The most famous hobbit’s namesake is actually a Commodore 64 emulator originally done by Christian Bauer and ported to the Wii by Simon Kagstrom. Working best in 480i mode, Frodo runs perfectly fin as well in 576i  mode, albeit not in full resolution.

Simon says that it is an SDL issue, and won’t be fixed at least until SDL-Port supports it. For now, sound support is also slightly buggy, but not to worry, it is fully usable. Also, the emulation itself is not picture perfect, so not all games will be able to run.

Here are the changelogs for the most recent versions:

v3

• Fixed the buggy classic controller and allow binding all buttons on it
• More speed improvements. The emulation speed is now selectable
• A few bug fixes and code improvements

v2

• Emulation speed has improved a bit
• Keybindings have been improved and extended (commodore key, del etc) and now behave more like the real keyboard
• Added support for the classic controller. Note: this is untested since I don’t have a classic controller. Please test and fix bugs in this part!
• Add support for loading .prg, .p00 and .s00 files. Only .prg has been tested so the others might not work.
• Various glitches and small bugs (long filenames, sound in menus, frequent prefs saves etc) have been fixed
