Mono Audio issue on Wii port

[isotomayor12]

Hello!

I have been using my wii on my standard CRT TV that only has mono audio input. The wii settings match that configuration as well.

I figured I would try out GB, GBC, and GBA emulation today. mGBA is widely revered as the best on wii so I went with that. What I found is that with the gameboy games I tested, the audio was still splitting through both audio channels instead of one.

I did try the mgba core in retroarch-wii and the audio worked through there, but wow, the wii port for that is not something I want to keep.

I could buy a y splitter, but my right audio cable is significantly quieter due to damage so that won't work unless I also buy new cables for my wii. Money.

I was curious if there was a setting I was missing or if it is not something that is common so it isn't included as an option to adjust in the wii port. Any help would be fantastic and appreciated.

Thank you!

There's an open bug report about this, but there isn't a current solution.

It doesn’t look like a setting you’re missing- the Wii mGBA port just doesn’t properly force mono output for GB audio in some cases.
That’s why RetroArch behaves differently
Unfortunately it’s more of a limitation/bug than something you can toggle
