[Wii/WiiU] Snes9xRX v5.0.0 released – News and updates posted on LS

Niuus unveils v5.0.0 of its Snes9xRX emulator, as you know Snes9xRX is based on Snes9x version 1.52, so it fits perfectly on Wii and Wii U. This 5.0.0 update comes almost 2 years after the previous version.

As a result, the changes are very numerous, many corrections and necessary optimizations.

Changelog v5.0.0:

main should be called Exit, and exit the emu instead of returning to the main menu.
