It'll either load or it'll take you to a menu screen letting you know the system crashed. This 'resets' the emulator to load the rom. This is where you hit the 'Reset' button which as the post pointed out above is R button on Gamecube or the + on Wiimote/Classic Controller. Then it will take you back to the menu rather than load the rom, which does seem weird. I usually pick the first one in the list to start.

Among the options there's usually two 5200 options. Now it will ask you what kind of cartridge it is. Pick your 5200 cartridge from the directory. From the Emulator menu go into 'Cartridge Management', then 'Insert Cartridge'. The emulator expects you to treat it as such but also doesn't really tell you that. I figured out how to get it to work most/all of the time. So I start searching the forum and find this thread which actually got me towards the solution, particularly the quoted post above, which is a solution but unfortunately only works some of the time. This particular emulator always irked me because I could never figure out how to get 5200 games to load in WiiXL. If you can help me I would be oh so greatful.Ĭlick to expand.Yeah, I know, I'm necromancing the thread. Since you can't assign buttons to the wiimote yet so with spelunker I can't do the spacebar blender thing that kills the ghost. Although I don't have a USB keyboard many of the games that started to work with the renaming (but many still don't) the wiimote works quite well except for spelunker. WTF? I will sometimes go into cartidge management & select remove cartidge but that only seems to help sometimes if it keeps loading Hero no matter what I select. Then I go back in & select moon patrol or goonies & then it will pull up Hero. If I go to run atari program & find the game Hero it say can't load & throws me back at the main emulator menu. com & many started working but in an odd way. I even made a rom folder & it didn't seem to matter. I have all of them in the software folder in the correct files carts, disks & cas folders. Bladeforce since you seem to know this emulator can you help me? I love this machine.
