Nobody answered my question yet. When games are ported to the VC are they ran using an emulator, or are they recoded for the wii? It's possible if it is recoded for the wii, but if not then it will run very badly. There won't be any chance at all that it will run on the wii now though since the low memory, and the solution has to allow for alot of gbs if you don't want to run out of space, because Dreamcast games go up to 1.5 gbs I believe.

 

Wii has built-in NES, SNES, and N64 emulators.  Whenever you download a game for a new system, you also dl the emulator for that system (like the Genesis).

I wouldn't be surprised if they could get some of the smaller DC games on Wii (Power Stone PLZ!), because, due to today's compression, 1gb at the time could be compressed to about 200 mb now.  However, that's still gonna take up a nice chunk'a Wii, especially when you include the DC emulator itself.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?
