This has an awesome gui and setup. Would love to be able to move roms to usb drive though. Tried in the mame ini. The mame 1.0 this worked but not in yours. Just thought it would be an awesome feature. Thanks so much.

If I could figure out how to compile would give a shot at changing it in game_list.h. Always get errors. Dont know what im doing. Never compile wii stuff before.(fatal error expat.h)

Added expat.h and other libraries to different folders where I was getting errors expat not found. Got further in the process but could never get complete compile even the original unedited code. Always expat stuff. Trying under win10. Did clean dev kit pro install, then your special library install, then tried to compile. Dont know how to install expat library but files were in one of your folders somewhere.

You need to install ppc-libexpat using pacman command: pacman -Sy ppc-libexpat

nebiun commented 4 months ago

Or all ported libraries with: pacman -Sy ppc-portlibs

About USB support: MAME4Wii load new dol to run a specific group of games. This operation disable the USB. At the moment I have not found a way to reenable it. Sorry.

Thanks so much. Just trying to learn some of this. Never done any wii development before but used to do a little coding. Maybe can learn. If you can't get usb working then probably a no go for me, but if I come up with anything will let you know.
