Yes. I mean... it's a port... it's for the Wii... so why not?
Honestly,I do not look very often to the Homebrew Browser.....
Thank you very much,the Port is great and it plays like on Windows.😉👌💖
(For Android for Example,for me,the Port (from Google Play Store) is awful and shitty....)

I've been playing it for a week now with a GameCube controller.

EDIT:

Friendly reminder that Space Cadet Pinball for the Wii doesn't like to get the apps folder renamed to anything other than SpaceCadetPinball.

I'm glad that this thread was bumped with new posts as I had missed out on Hexen 2. Got that working and it works *very* nice, so much kudos/thanks there. But in playing that it got me to thinking about the Quake version I have.

The version I have is "Quake Gx 0.05 by Eluan". I remember when I was trying to get Quake working on Wii ages ago that I had two versions. One of which would support background music but was very prone to crashing and Quake Gx 0.05 which was stable.

I tried installing the ones at https://github.com/niuus/Quake-Wii-GX/releases, but it's telling me it can't find PAK0.PAK in \ID1 even though it's there and I also put it in the launch directory in apps too. However, before I spend time trying to get this to work, I have to ask, is Quake Gx 0.05 the latest/best version? Don't want to try and install something I already have installed.

Also, bigger question, and the reason I'm posting, my only issue with the Quake app I have installed is that I can't get the fire button to map to the outer classic controller bumper button. It will only recognize the inner which works, but isn't perfect for playing. In fact the game won't acknowledge that the outer bumper buttons exist at all. Anyone have any success with that and can help me out?

Hmm, sounds like something that would need to be fixed on the source code.

Should we add sonic mania to the possible ones?
Added.

Wii / Wii U port someday? Hopefully!

While I didn't play it as much as Goldeneye at the time, this would be a serious addition to the ports arsenal, as the game was notoriously skipped on the Virtual Console.

Decompilation teams are to be congratulated for their awesome feats.

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
