A WIP NES emulator for Wii U consoles running under firmware 5.5.0/5.5.1, based off LiteNES.
It uses code from libwiiu and the 5.5.x ELF loader.
Note: No longer active.
User guide
How to use:
- Install devKitPPC and set the DEVKITPPC environment variable to the devKitPPC path (excluding the bin folder).
- Run make to generate boot.elf in the project's root directory.
- Ensure an iNES ROM named play.nes is in the same directory as the ELF.
- The ELF loader should recognize boot.elf on a 5.5.x Wii U.
Example setup:
- Loader:
http://webhost/u/payload/my_payload_file.php - ELF:
http://webhost/u/payload/boot.elf - NES ROM:
http://webhost/u/payload/play.nes
Notes:
- This is not a Virtual Console replacement.
- Primarily for developers.
- Lacks sound.
- Supports only one player.
- May crash upon exit.
- Performance is notably slow; refer to the TODO for potential improvements.
- Limited ROM compatibility; only tested with Yie-Ar Kung Fu (working) and Super Mario Bros.
- Encounters RAM corruption issues affecting Super Mario gameplay.
