Homebrewed my Wii this week. The only part that is giving me headaches is the controller inputs for Mame Wii. I'm able to launch the app and the games but once I get into the game I can't do anything. I've figured out how to change the general inputs but as soon as I back out it erases them so that doesn't really do anything. The only solutions I seem to be able to find are 10+ years old and involve downloading files that no longer exist.

Just wondering if anyone has figured out a permanent solution. I am trying to use a Wii Classic controller btw. Maybe there is a different emulator that would work better? I tried RetroArch and got it installed but was having trouble figuring out how to configurate the roms for that. Any advice would be appreciated.

MAME on RetroArch Wii isnt most compatible.
(MAME 2000, MAME 2003, MAME 2003 Plus...)
I suppose OP has newer Wiimotes, which doesnt work on original releases of MAME Wii.
I would recommend to try my mods of SDL MAME Wii 0.6.0 and MAME Wii 1.0, which they both have newer Wiimote support, 10000 rom file limit, and WiiFlow compatibility.

    truth be told, i agree with psi, i dislike both candidates, but i'd probably vote trump simply because the economy was better during his presidency
  • AngryCinnabon @ AngryCinnabon:
    Just be careful, if trump ends up winning and using project 2025 America might really change...for the worse.
  • AngryCinnabon @ AngryCinnabon:
    I'm not american and even that sends shivers down my spine.
  • AngryCinnabon @ AngryCinnabon:
    anything that offers trump an opportunity to become an actual dictator
    is bad in my book, i could care less if it wasn't for that...
