Seta GX is an experimental Sega Saturn emulator for the Wii. The original Yabause Wii port was heavily modified and simplified. A couple of improvements (namely CHD support and SCU emulation) come from devmiyax's Yaba Sanshiro. The main speed improvement comes from hardware accelerated rendering by using some tricks of the Hollywood GPU.

DISCLAIMER: This project is experimental and in no way close to good in terms of code quality and stability (this is to be expected), so you may find a lot of bugs/crashes/softlocks.
- CUE or CHD file support.
- WiiMote, Classic and GameCube controller support.
- SD and/or USB storage (FAT32).
- Can save games.
Download and extract the latest release. Copy the apps/SetaGX folder into the apps folder located on the root of your USB/SD card. From the root of your USB/SD card, games must be stored in a vgames/Saturn directory, saves will be located in a saves/Saturn directory, be sure to create these beforehand (Note: the paths are case sensitive).
BIOS NOT INCLUDED: In order to start the emulator, you need to provide your own BIOS. Place a Saturn BIOS file inside the
apps/SetaGX/folder with the namebios.bin.
Remapping is planned, but the following is the standard mapping:
| Sega Saturn | GameCube | WiiMote | Classic |
|---|---|---|---|
| D-pad | D-pad | D-pad | D-pad |
| A | B | A | Y |
| B | A | 1 | B |
| C | X | 2 | A |
| X | Cstick-UP | - | X |
| Y | Y | B | ZL |
| Z | Z | ZR | |
| R | R | R | |
| L | L | L | |
| Start | Start | + | + |
To return to the menu press Start + Z on GameCube Controller and Home on Wii controllers, this will close the game so save before doing this. In the menu you can select a game and press A/2 to start it (if you start a game while holding R a FPS counter will show), pressing B/1 will return to the Homebrew Channel.
