A NES emulator for the Wii based on the PC emulator FCE Ultra v0.98.12.

  • iNES, FDS, VS, UNIF, and NSF ROM support
  • 1-4 Player Support
  • Custom controller configurations
  • SD, USB, DVD, SMB, GC Memory Card, Zip, and 7z support
  • NES Compatibility Based on v0.98.12
  • Sound Filters
  • Graphics Filters (GX Chipset, Cheesy and 2x)
  • NES Zapper support

Introduction

FCE Ultra GX is a modified port of the FCE Ultra 0.98.12 Nintendo Entertainment system for x86 (Windows/Linux) PC's. With it you can play NES games on your Wii/GameCube. Version 2 is a complete rewrite based on code from SNES9x GX.

Installation

  • If you are using the Homebrew Channel just copy the apps directory from the archive to the root of your SD card.
  • ROMs & saves files should be stored in fceugx/roms and fceugx/saves on the root of you SD card, USB flash drive, or SMB share. You can copy the fceugx directory from the archive to your support drive.
  • Launch the emulator using your Loader.

Loading Games

From DVD or Windows Network Share (SMB)

  • ROMs can be burned to a DVD-/+R (4.7GB max size & ISO 9660 file format) but you need to install the DVDx on your Wii. More infos on HackMii.
  • To load roms from a Windows network share (SMB) you will have to edit FCEUGX.xml on your SD card with your network settings, or edit fceuconfig.cpp from the source code and compile.

Network support

Using SMB support currently requires that you provide a username and password to log in to the file server (in FCEUGX.xml.) This username must contain a workgroup name or else logins will not be possible. You can use a bogus workgroup, but some functions may perform better if the workgroups match between client and server. Here's an example snippet for your XML configuration file: 

<section name="Network" description="Network Settings">
   <setting name="smbip" value="192.168.4.19" description="Share Computer IP" />
   <setting name="smbshare" value="wiifiles" description="Share Name" />
   <setting name="smbuser" value="WORKGROUP\wii" description="Share Username" />
   <setting name="smbpwd" value="yourPassword" description="Share Password" />
</section>

FDS Games

To be able to load FDS games, FCE UlraGX need the FDS BIOS. Put it in your roms folder, and name it disksys.rom (should be 8 KB in size).

You can switch disks using the A button (by default). The mapped button can be changed under Controller Configuration ('Special' button).

Compatibility is limited, so check that the game in question works on FCE Ultra 0.98.12 for Windows before asking for help.

GameCube Controller Loads files from the Front SD slot

Took Vicious1988's version, gutted the menu, and tweaked all around. Now load from any directory on SD file. SRAM saves are automatic. Take screenshots to PNG format. Works with GameCube pads and Wiimotes. Long file names for ROMs are not supported natively.

New version with nicer menu, classic controller + nunchuk, use IR as zapper, new scaler (but not as nice as GX...), sort of half-way complete:

DK Bongos

Mike Tyson's Jungle Beat is a NES-emulator that enables you to play Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! using the the Gamecube DK Bongos.

Controls

Each bongo has a top and a bottom button. These naturally correspond to high and low punch. To dodge, clap. To use your star punch (or to "Press Start"), hit both top buttons. To block, hold the start button on the bongos.

Files

Download mtjb.zip to get started! mtjb.diff is the patch from the SVN trunk as of today (June 27, 2008). The hack is pretty straightforward, so it's not very large. InjectorSrc.zip is the source code for the injector program, in case someone wanted to compile a Mac version or something.
