I rarely ever request anything from anyone, other than help sometimes regarding info and clarifications regarding numerous topics. And I even do so less when I know I haven't contributed, and will probably never will be able to cooperate. But I figured it was still pretty much worth a shot.
I'm pretty satisfied with SNES9x GX. I used SNES9x for 5 years for all my gaming needs, until I discovered ZSNES and it's netplay properties some time ago. There used to be a community designed to take advantage of this feature, called Classic Gaming Arena, where people would host games and meet other people to play with... good times. Good times indeed.
Back to topic... SNES9x never really did come close to the same quality netplay ZSNES had natively. Although SNES9k, a derived work that would use Kaillera to connect to dedicated servers, is considered by many one of the best ways to netplay SNES games, I would beg to differ. After many countless days playing with friends online, I would easily choose ZSNES for the job.
What I'd like to ask is if there is someone out there capable AND willing to port over at least versions 1.36 and/or 1.42 over to the Wii. The source can be easily found on their official website, and they've ported it over to Linux as far as their knowledge allowed them to (not that it might be relevant to this case, but still thought it was worth mentioning).
If not, would it be too much to ask the developers for ZSNES for their netplay code to be added specifically and only to the GX series of SNES9x? I would ask them myself if needed.
Or at least integrate Kaillera...
I do hope someone like Tantric would take this into consideration. If not, well... at least I hope someone else takes interest in this. I know most people (myself included) would say "do it yourself", but it just so happens I'm not proficient in any coding language.
I can't say I understand the ordeals many of the esteemed devs that constantly contribute to wiibrew with their apps go through, but I try. I know their all human, and have their own lives.
Well... there. That's what I wanted to ask. Thanks for your attention.
