SNES and Mega Drive support? about wii-mednafen HOT 17 CLOSED

Yeah, I decided to skip those two for the initial release as there are already 
great ports for the Wii. I will be adding MD in the future, but I am doubting 
that I will include SNES. It is based off BSNES and I am sure the performance 
will be less than adequate.

Yeah, no way will BSNES run at any playable speed on a Wii. Unless you use the 
performance core, and that's pushing it a lot and you might as well use SNES9X 
at that point.

Thanks, it's great to finally see someone complete a Mednafen port, after all 
these years.

Just so that you know, Mednafen's MD core is using an outdated version of 
Genesis Plus, which has a lot of compatibility/accuracy issues, especially with 
sound emulation or some games that won't work properly. To compare, it's very 
similar with the initial port released by Softdev on Game Cube (uses the same 
code base, more or less).

Now, it should be possible to backport Genesis Plus GX updated cores in this 
but it would also probably requires lot of work and some insight of emulation 
inner working, not sure if you want to go that way. Same goes for Mednafen 
MS/GG emulators by the way since they are based on an old version of SMS Plus.

That said, it would be interesting to see how BSNES is running on Wii. PC-FX 
seems to run slow but it's still an interesting achievement.

Thanks eke-eke!

Yeah, I am aware that the MD code base is quite out of date as compared to the 
tremendous amount of work you have put into it. Which is why I figured it was 
not really worth including. BTW, the manual you created to go along with your 
port is extremely professional! 

To be honest, I was initially just going to release a WonderSwan port. However, 
so much of the code would have been replicated with the Virtual Boy port that I 
figured, I might as well go ahead and port the majority of Mednafen. I knew it 
fixed some Lynx issues and that the PCE support is pretty solid.

PC-FX is definitely slow (especially during FMV playback). Up to this point, 
most of my time has really been spent tracking down memory leaks, file leaks, 
and crashes that occurred when switching between different emus, as Mednafen 
doesn't support loading multiple games in a single session (one per launch). It 
also took some time to address the memory fragmentation that occurs when 
switching between games (especially the GBA 32mb ones) on the Wii. 

Very Thanks for Emu, this emu is awesome: geme gear, master system, gameboy and 
color, gameboy advance, pce engine (usb support yeah), pc engine cd (usb 
support yeah), PC-FX (cool), lynx, wondersman (cool), nes, virtual boy and 
neogeo pocket (very thanks for this emu, gc controller support + usb support 
cool+yeah)

Thanks a lot for the feedback! I really appreciate it.

Have added MD/Genesis support, will be in 0.1.

thanks a lot raz0 !!!! i'm crying now because so happy. with you wiimednafe 
release.
0.0 version is very stable. but  i have some hope. that is support Snes.
also there is snes emulator for wii 'snes9x gx' . but it is very unstable.

( sorry if im worng on that but it seens like that)
( sorry for my poor english)

great work guy thanks again

Hey raz0red!
Thank you very much indeed for your work. This is a really nice port, very 
stable and solid from the very first release. Impressive!

I don't suppose this would be easy or even possible but twinaphex has been 
working on porting PS3 SNES9x-Next to the Wii 
(https://github.com/twinaphex/snes9x-next). Is there anyway this could be 
ported/integrated into Mednafen's infrastructure? 

Keep up the great work and looking forward to 0.1.

i will write here sence i dont want to start another tread the thing is... 
change type save suport for gba games if its posible sence some games dont just 
for that.. i mean the option of VBA that change flash 64kl to flash 128kl if 
not damn and just play the game in PC -.-

sorry to put it here i hope that you dont banne my for this thanks a lot for 
all your work

Re: LionKaiser

This can already be accomplished, although it is a bit cumbersome. See the 
"GameBoy Advance" section in the Mednafen documentation:

WOW thank alot DUDE~ :D
