This project is a fork from QUASI88 version 0.6.4, a NEC PC-8801 emulator by Showzoh Fukunaga.

The main goal is to be compatible with the Nintendo Wii. Additionally, it references the QUASI88 Wii port version 0.6.3 beta6 by Rako.

Installation

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.

Custom key mappings may be placed in sd:/wii88/rc directory.

In the quasi88.rc file is stored the emulator configurations.

Note: The performance of the emulator is best with original NEC PC8801 ROMs, but you can also use the pseudo BIOS for the emulator.

User guide

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 select a game image, open the menu and 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.

Button mapping

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.

Controls

Wiimote:

Plus - Open menu (F12)

Minus - Close menu (Esc)

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.
