>What's the best Arcade emulator to use on Wii

You're already using it. There aren't any better options.

Seriously? I had like 20 games on my SD card, and only 2 of them were playable? What a bummer :/

But I don't really know if it is a problem with the emulator or rather with the roms, cause of arcade games there are so many variations of the same roms, like

>Cadillacs and Dinosaurs (bootleg with PIC16c57, set 1)
>Cadillacs and Dinosaurs (bootleg with PIC16c57, set 2)
>Cadillacs and Dinosaurs (USA 930201)
>Cadillacs and Dinosaurs (World 930201)

I mean wtf do I download?

Try these

You still should 1cc both Strider and Osman tho.

With mame you generally need roms that match the revision of mame you're running

>>2627094
I usually just download them all since its much less than a mb honestly.

>>2627064
Somebody needs to port Final Burn Alpha to Wii. MAME is just awful.

>>2627094
dude the parent rom should be obvious, why are you kids so dense

HURR I WONDER WHICH IS THE ORIGINAL HOW DO I INTO BASIC LOGIC TEST

The have the cores included with Retroarch. Also, SDL MAME for some things actually run better then in Mamewii

Even the games I could get working on Wii play horribly. I think Arcade emulators on Wii are just terrible.

Whatever emulators they use in those Wii arcade compilations run fine, but they are all 480i eyesores unfortunately.

Download the parent file (the shortest name). Like vulcan, vulcana, vulcanb. Download vulcan. If it doesn't work, download it from a different site until you find one that works.

Here we go again...

Final Burn Alpha is shit, fuck off.

>>2627464
Some of us would rather play 99.999 percent accurate games than nothing at all. MAME was so shit they had to cave in an open source it to stave off the mass exodus. Their developers are shitlords of the highest order.

>99.999
Try 09.999 for anything non-Capcom/SNK.

>>2627464

Jeez, did one of the developers fuck your wife or something?

Final Burn Alpha on Retroarch is the best way of playing arcade shit on Wii, case closed. Is it a great method? Fuck no, most games skip frames and have visual glitches, I'd much rather use a computer or an X-box but hey, it's better than the Wii MAMEs which were ported in like 2008 and crash literally every 5 seconds.

How good is a fatbox as an emulation machine anyway? I'm getting sick of using my Wii but the resolution the thing outputs is just right.

>>2628263

Really good for most anything 2D, it's MAME port is much better than any other MAME port you'll find due to it being from before the team became a bunch of locked source shitlords. It struggles with 3D systems to about the same level as the Wii though. I mainly use mine for beat 'em ups, shmups and driving games and it works great.

The biggest advantage the Wii has over it is its good selection of controllers,the Fatbox is limited to the fat-ass original one or the better revised one, but neither are ideal for 2D platformers for instance, with its D-pad being less than stellar. So basically, good to have around but can't realistically do everything.

True, but then there's no good dpad for wii either other than the classic pro controller. No wii controls are ideal for me. Wii remote has too small dpad and wrong shape and so does gamecube controller. Wii is a great emu box, but I didn't realise how much the controls would suck.

Both the Wii and Xbox has adapters that let you use a PS2 controller so that's really a non-issue.
