Not to be confused with Neko Project II Wii.

Introduction

This emulator is a port to Wii of NP2 (Neko Project II), NEC PC-9801 emulator, programmed by Yui. The policy of this port is the minumum change. You must not ask Yui about this wii version.

NP2 site (only in Japanese): http://www.retropc.net/yui/np2.html

Requirements

USB-keyboard (Now, you can execute some games without USB-Keyboard)
USB-mouse (optional)

How to set up

1) Copy the contens in the SD_root to your SD or SDHC card.

2) Copy game roms files (ex., .d88, .hdi, [no .D88]) to np2 directory.

How to use

The on-off of the main menu is toggled by pressing wiimote plus button when pointing monitor.

Select the FDD1->Open menu, and select a game.

Next, slect the Emulate->Reset menu.

If you read in Japanese, check the following site. http://www.retropc.net/yui/np2help.html

Controls

Vertical wiimote (when pointing monitor)

	Action
	Menu on/off
	Select menu item
	Quit

Vertical wiimote

	Keyboard key
	Arrows
	Space
	Return
	Escape
	X
	Z
	(Quit)

When you quit this emulator, you can resume by checking resume mode by the Configure menu.

Known issues

1)When running for the first time, this emulator will automatically convert the true-type font (default.ttf), sazanami free font, to font.tmp. This conversion makes you wait for several minutes. But, once it has completed the conversion, this emulator does not make you wait. If you want to use another font, delete /np2/font.tmp and /np2/default.ttf, and copy your favorite true-type font to /np2 directory as 'default.ttf'.

2)The game roms can be selected only in /np2/.(Because of libfat .....,and my poor programming ability ;-)

3)The bottom of screen is black (640x80). (Bacause SDL library support the popular size (640x480) perfectly, but NEC traditional size (640x400) maybe be not well supported.)
