Installation and Use

On the Wii / Wii U’s Virtual Wii, to use Snes9x RX you will need to copy over the “apps” and “snes9xgx” folders (directories) from the .zip to your SD Card. It comes pre-packaged in the Homebrew Channel format (which you will use to launch the emulator). Once you’ve copied the directories to your SD Card you will need to place your ROM image(s) into “9xgx” directory. Optionally, you can place cheat code files and artwork/covers in their respectively named folders inside the “9xgx" directory. If they are not present, the folders will be created at second run, in case you want to acquire the files later. Once you are done, you can proceed to run the emulator. Additionally, you can install the Snes9x RX Forwarder Channel in your Wii or vWii System Menu (it points to”9xRX”), or the special Snes9x RX Channel for Wii U, which fully installs to your console and reads the configuration and necessary files from your device “9xgx” folder, be it SD or USB.

In the case of the Wii U Channel version, it has the added benefit of taking advantage of the extra CPU power available, on the condition that you run the Wii U homebrew app “sign_c2w_patcher” first, to unlock the so-called “Wii U Overclocked Mode”, which simply makes the console avoid the CPU underclock (729 MHz) to run Wii software at the native Wii U’s speed (1.24 GHz), so it is completely safe to use.

By using the Wii U channel, you only need the folder “snes9xgx”, which also comes pre-packaged in the respective .zip archive. To install, you need to use WUP Installer GX2 or the WUP Installer Y Mod, through the Wii U’s Homebrew Launcher.

It is important to note, when you use the Wii U’s overclocked mode, you are limited to use the SD as the storage medium for all your files. No workarounds, as this is a current console limitation.

Initial Setup

The first time you run Snes9x RX it will create a new “settingsRX.xml” file on the SD/USB Card which stores the configuration of the emulator. So when you run Snes9x RX, it will automatically detect your storage medium and bring you to the ROM selection screen. If you want to run a game with the default settings, then just highlight the game and press ‘A’ on it and it will load. However, you can configure Snes9x RX to your liking.

Configuration

To configure Snes9x RX, press ‘A’ on the “Settings” box. This will bring up the “Settings” screen where you can configure the “Saving & Loading”, “Menu”, and “Network”. You can also restore the settings to their initial values by clicking on the “Reset Settings”, or you can just return to the ROM selection screen by clicking on “Go Back”.

Game Settings

Button Mappings

Inside the “Button Mappings” settings menu, you can configure the button mappings for SNES peripherals like the SNES Controller, Mouse, Super Scope,

and the Konami’s Justifier. You’ll have the option to remap almost all the controllers already supported by the emulator (except the Retrode 2 USB, Xbox 360 controller, Hornet Gamepad, or the DualShock 3).

Once you select a controller to configure, you will be presented with a complete list of the SNES Gamepad buttons you can remap. To set any buttons,

simply pick and click. Snes9x RX will prompt you to press the new physical button you want to assign to the virtual button you’ve selected. Below is a list of each controller, followed by the input devices and the default values for those devices.

Button Mappings / Other Mappings

This sub-menu offers you two options:

"Turbo Mode" allows you to turn ON (Default) or OFF the Turbo Mode feature.

"Turbo Mode Button" allows you to remap the feature to any other button, by cycling through the available labeled options represented on the supported physical controllers.

Cheats

Cheats are loaded from the "\snes9xgx\cheats" directory and must be in the SNES9X .CHT file format. They also must be named the same name as the game you're playing with the .cht extension.

An example would be if you have a ROM called "Super Mario World.smc" you would need to name your .cht file to "Super Mario World.cht". You can find a link to a massive collection of Super Nintendo cheat codes in the Links section below.

Before loading Snes9x RX, connect your Xbox 360 wired controller. When you're at the main screen (Choose a game), click on the emulator logo at the corner of the screen and read the status info at the bottom, just to make sure it was properly detected. In some cases you won't need to do this, it will just work. Remember, the controller only works when in-game. You can swap your player/port number by simply pressing on the Xbox Guide button. Enjoy!

Right stick is configured as YXBA (essentially duplicating your buttons), specially useful for Smash TV fans like me =D

• Xbox 360 wired controller code improvements. [revvv]

4.4.0 - November 07, 2019

• Retrode 2 USB adapter support (thank revvv!)

The Retrode 2 cartridge reader offers USB mass storage access for your SNES cartridges, besides 4 ports for original controllers, more specifically: two SuperNES and two Genesis gamepads. 2 players are supported!

Some notes from revvv: "- If the Retrode does not react, you just have to restart Snes9x GX. I never had to restart HBC or the Wii. This happens with my fork, too. But not very often. - Doom is a good testcase: My first build had a huge lag, but only with this game. After polling the Retrode only for player 1, the lag disappeared. (Doom is a single player game, so it's strange that they poll player 2.)"

4.0.0 - July 28, 2019

• Add Wii U GamePad support. [Fix94 - Tantric]
• Allow "Original" render mode to be selectable when using the Wii Options

TV Resolution setting for "EDTV or HDTV (480p)" over component cables: - This caters specifically to LCD / LED users with 240p supported displays, since the option was previously hidden. Users with CRT / PVM / BVM displays with supported 480p Progressive Scan mode will also benefit, since no Wii setting change will be needed for the "Original" 240p mode to be used.

• Changed: SMB options no longer displayed in menus when run on a Wii
• Changed: Game auto resumes running after resetting when choosing the "Reset Game" menu option
• Fixed (maybe): Reading of DVDs past the 1.36 GB barrier (Wii only) please test! - svpe

2.0.1b7

• Fixed: Zip compressed freezes to memory card could become corrupted as the file size changed - fixed this by deleting the existing file before writing a new one if the file size increased. If the file got smaller or stayed the same the original file is updated, using less of the existing file if the actual file size is smaller. A check is made before deleting the existing freeze file to ensure that there is enough space available for the new file. Note that additional space equivalent to the new file size must be available. If not enough space is available the original freeze is retained and the user is informed of the lack of space.
• Fixed: If option to auto-load freeze was selected, joypad config would not be restored since that is stored in SRAM. Resolved this for now by first loading SRAM if any and then loading the freeze. Obviously having to have both SRAM and freeze is not ideal, but this gets the job done if you have enough space on your memory card, SD card, etc.
• Added prompt when returning to the menu with autosave enabled allowing the user choose whether or not to perform the save. Press A to save or B if you don't wish to save.
• Added optional verification of Gamecube memory card saves. After writing the file it reads it back in and verifies that the written file matches what was to be saved. If it doesn't or if there was a problem opening the file it reports the problem to the user. Set this option in the preferences if desired.
• Added Reset Gamecube/Wii menu item
• Experimental DVD support for reading beyond 1.36 GB barrier on Wii. I have no way to test this, so please report on whether or not it works! Based on svpe's code.

NOTE: due to changes in the settings, this version will reset your emulator options settings, so if you had saved preferences you will need to make your changes to the emulator settings again and save them.

• Fixed: Going up a directory when selecting a rom on a DVD wasn't working
