Title: RetroZone's Wii RetroPort Question
Post by: ericj on October 21, 2010, 07:40:38 pm
Does anyone know if the Wii SNES & NES RetroPorts work in the HBC with emulators?

Bump!

Has anyone tried this?

I'm thinking of getting the gamecube port version since I'm not 100% on whether the USB type will work in the Homebrew Channel.

The USB NES RetroPort does not work with any Wii emulators. I've already tried it.  I don't think many emulators on the Wii support USB controls in the first place, do they?

I was thinking more of the ports with the gamecube connectors they have since all the emulators work with the GC controllers.I figured the USB ports wouldn't work.

These:

I decided to buy a couple of the GameCube NES & SNES RetroPorts. I'll follow-up with whether they work on the Wii in the HBC or not.

EDIT: Just wanted to follow-up on this. I got the NES & SNES RetroPorts (for the GameCube connectors) in the mail today and they work perfectly with emulators on the Wii.

That's awesome, I may have to pick up a NES gc port then.

Anything out of the gamecube port works with homebrew if the homebrew supports gamecube controllers.

I can use a PS2 controller with an adapter I have on my Wii for gamecube games, Wii games that support it, and homebrew without an issue on my Wii.
