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.

    I went to auction at a mom/pops video game store few months ago that was closing, and bought 11 slims for $200, 1 was DOA but 10 work fine. so hella deal. Already rgh3'ed 8 of them. But most younger kids don't even want anymore, unless it plays stupid "fortnight", or newer shit.

    Think I'm gonna use my giftcard balance on a nice pair of headphones but $100 is still limited
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Soundcore q30s are nice but they leak so much sound it sounds like speakers
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:

    Ah, yes, portrait mode, surely the best way to film a row of people. If only there were some way to fit a wider shot, at the expense of height... if only...
