WiiStation, formerly known as WiiSXRX_2022, is an emulator for the Sony PlayStation 1 (PS1/PSX/PSone) designed for the Nintendo Wii/Wii U. It was created by forking the original WiiSXRX emulator by NiuuS, which was originally a port of PCSX-Reloaded, but with many changes from PCSX-ReARMed.

The WiiStation emulator has been improved in several ways, including incorporating the CDROM and CDRISO codes from PCSX-ReARMed, which has greatly improved compatibility. CDDA (Compact Disc Digital Audio) tracks and multi-tracks are now supported. The timer codes from PCSX-ReARMed have also been incorporated, and the DFSound module from PCSX-ReARMed has been combined with the SDL library, resulting in improved sound quality.

The dynamic compilation instructions have been modified to allow games like Final Fantasy 9 and Biohazard 3 (Resident Evil 3) to run. The emulator also supports multiple languages and has a specific font. For certain Chinese culture games, the specific BIOS is automatically loaded. There are also minor corrections such as disc changing (swap) and automatic fixes for some games.

Note: A font file is read from a fixed location, so make sure that [sd:/wiisxrx/fonts/chs.dat] exists.

Goals

• Improve the GTE (Geometry Transformation Engine) code for faster 3D game performance. Despite using paired single instruction, the speed is still not optimal.
• Use GL graphics display mode for better image quality and performance. The developer has limited knowledge of OpenGL and is uncertain if grrlib can be used.
• Support for DualShock 3, DualShock 4, and DualShock 5 controllers.
• Ability to select other BIOS with basic buttons.
• Implement 240p support.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
