GxGeo is a free emulator that runs Neo-Geo AES and MVS games on Wii-family platforms.
What GxGeo is
GxGeo is a free emulator that runs Neo-Geo AES and MVS games on Wii-family platforms. It is a port of the open-source GnGeo emulator, and its license is listed as 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 ROMs can be modified to run. Installation involves extracting the ZIP to an SD card and placing zipped ROMs and BIOS files in /sd/gxgeo/roms. The instructions name 000-lo.lo and sfix.sfx as required BIOS files and describe country and system BIOS files; uni-bios.rom can replace a country or system file. Players can use a GameCube controller or Wii Remote. A GameCube controller in port 1 takes priority for player 1, leaving the Wiimote to control player 2. Listed platforms are Wii, vWii mode on Wii U, and Wii Mini. Downloads are linked through Google Code, Homebrew Browser, and Open Shop Channel; the latter lists version 20101119.
