PS1/2 Emulator WiiStation - Another Fork of WiiSXRX released

[alzen]

I assume it is very hard to make wiistation compatible with RetroAchievements? Just asking as I have totally no idea but if it would be possible it would be a blast.

Latest change on main branch is importing GTE code implemented from PCSX-ReARMed again, but needs some more testing.

Latest change on ForSpeed_NewGte branch is same as above about merging GTE changes from PCSX-ReARMed but here try to gains more speed at emulated PS1 games by modifying a bit the GTE code.

In my tests, "main build" Works Very well.
"New gte" have graphics problems (Spiderman 2 and crash team racing unplayeable)

These are the best forwarders i found for Wii and vWii. https://gbatemp.net/threads/runningsnakes-forwarder-channels.601656/

hey all,

i just tired the wii u forwarder, but get stuck at a black screen, then system reboots to wii u home menu. i have the vwii channel installed, and wiistation on my sdcard. any ideas? Thanks.

update: vwill channel doesn't work as well, only launching from homebrew. something wrong with the vwii channel and wii u forwarder for wiistation 1.0?

did you run first sign_c2w_patcher ( https://github.com/FIX94/sign_c2w_patcher/releases ) from the Homebrew Launcher (Wii U) before launching the Wii U forwarder?

the forwarder looks for a specific path depending on what forwarder you have

if you have the folder named diferently it wont work search to see what is the path for your forwarder, i have no idea which one you have, also all forwarders must be wiiu nand and not hdd.

thanks for the reply, yes i did, i ran it before installing the wii u forwarder, and again after the install, but still black screen. if i just go to vwii and try the forwarder in vwii mode, it restarts back to wii menu. only launchingfrom vwii homebrew gets me to wiistation. i am also using your latest main git from above (renamed to boot.dol in the apps/WiiStation_Ver1.0). any ideas? Thanks.

i have one that was linked in this thread, but would you happen to have a link to the forwarder you know works for wiistation?

i use the old wiisxr forwarder lol still works perfectly(https://www.mediafire.com/file/9qjf0c7b9c4y6yi/wiisxr_vwii_overclock_and_gamepad.rar/file) all you have to do is call the folder sd:apps/wiisxr/boot.dol
instead of sd:apps/wiisxrx/boot.dol which is probably your folder structure.




if you have the forwarder in this thread im guessing you need to rename your apps of wiisxrx to wiistation but i have no idea who made it or if he said the path

 

[grandosegood]

hey all, it turned out that renaming my app folder to "wiistation" (minus the quotes). was the fix. i tried Tekken 3, a fairly demanding game, and with the overclocked forwarder, it was pretty close to running normal.

question though, is there no way to access usb storage from wii u forwarding? by my understanding, the overclocked forwarders were vwii mode app patched to point directly to certain vwii homebrew. shouldn't that mean usb storage should still be available?

nope all vwii inject forwarders cant acess usb storage because nintendo redirected all usb acess to wiiu formated hdd/nand so all injects can only read wiiu hdd/nand and not external usb fat32
