    Default Req. help: Running Wii64 emulator, but roms freezing on start

    Hi,

    I'm wondering if anyone can help with an issue I'm having running an N64 emulator and roms on Wii.

    I'm running Wii64 Beta 1.1 "Honey" on my Wii. The emulator starts up fine and I'm able to select roms to play. The roms load and boot up, but freeze on the game intro screens. They are roms that I've downloaded from this site (Blitz 2001, Banjo Kazooie, etc.). I have the emulator, and roms, on my SD card.

    - I tried running the roms on an external hard drive instead but I had the same issue.
    - I tried the "Not64" emulator as well, but am having the same issue.

    I'm running NES and SNES emulators and roms fine on my Wii. N64 seems to be the only issue.


    Please let me know, along with any questions.


    Thanks very much.

    Make sure the roms are extracted

    Asides from CPU core choices this emulator has very little options but I would start with defaults before changing them including video options

    Outside emulator settings you may be running into badly installed/hacked ios's that can be fixed via modmii used both for modding a Wii and updating a Wii's ios's (Wii driver files) and hacked files ect ect...

    It may just be incompatibility also though N64 emulation is hit and miss the best of time, let alone on a Wii

    Thanks Zorlon. Roms are extracted. It is weird because they load and start, but just freeze. I can re-do the modmii and see if that helps. A couple of the N64 roms work but some weird stuff happening (ex. Mario Golf - the fairway turns black).
