Today I will show you how to install and use Genesis Plus GX emulator for the Wii! This program will allow you to play any Sega

To install and set up Genesis Plus GX to play Sega games on your Wii for free, follow these steps:

  1. Ensure that your Wii console is homebrew enabled. If it isn’t, you’ll need to install the Homebrew Channel first. You can find instructions on how to install it online.
  2. Download the Genesis Plus GX emulator for the Wii. You can find it on various homebrew websites or forums. Make sure to download the version that is compatible with your Wii console.
  3. Extract the downloaded files to your computer. You should have a folder named something like “Genesis Plus GX.”
  4. Format your SD card or USB storage device to FAT32 or NTFS format. Ensure that it is empty and has enough space to store your Sega game ROMs.
  5. Connect the formatted SD card or USB storage device to your computer and create a new folder called “ROMs” (without quotes) at the root directory of the storage device.
  6. Obtain Sega game ROMs from legal sources. These ROM files contain the games you want to play. Ensure that you have the necessary legal rights to possess and use these ROMs.
  7. Copy the Sega game ROMs to the “ROMs” folder on your SD card or USB storage device.
  8. Safely eject the storage device from your computer and insert it into your Wii console.
  9. Launch the Homebrew Channel on your Wii console.
  10. You should see the Genesis Plus GX emulator listed among the available homebrew applications. Select it and press the “Load” button.
  11. The emulator will load, and you’ll see a file browser. Navigate to the “ROMs” folder and select the Sega game you want to play.
  12. The game should start, and you can use your Wii remote or a compatible controller to play.

Hey that was a good video but your next video should be how to unformat from the Wii U style of USBS to the original style without deleting any data if that's too hard just do how to add Homebrew apps to the Wii U menu

Nice vid thanks. I am a bit confused though as to how many USB sticks I am going to need lol. Sorry I'm new to this. I am planning on having a USB stick for GameCube and Wii roms that I can launch in the virtual Wii, and I'll need another for Wii U ROMs and all my Gameboy, SNES Sega ect ROMs to boot on the Wii U UI?
