on these will create a new save. Once you have a save
|
||
you can save over it by selecting it instead of a "New" option. The Load
|
||
option will allow you to load your saved SRAM or Snapshot. Reset will reset
|
||
the game. If you pick Controller you can toggle between which controller you
|
||
wish to use to control your game with. The last option, Cheats, will allow you
|
||
to toggle your cheat codes (see below).

•˜———–—––-- - —————————––––– ———–—––-- - —————————––––– ———–—––-- - ————————•
|
||
|
||
Cheats are loaded from the "\snes9x\cheats" directory and must be in the
|
||
SNES9X .CHT file format. They also must be named the same name as the game
|
||
you're playing with the .cht extentsion. An example would be if you have a
|
||
ROM called "Super Mario World.smc" you would need to name your .cht file to
|
||
"Super Mario World.cht". You can find a link to a massive collection of Super
|
||
NES cheat codes in the Links section (below).

•˜———–—––-- - —————————––––– ———–—––-- - —————————––––– ———–—––-- - ————————•
|
||
|

TurboMode increases the playback speed of the game by about 2x. To use
|
||
TurboMode simply press the c-stick (yellow control stick) to the right and
|
||
hold it right as long as you want playback to be double-speed. Release the
|
||
c-stick when you want normal playback speed to resume.

|

|
||
Snes9x GX now includes the ability to load SRAM from Snes9x on other
|
||
platforms (Mac/PC/Linux/etc) and to save back to those platforms.
|
||
|
||
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 a Wii/GameCube SRAM file on another platform just do the opposite:
|
||
copy the 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.

|
||
•˜———–—––-- - —————————––––– ———–—––-- - —————————––––– ———–—––-- - ————————•
|
||
|
||
[2.0.1b8]
|
||
* Added: SD slot B options for freezes, sram and loading of roms
|
||
* Changed: SMB options no longer displayed in menus when run on a Wii
|
||
* Changed: Game auto resumes running after resetting when choosing the "Reset
|
||
Game" menu option
|
||
* Fixed (maybe): Reading of DVDs past the 1.36 GB barrier (Wii only) please
|
||
test! - svpe
|
||
|
||
[2.0.1b7]
|
||
* Fixed: Zip compressed freezes to memory card could become corrupted as the
|
||
file size changed - fixed this by deleting the existing file before writing
|
||
a new one if the file size increased. If the file got smaller or stayed the
|
||
same the original file is updated, using less of the existing file if the
|
||
actual file size is smaller. A check is made before deleting the existing
|
||
freeze file to ensure that there is enough space available for the new
|
||
file. Note that additional space equivalent to the new file size must be
|
||
available. If not enough space is available the original freeze is retained
|
||
and the user is informed of the lack of space.
|
||
* Fixed: If option to auto-load freeze was selected, joypad config would not
|
||
be restored since that is stored in SRAM. Resolved this for now by first
|
||
loading SRAM if any and then loading the freeze. Obviously having to have
|
||
both SRAM and freeze is not ideal, but this gets the job done if you have
|
||
enough space on your memory card, SD card, etc.
|
||
* Added prompt when returning to the menu with autosave enabled allowing the
|
||
user choose whether or not to perform the save. Press A to save or B if you
|
||
don't wish to save.
|
||
* Added optional verification of Gamecube memory card saves. After writing
|
||
the file it reads it back in and verifies that the written file matches
|
||
what was to be saved. If it doesn't or if there was a problem opening the
|
||
file it reports the problem to the user. Set this option in the preferences
|
||
if desired.
|
||
* Added Reset Gamecube/Wii menu item
|
||
* Experimental DVD support for reading beyond 1.36 GB barrier on Wii. I have
|
||
no way to test this, so please report on whether or not it works! Based on
|
||
svpe's code.
|
||
|
||
NOTE: due to changes in the settings, this version will reset your emulator
|
||
options settings, so if you had saved preferences you will need to make your
|
||
changes to the emulator settings again and save them.
|
||
|
||
[2.0.1b6a]
|
||
* Fixed: Going up a directory when selecting a rom on a DVD wasn't working
|
||
|
||
[2.0.1b6]
|
||
* PAL Wii support - no separate version necessary! - eke-eke
|
||
* PAL roms now play at correct speed via internal timer, ntsc roms still use
|
||
more accurate VSYNC timing - eke-eke
|
||
* Zipped freezes to memory card - take 9-12 blocks or so - based on denman's
|
||
code
|
||
* Added option for auto save and load of freezes. For saving, can do both SRAM
|
||
and Freeze if desired
|
||
* Memory card saving and loading shows a progress bar
|
||
* More miscellaneous ease-of-use improvements and cleanup
|
||
* Fixed: pressing B to get out of a rom file selection screen no longer drops
|
||
you all the way back to the main menu. Now goes back to choice of where to
|
||
load ROM (the "Load from DVD", "Load from SMB"... screen)
|
||
* Fixed: loading of joypad configuration in SRAM works again - no longer gets
|
||
messed up
|
||
|
||
[2.0.1b5]
|
||
* B button implemented in all menus (returns to previous menu)
|
||
* Fixed bug when freezing state to SD card - would crash if SD support was not
|
||
previously initialized
|
||
* Fixed double A button press needed after manual prefs/sram save to memory card
|
||
* Fixed delay after pressing A button after saving freeze to SD card
|
||
* Fixed problem of ".srm" SRAM file being created when SRAM was saved with no
|
||
ROM loaded
|
||
* Fixed version number in SRAM and preferences
|
||
* Minor other code revisions
|
||
|
||
