This is a wii-linux distribution that includes the emulator SDLMAME 0.125 compiled for PowerPC. This emulator is the result of the efforts of the MAME team MAME.

The source code that was used for this distro was taken from the SDLMame project, kept updated by Olivier Galibert and R. Belmont, and with the colaborationcon of Sven Gothel, couriersud and Vas Crabb.

The original code can be found here. Also, this distribution uses the wii-linux kernel POC 0.4, that can be found on its original page.

Installation

Specifications:

Kernel 2.6.24 (wii-linux POC 0.4).
52MB of MEM2 for swap.
100 MB of swap on the SDCard.

Instructions:

Copy the files "boot.elf" and "mamefs-fs" to the root directory of your SD card.
Copy the directory "mame" and its contents to the root directory of your SD card.
Create a directory called "mameroms" on the root of your SD card.
Disable WC24 . Emu wont boot with WC on (issues with wiilinux).

How to run:

Insert the SD card in the front SD adapter of your Wii.
On your Wii, execute the file "boot.elf" using your favourite method for loading applications (Twilight hack or homebrew channel).
