Loading / Running the Emulator

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.

If you haven't installed the Homebrew Channel yet, read about how to here: http://hbc.hackmii.com/

Gamecube

You can load FCEURX via sdload and an SD card in slot A, or by streaming it to your Gamecube, or by booting a bootable DVD with FCEURX on it. This document doesn't cover how to do any of that.

ROMS, Preferences, and Saves

By default, roms are loaded from "fceugx/roms/" and saves / preferences are stored in "fceugx/saves/".

Wii

On the Wii, 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 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 haveve setup on your computer via the Settings menu. You will need to enter in the SMB Share IP, Share Name, Share Username and Share Password.

Gamecube

You can load roms from DVD or SD card. If you create a bootable DVD of FCEURX you can put roms on the same DVD. You may save preferences and game data to SD or Memory Card.

Famicom Disk System (FDS)

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). You can switch disks using the A button (by default). The mapped button can be changed under Controller Configuration ('Special' button). Compatibility is limited, so check that the game in question works on FCEUX for Windows before asking for help.

3D Game Support

Supported Famicom 3D System games:

• Highway Star
• Famicom Grand Prix II
• 3D Hot Rally
• JJ (Tobidase Daisakusen Part 2)
• Cosmic Epsilon
• Attack Animal Gakuen

Supported anaglyph games:

• The 3-D Battles of World Runner (Tobidase Daisakusen)
• Rad Racer
