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
- USB-mouse (now, 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 the mouse left button. (Now, you can show the menu by pressing the wiimote A button, and can manipulate the menu.)
Select the FDD1->Open menu by mouse, and select a game.
Next, slect the Emulate->Reset menu.
If you read in Japanese, check the following site.

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 /np/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 .....)
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.)
4)When you show the menu by wiimote, press A button at the top of screen. The main menu cannot be disappeared... I don't know why... You can hide the menu by pressing USB-keyboard F11 key.
