Using Google I found some of these in a website called Zophar’s Domain (don’t expect anything great). As usual, Google is the tool of choice – there are actually some public domain / freeware ROMs available. It is useful to have some ROM to test it on. Someone on the forums here might be able to give you some specific help or know the answer to your questions. If you are having trouble with anything, usually it�s a good place to try and get help.

This is my first Wii homebrew, and I'm still a bit of a noob. What's frustrating is that everyone else seems to be installing it and having no trouble, yet I must be doing something wrong. I've watched video tutorials from various YouTubers as well.
I have tried my "saves" folder in the root of the SD card, I've tried it in apps/snes9xgx/saves, I've tried it in snes9xgx/saves.įollowing wiibrew's tutorial, I still cannot make it work. My SD and my flashdrive aren't bootlegs btw. It would just restart the game from the title screen. Error opening directory, no SRAM data to save, and when I DID get it to "save", the save wouldn't actually work. With all the different ways I've tried, I've gotten multiple errors. they're fat32, and my other emulator Nintendont works okay. I've tried all the files on my SD, all the files on my flashdrive, split between the two, different flashdrives. I would like to mention that I tried retroarch but I didn't like it (some things weren't working the way I wanted there either but that's another story.), I prefer snes9xgx if I could just get saves working. I've been having a hard time getting super Nintendo games to work properly.
