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.


Wii U has a Multi-Core (3) CPU.   Sports a High Definition GPU, not a VLIW5 architecure.  I wouldn't begin to ask what that is you made up.  It does sport lots of EDRAM in a customize chip.  Capital was used for R&D to make the Wii U a specially designed console.  Developers will to have to use the Wii U hardware a special type of way to make games.  The Wii U console punches above it's weight.  

Valve Steambox could very well outpower the PS4.  The thought that some other hardware can be the powerhouse other then the PS4 got your panties in a bunch. And you know nothing about emulation, I can tell.

@Bold Somebody here has being skipping classes in computer architecture. 

And what would a layman like you know about computer architecture ? (You haven't even touched the innards of a PC yet so if anything you want to make yourself more credible.)
