I really want to be able to control stuff more easily by actually being able to 
move fast enough to make bentley bear escape deadly monsters on crystal castles 
and to be able to complete levels in a matter of seconds
as shown on this video.

I cannot survive because the classic controller is generally way too sensitive 
for me.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Place the attached zip file in the WiiMame artwork folder.
4. Select the DigDug ROM in WiiMame. Note that this happens with other layouts 
and other roms.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see the artwork with the game displayed in the middle. What I see 
instead is only the game with diagonal lines across it. I have noticed that if 
I make the png file smaller that it looks better, but I am having trouble 
having it fit right.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.6 version of the product. CIOS I think the Wii OS is called.


Please provide any additional information below.

Is there a way to activate VSync for a better graphic performance?

Hello! I'm trying to play BattleToads, but I can't get passed the ding-dang 
MAME Title Screen. It says I need more files, when in reality, I have the most 
files it needs to run properly on an ordinary PC MAME Emulator.

HELP, PLEASE!

?

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The game to load.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
The most recent on my Wii.

Can you please updated or downgrade SDL Mame Wii 0.5 into somthing like 
MAME Plus Plus! Kaillera 0.119 for the Wii! Because most roms that decrypt and 
decode don't work at all!! (The Arcade game would just send you back to the 
Homebrew loader after it's done decrypting and decoding)

Us SDL Mame Wii fans would really appreciated if you update SDL Mame Wii App 
more often.. [I'm just saying... Who doesn't want to play Battletoads Arcade or 
Marvels vs Capcom Arcade in the wii?) [Oh yeah.. Can you add Kaillera for the 
wii also!]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.type of roms this uses
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
latest version

Please provide any additional information below.
i try to DL Roms from diff site and it seem that they dont even display in the 
rom list when you start the emulator ? is there a special rom or a special way 
or a specific place a rom need to be from/packed or done to work with wii mame 
? cause the one i downloaded was in a  zip file and when i look inside the zip 
it has about 8 or 9 bin files. 

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Load the aplication (with USB plugged in)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
No roms detected


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.5, Windows XP - Windows7

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Install MameWii 1.0
2.Load more than 150 roms
3.Only the first 150 roms are displayed in the emulator

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

It would be great if it were possible to have the emulator display more than 
150 roms.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

1.0, Wii

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Load defender

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Game should start, instead I see random noise on the screen for a fraction
of a second before it returns to HBC.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
The one in this forum with the pacman fix (0.5+)

Please provide any additional information below.
Nothing comes to mind

I have a problem
When I chose a game from the list of games 
and i wait for complete %100 and then turns itself off to Homebrew
What do I do?l
and i'm sorry for my bad english

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Any game with an overlay such as bzone, but problem is in all games such as 
asteroids deluxe
2.Instead of 0 to 1 with 1 being brightest. Colors are calculated with 1 to 0 1 
being the darkest.
3.Changing the numbers in the .lay file can workarounds

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
bzone should be top red, bottom green. Instead it is top cyan (G+B), bottom 
magenta (R+B)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
.5 any.

Please provide any additional information below.
In bzone.lay file for artwork:
This is the original that results in cyan magenta color overlay
    <element name="overlay">
        <rect>
            <bounds left="0" top="0" right="1068" bottom="160" />
            <color red="1.0" green="0.125" blue="0.125" />
        </rect>
        <rect>
            <bounds left="0" top="160" right="1068" bottom="801" />
            <color red="0.125" green="1.0" blue="0.125" />
        </rect>
    </element>

If you change the numbers to this, the overlay colors displays as they should 
be red/green:

    </element>
    <element name="overlay">
        <rect>
            <bounds left="0" top="0" right="1068" bottom="160" />
            <color red="0.125" green="1.0" blue="1.0" />
        </rect>
        <rect>
            <bounds left="0" top="160" right="1068" bottom="801" />
            <color red="1.0" green="0.125" blue="1.0" />
        </rect>
    </element>

Therefore I suspect that the values are reversed with 1.0 being off/dark and 
0.0 being on/bright for each color channel or something like that.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Launch SDL-Mame Wii on a NTSC Wii (USA)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see the full screen. Instead the Top/Bottom are cut. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
The version provided with the pacman bug fix (0.5+ I guess)

Please provide any additional information below.
I haven't played with the safe area setting since it says that it's only on
older TV. I've got a pretty new LCD tv. I'm wondering if it is somehow
compiled for PAL TV which have a higher vertical resolution instead of
figuring out which is the TV resolution at runtime?

Great port other wise! Thanks!

I was trying to get hiscore saving enabled, is there anyway to get highscore 
enabled?
Im making save states now to solve my problem but when it automaticly saves the 
hiscore that would be awesome.

Thanks anyhow, you made an awesome emulator allready my favorite!

Greetings


David van den Berg

Why isn't there a way to exit the emulator once a rom is loaded?  You can 
select another game but if you want to go back to HBC or the Wii menu, you have 
to get up and hit the reset button on the console.

Thanks!

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
i have a 4.3 wii

Please provide any additional information below.

for whatever reason im not able to get mame in homebrew to find any of the rom 
games i have in the correct folder path for the newer version of the program 
for which there has already been another post that was made about this that has 
yet to been solved

https://code.google.com/p/sdl-mame-wii/issues/detail?id=29

but the older one that i tried finds them all just fine (except gauntlet 
legends but that game is basically just a legend at this point , and i also 
have the kinst problem too as stated here 
https://code.google.com/p/sdl-mame-wii/issues/detail?id=27)

the only difference i can notice between the working vs the non-working 
versions is that the new one's mame folder that goes in the apps folder is 
named "sdlmamewii" instead of just "mame" that the older version is , i tried 
renaming them to just "mame" but they were still incapable of finding any games 
, which i would assume is shity cause v0.4 can't seem to run most of the games 
i've tested very well and i assume the later versions will be able to run them 
better.....

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I startup mame. It loads and the menu is visible.
2. I can not browse the list of roms. Nor execute one.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The frozen menu

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

4.3


Please provide any additional information below.

I've been a follower of this great emulator, but, even with newer version, 
the PACMAN game is not working (check PUCKMAN or PACMAN).

Plus I was wondering if you can install the drivers for NASTAR (Rastan 
Saga II) and Warrior Blade (Rastan Saga III).

Thanks in advance.

When i try to run The Simpsons, the game start, but in the rom check screen the 
game restart all the time. I download the game from various web sites but 
always the same result

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.loading mame
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
emu to load rom

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
v.5 WII

Please provide any additional information below.
 I downloaded mame for wii cause i wanted to help test it. I have read the 
config and it says that games go in ROMS folder. I tried putting diff roms 
in the folder and every time i start the emu i get an error that says 
"cannot find roms" and how i should go read the config.txt. I even tried 
putting a roms folder in the root /mame folder/ apps folder/ and in the 
folder with where the mame dol is located. No matter where  put the roms at 
it give me the same error. I also tried unzipping the roms even tho the 
guides say not to just in case. but yea i tried ziped and unziped. Not sure 
what else could be the problem. I also tried looking at guides. all the 
guide on the net are extremely old and refer to folder and files and 
locations that mame wii no longer uses. I even posted in a forum called 
wiihack.com and the answer i got is "everybody is having similar issue". I 
posted this here cause i assume this is a glitch loading roms and not an 
error on my part since i believe i have tried everything

thanks for you time

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Won't work with wiimote with motion plus built-in

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
wiimote turns off

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
wii mame 1.0

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Install mame wii as instructed, sdlmamewii in apps folder and mame folder in 
root. On SD Card
2.Place mame rom.zip in roms folder root/mame/roms, have also tried root/roms. 
On SD Card.
3.Run SDL Mame Wii from Homebrew Channel.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see mame roms to play but instead i get an error message "no games 
found" and to consult the config.txt in the docs folder.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
v0.6 on 4.1U softmodded wii

Please provide any additional information below.
This is my first time trying SDL Mame Wii. I've read that some roms are not 
compatible with this. I've tried rtype and rtype II mame roms. But I expected 
them to display but just not load if they were unsupported instead of telling 
me "no games found" as if they were in the wrong place or something.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Start MAME
2. Attempt to load either SSF2 or SSF2T (world)
  -both listed by MAME as working.
3. Screen loads and decrypts, followed by graphic glitch on screen and
reboot to homebrew channel.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Graphics glitch followed by reboot to homebrew channel

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest version of sdl-mame, .5 .114u4.
Original Wii from release in 06.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Play any game that worked on 0.5
2. After about a minute (sometimes sooner) wii freezes and locks up


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I used this emu yesterday and after about 10mins of play it was ok. Today the 
only thing I did that I think was different was reconfigure the emulators 
general controls in the GUI. It didn't crash on the previous build (with the 
same games like final fight, altered beast, golden axe etc) but now the emu 
seems to crash quite often.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.6 via newest hbc and on a 8gb hdsc card.

Please provide any additional information below.


I deleted all my previous files and configs from the previous release (apart 
from my roms folder) incase any previous files would affect the emu. I've 
attaced the error config file that came up after my last crash on Final Fight.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Start browsing your roms collection bigger than 150 roms.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The list chops out and the last roms are never seen, I think it only 
manages to see 150 or 160 roms, needs a bigger browsing.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest and last betas, all the same.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Load the games "kinst" or "kinst2"...


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Both the games should at least start loading, because the drivers are included, 
as mentioned in:
http://www.toadking.com/wiimame-0.4.txt
But instead the usual error message shows up:
"The selected game is missing one or more required ROM or CHD images.
Please select a different game."


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

v0.6 Wii


Please provide any additional information below.

I've checked my "kinst.zip" file (downloaded from www_mamest_com) and it has 
the exact same filenames and CRCs as the ones mentioned in 
"\trunk\src\mame\drivers\kinst.c":

ROM_LOAD( "ki-l15d.u98", 0x00000, 0x80000, CRC(7b65ca3d)

So, I don't know why it does not work... :(
Can you fix this problem, please?

Please provide any additional information below.
I was reading the original mame project and it seem that mame can play neo geo 
game assuming you have neo geo bios. Is this true with the wii version of mame? 
and if not will it be eventually supported ?

Thanks

 code dump on exit if launched from a channel 

please i need sdlmame r8 and thank you

I love Mame for wii but need a new complete GUI, Its very messy for Wii :S

It could be great a GUI like to USB Loader/SaveGame Manager or more like to 
VBAdvance/FCEUX/SNES9X or maybe simple like to Hugo-Wii/Atari 7800

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run asteroids
2. Screen is mostly black
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It should display vector lines of the objects on the screen. MOstly a black
screen

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
the sdlmame-pacman (0.5+)

Please provide any additional information below.
I edited mame.ini to change the beam value from 1.0 to 2.0 and could see a
few more things. Not sure if I should keep on bumping it up or if it is a
bug that needs fixing.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Just load any game on SD TV 480i component
2. Pay attention on the blurry image

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

We just need a option to turn filtered image ON and OFF, just like other 
emulators have. When I say filtered image I mean the blurry bilinear filter. 
Also, it could be awesome to have some way of running the emulator under 240p 
(when 480i component), just like SNES9X-GX, FCEU-GX, GEN-GX and HuGo GX.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

sdlmame-wii-v0.6

Please provide any additional information below.

Here is the most solid example possible to a my desired suggestion - just run 
SHINOBI (Arcade Virtual Console) on a 480i connection on a CRT TV. It runs 
simply exactly perfectly as the real 80's arcade.

Hello Toad King! :)

As you already know, some roms like "mpang", "dstlk", "nwarr", etc fail to load 
correctly because of memory problems... :(
In "errors.txt" messages like this one appear:
Failed to allocate 16777216 bytes (src/emu/drawgfx.c:175)

I understand that this happens because of the memory limitations of the Wii: 
there are only 19MB available for applications in the MEM1 (1T-SRAM) area.

But aren't you forgetting about the 64MB of memory in the MEM2 (GDDR3 RAM) 
area? ;)
http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Memory_Map
http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Hardware/Main_Memory

Quoting...
"During normal operation, IOS reserves the upper 12-16MB of MEM2 for its own 
use; the rest can freely be used for code or data by running PPC code."

So, isn't there a way to take advantage of that extra available memory?
And since the errors occur in "drawgfx.c" I guess it could even be used to 
store graphics data! :P

Could this be done? ;)

Changed visible games in list

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Start SDL MAME Wii.
2.Open up rom.
3.Returns to Homebrew Channel.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
If I try to open Super Gem Fighter: Mini Mix, it decrypts to 97% then returns 
to the Homebrew Channel. Hyper Street Fighter 2 doesn't load at all, even 
though SDL MAME Wii says both roms are working.  

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.6 on a softmodded Wii on 4.3U.

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.enther HBC
2.load mame
3.after enter the rom select screen, press any button or A button.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
enter ROM and play game.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
WII 4.1, HBC 0.8, MAME 1.0

Please provide any additional information below.
after crash, there show some prompt about dump address,
and only can long press the wii power button to reboot wii.
MAME 0.6 is OK to run on my system, but can't support Classic Controller Pro. 
so can't play street fighter etc. game :(

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Load the Capcom game 'Gunsmoke'
2. It code dumps each time


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

It's an early game and not a very big rom so I thought it would work fine
but it cashes the wii.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

The pacman build that was posted on here.

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
0. Note: Wii already softmodded - various homebrew software and console 
emulators work fine.
1. SDLMame Wii installed on SD card.
2. ROMs loaded on USB hard drive.
3. Attempt to launch from SD card using Homebrew Channel.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
White-on-red "No games found. Please check the rompath specified in the 
mame.ini file." error screen.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.5(MAME 0.134u4) on softmodded Nintendo Wii.

Please provide any additional information below.
I'm not sure if this is an issue or simply that I have no idea what I'm doing. 
I promise I've done the requisite googling and have read everything in the Docs 
folder included with the distribution; I can't find an adequare answer either 
way. The only material I can find on USB drives is the WiiBrew entry for 
SDLMAME Wii, which (like almost every other reference I found via google for 
'sdlmame wii usb') says that USB drive support is enabled by running the app 
from the USB drive in question. That doesn't make sense to me; I see no way to 
do so (the only way I can find to run homebrew on the Wii is via the Homebrew 
Channel, which is as far as I can tell limited to the SD card).

For sake of comparison, I've got the FCE Ultra GX (NES) type emulators 
available through Homebrew Browser working perfectly; I suppose I sort of 
assumed that the MAME emulator would have a similar browse-to-device function. 
Is that assumption just wrong, or am I completely missing the proper 
post-download methodology to get this thing up and running?

Any help, including "here, read this, stupid" with an appropriate link, would 
be appreciated.

instead of the bezel artwork I see a few diagonal white lines going across
the screen

Please provide any additional information below.
I wonder if it's the artwork is huge (from my PC version) and should be
scaled before or while loading?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I configure the controls for Player 2 on my second joystick.
2. After configuring, when Player 1 ends his/her turn, the controls for Player 
2 will not work, only his/her player start button works.
3. Instead, Player 1's joystick controls all of Player 2's actions.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
 I want the player with the second controller to play as Player 2, but instead the inputs are read by the first controller.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
 MAME Wii Version 1.0

Please provide any additional information below.
 Nothing else I can add, just want to see if there is a way to play 2 Player alternating games such as Shinobi on MAME Wii.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. After playing over 4 or 5 different games in a row there is no sound
output for any games. Only way for it to return to normal is to re-boot the emu

What is the expected output? 

Sound to be heard.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

The latest 0.5

Please provide any additional information below.

I'd guess its maybe a memry not clearing after each game is loaded?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run the new SDL Mame wii 1.0 with a non-TR Wiimote with Nunchuck attached
2. Run any of our standard roms, example could be Galagy, hit "home" with your 
Wiimote while in either the Mame front loader screen or after going into a Rom, 
for example Galagy. While running rom, hit Home / Input this Game / P1 Left / 
and attempt to push the Nunchuck left to be it be detected as a programmable 
movement. Wii Mame DOES NOT detect the Nunchucks movements. Unsure how to work 
around this ? Have tried hitting the Nunchucks C and Z key to try to get Sdl 
Wii Mame to detect some kind of Nunchuck movement but no dice.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Being able to map Nunchuck movements to Mame programmable movements.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
SDL Mame 1.0 by Toadking running on Wii OS 4.1u

Please provide any additional information below.
Gamecube controller works perfectly, but we better get full-on Wiimote support 
with Nunchuck working for newer Wii's that don't have Gamecube controller 
support, for the entire community :) A joystick (Nunchuck) with a Wiimote would 
be amazing, and an easy way to enjoy Mame games on the Wii. It should be noted 
that we all owe Toadking a beer for his hardwork as this SDL Wii Mame setup, is 
freeken perfect! Zero long waits to load standard roms and solid support for 
most popular roms.
