This is a Space Invaders TAITO original (1978) emulator.

Inspired on Midway Space Invaders emulator (2008) only allowed for GameCube Controller.

This version is playable with wiimote and nunchuk. High score is stored and could be erased at the beginning during 10 seconds by holding down button B.

Screenshot is avalable and files are store in PNG files in app folder.

Sounds are included in the sofware.


The game requires the original Space Invaders roms to be placed on the SD card or a USB storage device in /apps/invaders/roms.

They're not included with the emulator due to copyright concerns.

The files required are invaders.e, invaders.f, invaders.g, invaders.h.
