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 minimum 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 contend in the SD_root of 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, select 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 /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.)
