Changelog
Snapshot 3
- Buttons 1, 2, A, B, Plus and Minus are now user defined. By default they are mapped to joystick fire. To define them go to menu Options/Joysticks/Joystick 1.../Button Mapping
- Added ability to save settings: To manually save settings go to menu Options/Save. You can also set auto-saving settings to on in menu Options/General. Settings are automatically loaded on startup. They are located in sd:/apps/fuse/.fuserc. This is an unofficial patch.
Snapshot 2
- Pretty much untouched port created by Björn, but rebuilt against the Fuse 0.10.0.2 (list of changes here)
- Changed the way menu is navigated, now it's navigated using Wii Remote in horizontal position, just like in emulation
- Fixed toggling the checkboxes in the options - press Right on Wii Remote to toggle the option
- This snapshot has been compiled with zlib, so the application now supports .tzx and .rzx
