The Emulatemii Team have released a new version of the PSX emulator for the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo Gamecube, heres the release details:

* To install: Extract the contents of wiiSX-beta2.zip to the root of your SD card
* For SD/USB: Put ISOs (.bin/.cue or other formats) in the directory named /wiisx/isos,
All save types will automatically be placed in /wiisx/saves
* For DVD: ISOs may be anywhere on the disc (requires DVDxV2 on Wii)
* For actual BIOS: Put SCPH1001.BIN in the directory on SD/USB named /wiisx/bios

Once loaded, select 'Load ISO' and choose the source and select the ISO to load
(Note: to go up a directory select '..', B will exit the file browser)

The game can be exited any time by pressing a configurable key combination together
on a GC pad (START & X), Classic Controller (ZL & ZR), Wiimote (- & +),
Wiimote+Nunchuck (1 & 2), or the reset button
