This project, Wii88, is based on QUASI88 version 0.6.4, an emulator for the NEC PC-8801 created by Showzoh Fukunaga. Its main goal is to be compatible with the Nintendo Wii. Additionally, it references the QUASI88 Wii port version 0.6.3 beta6 by Rako.
How To Setup
To set up the Wii88 port, follow these steps:
- Copy the contents of the downloaded release (or the hbc repository folder) to your SD/SDHC card.
- Copy the system ROM files to the sd:/wii88/rom directory.
- Copy the game ROM files to the sd:/wii88/disk directory.
Note: The performance of the emulator is best with original NEC PC8801 ROMs, but you can also use the pseudo BIOS available on the website for the emulator.
Usage
When pointing the Wii Remote at the screen, you can use it to control the emulator options. You can use the Wii Remote as a mouse cursor. To open the menu, press the Wii Remote plus button (mapped to the F12 key). To exit the menu, press the Wii Remote minus button (mapped to the ESC key). To select a game image, go to the DISK tab, select the game disk file (.d88), and press OK. Finally, go to the RESET tab, select the appropriate BASIC MODE for your game, and press the RESET button.
In release 0.1.1, it is possible to change button mappings and/or create independent mappings for each game image. You can refer to the hbc/wii88/rc/default.rc and src/keyboard.h for guidance. For example, if there is a image file named Game.d88 in the disk directory and a mapping file named Game.d88.rc in the rc directory, the custom key mappings are loaded from Game.d88.rc. Otherwise, the mapping from default.rc file is used.
Build
To build the Wii port, please use the provided Makefile.wii. In the terminal, you may type make -f Makefile.wii. If everything proceed sucessfully, there will be a new wii.dol file. This file is also copied to hbc/apps/wii88/boot.dol.

Credits
In this Wii port I tried to modify the original code from QUASI88 as less as possible. The additional code and build files are almost always apart the original files. Therefore, the emulation process itself is cretited to Showzoh Fukunaga (the original QUASI88 author). Also, the included icon.png file was created by NeoRame.
