Why wouldn't the Wii be able to emulate ANY Dreamcast games?

Chatroom.. this is a message board.. there is a MAJOR difference.....

 

Still you were completely wrong and you flipped out.

To emulate anyways you need hardware that is 10 to 20 times stronger then the system you are trying to emulate. Considering the Dreamcast is stronger then the GameCube there is no way in hell the console can run the game. The main reason why the Wii can even play GC games without emulation is that the processor and GPU are similar to what was in the GC just at a higher clock.

I disagree the gamecube was a close second last gen in terms of console power. Also the number of times a console has to be to emulate software matters on how well the emulator was made, and how closely related the architectures of both consoles are. I would say 10-20 times is the average though.
