3DS:Sonic Decompilations

2025-05-30T08:45:58Z

SammyGoesHowdy: reorder tabbers by original version release order (1991,1992,1993,2017) because it looks nicer (and imo makes more sense)

This tutorial will take you through setting up the Sonic Decompilation 3DS ports.
{{critical|text=If you are on Old 3DS, then every game except Sonic CD will not work! and Special Stages will run poorly across all games on both Old & New 3DS.}}
{{critical|text=Due to these forks of the decompilations being heavily outdated, there are some things to note before starting:
* Data files from Sonic Origins will not work
* Script mods for RSDKv3/RSDKv4 cannot be installed due to the decompiled scripts using an updated syntax, which these versions do not support}}
=== Technical Details (optional) ===
These ports are based on the decompilations by the {{GitHub|RSDKModding}} group for the mobile versions of Sonic 1, Sonic CD, Sonic 2, and Sonic Mania.

They require a <code>data.rsdk</code> file from a legal copy of the game(s) to be able to run.

=== Technical Details (optional) ===
These ports are based on the decompilations by the {{GitHub|RSDKModding}} group for the mobile versions of Sonic 1, Sonic CD, Sonic 2, and Sonic Mania.

They require a <code>data.rsdk</code> file from a legal copy of the game(s) to be able to run.

3DS:Sonic Decompilations

2025-02-19T14:43:25Z

SammyGoesHowdy: Replace S1F & S2A tutorials with general mod install tutorials, add notes for Origins Datafiles and script mods

This tutorial will take you through setting up the Sonic Decompilation 3DS ports.
{{critical|text=If you are on Old 3DS, then every game except Sonic CD will not work! and Special Stages will run poorly across all games on both Old & New 3DS.}}
{{critical|text=Due to these forks of the decompilations being heavily outdated, there are some things to note before starting 1. Data files from Sonic Origins will not work 2. Script mods for RSDKv3/RSDKv4 cannot be installed due to the decompiled scripts using an updated syntax, which these versions do not support}}
=== Technical Details (optional) ===
These ports are based on the decompilations by the {{GitHub|RSDKModding}} group for the mobile versions of Sonic 1, Sonic CD, Sonic 2, and Sonic Mania.

They require a <code>data.rsdk</code> file from a legal copy of the game(s) to be able to run.

=== Extra Data only ===

This game does not use the proper save data archive, everything is stored in Extra Data (extdata). This means in save backup tools like Checkpoint, extdata must be exported and imported instead.

Wii:Emulators

2024-04-29T09:33:22Z

SammyGoesHowdy: oops

{{hatnote|This page refers to emulators and other software that can be used to run non-Wii software on a Wii. For emulating the Wii itself, see [https://dolphin-emu.org/ Dolphin Emulator].}}

An '''emulator''' is a piece of software that uses computing power to simulate another device, such as a video game console or a personal computer. As a general guideline, the Wii is capable of emulating most popular home consoles up to around the {{iw|wikipedia|fifth generation of video game consoles|fifth generation}} (the N64/PS1 era).

The Wii has hardware that allows for native backwards compatibility with the GameCube, meaning such software can run at full speed as they would on the original hardware. While this is not actually emulation, methods that use this hardware will be included here due to the ubiquity of the term.

== Handheld video game consoles ==
=== Nintendo DS ===
''Barely'' possible through [[osc:DeSmuMEWii|DeSmuME Wii]]. A partial compatibility list can be found [https://wiibrew.org/wiki/DeSmuME_Wii/Compatibility_List here]; most games are incompatible or run very slowly.
===Game Boy Advance/Game Boy Color/Game Boy===
Posssible through [[osc:mgba|mGBA]], this is the recommended option. Another option is [[osc:vbagx|Visual Boy Advance GX]]
===WonderSwan===
Possible through [[osc:wiimednafen|WiiMednafen]].

== Home video game consoles ==

=== 3DS/Wii U/Switch ===
Not possible. These consoles require too much computing power to be emulated by the Wii. 
Also note that due to these computing power requirements, ports of 3DS/Wii U/Switch games are also extremely unlikely.

=== GameCube ===
GameCube games can be played natively through [[Wii:Nintendont|Nintendont]], a tool that lets you play GameCube backups from an SD card or USB drive. All Wiis can play GameCube games, but the Wii Family Edition (RVL-101) & Wii Mini (RVL-201) cannot read GameCube discs, requiring you have a GameCube or an original Wii (RVL-001) to dump GameCube games.

=== PlayStation 1 ===
''Barely'' possible through [[osc:WiiStation|WiiStation]] or [[osc:WiiSX|WiiSX]]. compatibility lists for both [https://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/WiiStation_Compatibility_List WiiStation] and [https://wiibrew.org/wiki/WiiSX/Compatibility WiiSX] can be found.

=== Nintendo 64 ===
Possible through [[osc:not64|Not64]], this is the recommended option. Another option is [[osc:wii64|Wii64]]. Virtual console injects can also be created if you prefer individual channels on the Wii Menu

=== Super NES ===
Possible through [[osc:snes9xgx|Snes9x GX]]. Virtual console injects can also be created if you prefer individual channels on the Wii Menu

=== NES / Famicom Disk System ===
Possible through [[osc:fceugx|FCE Ultra GX]]. Virtual console injects can also be created if you prefer individual channels on the Wii Menu

=== Sega Genesis / CD / 32X / Master System / Game Gear / SG-1000 ===
Possible through [[osc:genplus-gx|Genesis Plus GX]]. Virtual console injects can also be created if you prefer individual channels on the Wii Menu

== Arcade cabinets ==
You can play most arcade games via the [[osc:sdlmame-wii|MAME-Wii]] emulator.

== Home computers ==

=== DOS / Win9x ===
Possible through [[osc:dosbox-wii|DOSBox Wii.]] Windows 3.1 and 95 technically ''work'', albeit slowly; this emulator is much more practical for older DOS games.

=== Commodore 64 ===
Possible through [[osc:frodo|Frodo]].

== Overview chart ==
WIP

== Emulators that don't exist ==

These are consoles or devices that will not work on the Wii, usually due to computing power requirements.

* PlayStation 2 and newer
* PlayStation Portable and Vita
* All Xbox consoles
* Dreamcast
* Windows NT (XP/Vista/7/etc)
