| JustBeingReal said: Wii U uses a fairly standard AMD GPU, it's a safe bet The only issue is that RISC program language needs to be translated to CISC, which is pretty simple, AMD could probably include both RISC and CISC recognition into the chip's design if Nintendo wants. There's really nothing complicated about emulating Wii U. |
True Cisc really isn't a thing anymore. Modern x86 practically has risc-like structures underneath everything. All Cisc instructions are translated to Risc microinstructions.
The complications with emulating Wii U come from the GPU end of things, not CPU. Unlike the Wii/GC the Wii U actually has a modern graphics chip which requires a Loy more work to deal with. It has been the biggest obstacle for the current Wii U emulator on PC, as well as PS360 emulators.
