WiiSXRX is a fork of WiiSXR (a port of WiiSX), a PSX emulator for the Gamecube, Wii, and Wii U. It is designed to allow gamers to play their favorite PlayStation games on their Nintendo console.

This codebase is based on Mystro256's WiiSXR, a continuation of daxtsu's libwupc mod of WiiSX, which is in turn based off of Matguitarist's "USB mod5". It builds upon the original codebase to add new features and improvements for an enhanced gaming experience.

Note: Please do not report issues with specific games, as they may or not be fixed with updates to the code later in the future.

FS/DS builds

There are separate builds, one is WiiSXRX-FS and the other one is WiiSXRX-DS. Each one uses a different sound plugin.

WiiSXRX-FS is more recommended for use on the Wii, since it is lighter on resources. It can give you a speed boost that may vary between 5-15 FPS, depending on the game. Some games may even sound better on this build, compared to -DS. However, the sound plugin within this build does NOT read Red Book audio (CDDA).

WiiSXRX-DS is more recommended for use on the Wii U's "overclocked mode". Being more accurate, means it is heavier on the use of the console's resources, which in turn means less FPS on limited systems like the Gamecube and Wii, hence the recommendation. Some games do sound better or without audio glitches on this build, or even require it to work fully, compared to -FS. The sound plugin within this build DOES include full support for Red Book audio (CDDA).

How to install

To install, extract the contents of WiiSXRX.zip to the root of your SD card.

• For SD/USB - Put ISOs (.bin/.cue or other formats) in the directory named /wiisxrx/isos/.
  • All Memory Cards will automatically be placed in /wiisxrx/saves/.
  • All Savestates will automatically be placed in /wiisxrx/savestates/.
• For DVD - ISOs may be anywhere on the disc (requires DVDxV2 on Wii).

Put the BIOS file SCPH1001.BIN in the directory on SD/USB named /wiisxrx/bios/.

ISOs can be .bin/.cue (Make sure .cue contains _relative_ directory!), .img, or .iso format.

Loading a game:

• Load the executable from the HBC or in the loader of your choice.
• Once loaded, select "Load ISO" and choose the source and select the ISO to load.
• (Note: to go up a directory select "..", B will exit the file browser).
• Select "Play Game" to play.

The game can be exited any time by pressing a configurable key combination together:

• GameCube pad - Start+X.
• Wiimote - Minus+Plus,
• Wiimote & Nunchuck - 1+2.
• Wii Classic Controller/Pro - Home button.
• Wii U Pro Controller - Home button.
• Wii U Gamepad - Home button.
• Wii - Reset button.

(Note: this must be done to save your game; it will not be done automatically.)

Controllers

• While the GameCube pad is compatible, a Wii Classic Controller, Wii Classic Controller Pro, or Wii U Pro Controller is recommended.
• The Wii U Gamepad is also compatible, but only when doing Wii U injections (no, you can't use it on vWii).
• Controls are now fully configurable so any button on your controller can be mapped.
• The controller configuration screen presents each PSX button and allows you to toggle through sources.
• There are 4 configuration slots for each type of controller:
  • To load a different, previously saved configuration, select the slot, and click "Load".
  • After configuring the controls as desired, select the slot, and click "Save".
  • After saving different configurations to the slots, be sure to save your configs in the input tab of the settings frame.
• Clicking "Next Pad" will cycle through the PSX controllers assigned.
• There is an option to invert the Y axis of the PSX's analog sticks; by default this is "Normal Y".
• The "Menu Combo" configuration allows you to select a button combination to return to the menu.
