This I would love to see.

Go get a PC to do it now. It will probably be able to emulate the WII U in like 3 years ? That way you can have the ultimate platform compared to a company that likely won't compete for next generation.


funny you should say that. the PS4/Xbox One will most likely be easier to emulate due to the simple fact that there is nothing stopping the hackers, no Cell/PowerPC arch, no foreign arch, they're PCs with Sony/MS taped on them.

Except none of you guys here know about emulation. The WII U's cpu is almost exactly the same as the WII's but only this time it has 3 cores instead of one and a bumped up clock while featuring a slightly more modern istruction set architecture. As for its GPU it has an insanely low bandwidth while also coming from the old crappy VLIW5 architecure. The only issue I see here is the EDRAM.

As for the PS4 and xbone I don't think any PC's could hope to emulate either of them let alone PS4 because DDR3 has a low bandwidth. Even though xbone features DDR3 it has a bigger bus width giving it the ability to have more bandwidth than what PC's feature everyday on DDR3.  

So when all is said and done the WII U is by far the easiest to emulate disregarding the lack of documentation ofcourse.


if you wanted to emulate a WiiU, you'd need to write some serious code for the PowerPC architecture and all that shit. you barely have anything  to do for a PS4/XboxOne emulator. it's always been: easier to program for = easier to emulate. we still don't have PS360 emulators and you're talking about the WiiU?

anyways, that last bit in your first post just proved that you are pretty much biased against Nintendo, i've seen you act like that on all the threads i've seen you one pretty much, that automatically makes you close-minded.
