==Loading / Running the Emulator==
By default, roms are loaded from fceugx/roms/ and saves or preferences are stored in fceugx/saves/.
===Wii - Via Homebrew Channel===
The most popular method of running homebrew on the Wii is through the Homebrew
Channel. If you already have the channel installed, just copy over the apps
folder included in the archive into the root of your SD card.


Remember to also create the fceurx directory structure required. See above.
You can load roms from SD card (Front SD or SD Gecko), USB, DVD, or SMB share. Note that if you are using the Homebrew Channel, to load from USB, DVD, or SMB you will first have to load FCEURX from SD, and then set your load method preference.


If you haven't installed the Homebrew Channel yet, read about how to here:
If you are planning to use your Network (LAN) to load and/or save games from you will need to enter in the SMB share settings you have setup on your
http://hbc.hackmii.com/
computer via the Settings menu. You will need to enter in the SMB Share IP, Share Name, Share Username and Share Password.


===Gamecube===
==User guide==
You can load FCEURX via sdload and an SD card in slot A, or by streaming
=== Famicom Disk System (FDS)===
it to your Gamecube, or by booting a bootable DVD with FCEURX on it.  
FCE Ultra RX supports loading FDS games. The FDS BIOS is required - put it in your fceugx folder, and name it disksys.rom (should be 8 KB in size).
This document doesn't cover how to do any of that.


==ROMS, Preferences, and Saves==
You can switch disks using the A button (by default). The mapped button can be changed under Controller Configuration ("Special" button).
By default, roms are loaded from "fceugx/roms/" and saves / preferences are stored in "fceugx/saves/".


===Wii===
Compatibility is limited, so check that the game in question works on FCEUX for Windows before asking for help.
