Conversion to mono also shrinks the memory requirements of the PAK and can make an unplayable PAK playable. If you play a game PAK on OpenBOR Wii and you hear a lot of static instead of sound effects, it's likely the sound effect is in stereo and needs to be converted. Wii OpenBOR does not support stereo audio files. What makes Goldwave especially useful is that it can batch convert audio files in subdirectories. Goldwave is an audio tool that can shrink and convert audio files for Wii compatibility. The programs you need to do this are part of the OpenBOR package and the batch files to do this are called "Paxplode.bat" to unpack a PAK file into a DATA directory, and "Packer.bat" to compress the DATA directory into a PAK. There are ways to get incompatible games to run though, and it comes down to unpacking an OpenBOR PAK, tweaking the innards to make them smaller, then recompiling it. This is not a surprise because the Wii in general has lots of issues with memory and arcade emulation. The Wii has memory issues with some, and especially newer, OpenBOR games.
I've been fiddling with OpenBOR tweaking games to get them to work on the Wii, and have some tips to share when it comes to the Wii version. Wii Mundo has some dedicated links which have Wii specific optimized games, which I definitely recommend checking out, but the Wii is not confined to just those games. For those unaware, OpenBOR is a public domain side-scrolling fighting engine with a TON of user created content. It's odd that when you search this sub for OpenBOR threads that it's pretty empty.
