I put together this grid for both review and for documentation here, as I feel it will help answer some common questions. Please if you see any corrections let me know.
Emulator | MAME Rom Set Ver. | MAME Relase Name | Emulator Loc | Games Played | Notes |
GXGeo | Unknown | N/A | Wii Brew | Neo Geo | Use FBA – Neo Geo instead more recent, more games, easier to use more stable |
FBA – NEO Geo | FBA v0.2.97.29 | ? | Retro Arch Project | Neo Geo | |
FBA - CPS1 | FBA v0.2.97.29 | ? | Retro Arch Project | Capcom System 1 | MAME Wii plays some of these also, but this is the best emulator to use for these games |
FBA - CPS2 | FBA v0.2.97.29 | ? | Retro Arch Project | Capcom System 2 | |
FBA - CP3 | FBA v0.2.97.29 | ? | Retro Arch Project | Capcom System 3 | Most of these are too big for the Wii system memory, but there is a method on GBATemp to get the Wii to play these. |
Final Burn Alpha 2012 | FBA v0.2.97.28 | ? | Retro Arch Project | Various | Usually the best emulator if available |
MAME Wii 1.0 | MAME v0.134u3 | MAME 2009 | Wii Brew | Hand Picked List | 2nd Best Emulator and at times better than FBA |
MAME 2000 | MAME 0.37b5 | MAME 2000 | Retro Arch Project | various | More compaibility than any of the others, but worse emulation |
SDL MAME 0.125 | MAME v0.125 | MAME 2008 | Wii Brew | various | Super slow, MAME Wii 1.0 replaced this one and works faster and better, but with less compatibility |
MAME 2003+ Core A | MAME v0.78 | MAME 2003 | GBATemp (Retroarch cores) | NAMCO-Nintendo-Irem | Note: The 2003 cores are made to work in Retroarch 1.7.8 while the current version or RA as of this writing is 1.10.3 mixing cores does not work well so you may have to choose one or the other |
