GxGeo

Free plan

What GxGeo is

GxGeo is a free emulator for Neo-Geo AES and MVS games, ported from the open-source GnGeo emulator. It is listed for Wii, vWii mode on Wii U, and Wii Mini, and its license is GPLv2. The project is described as an early version with some bugs. ROMs larger than 25 MB will not work because of memory limitations, though some can be modified to work. Installation instructions say to extract the ZIP to an SD card and place zipped ROMs and BIOS files in /sd/gxgeo/roms. The listed required BIOS files include 000-lo.lo and sfix.sfx; the instructions also describe country and system BIOS files, with uni-bios.rom usable in place of a country or system file. Play is supported with a GameCube controller or Wii Remote. A GameCube controller in port 1 takes priority for player 1, leaving the Wiimote to control player 2. Downloads are linked through Google Code, Homebrew Browser, and Open Shop Channel, which lists version 20101119, released November 19, 2010.
