Oh, does it play all GCN games?

Most likely fake. I guess you can download the pirated game, but there is no way to play it yet. And if the Wii U gets emulated it had to be a different emulator, Dolphin can play GC and Wii games because the difference between both consoles is relatively small. The 360 hasn't been emulated yet so I imagine it will take a long time before we can emulate the Wii U.

1. oh, yes? so wiiu is emulating the wii instead of just using the main-cpu? interesting. any sources for that? But reading at Wikipedia shows: " The microarchitecture seems to be quite similar to its predecessors the Broadway and Gekko, i.e. PowerPC 750 based, but enhanced with larger and faster caches and multiprocessor support." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Espresso_(microprocessor) also, i said that it most probably uses the same isa, which i by now doubt you know what that means. read here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instruction_set_architecture If this would be true, a *lot* of work would already been done for wiiu-emulation. and would explain why wiiu can run wii-games: because the processor *is* similar. or did you find any wii-hardware in wiiu?

3. Ah, the old "i am in thisansthatforyears"-argument. me also, and now? emulating a system has nothing to with when a system came out. you need people who will have the will to do it and it has to be possible to do (documentation, e.g.). if you don't have docs, you need hackers to do researching which is what fail0verflow with wiiu is doing by now. the security-system of x360 is still not cracked, btw (no keys available). it is possible to play backups but it is *not* cracked.

4. i don't see any relation between upcoming emus for ps3, x360 and wiiu. if there ever will be for ps360.

5. why? or do you have a nondisclosure agreement with "the" people from the emu-scene?

6.  ??? i wrote i doubt there will be a ps3-emu. as i doubt there will be a x360-emu. again*sigh* you need documentation of the hardware and it has to be done by someone. yes, i know and you should also know of the small spu-emulator written by KD but emulating the whole system is just way off. because of performance and because of it's a pita to do that. especially if the processor and gpu are to be reverse-engineered.

7. *NOT* emulation! why would you need to emulate x86 on x86? right, no need. *just* api-call-wrapper. and of course it is not harder to emulate than the ps2 because you don't need emulation. sounds logic, doesn't it?

There have been dumps of 3ds games up since the launch of the console using modified NDS cart dumpers, saying that over a year later and there still isn't any means to emulate or flashcard these images of the games. It's a lot easier to rip the info from a mock blu ray disk than it is figuring out how to get a console or emulator to be able to handle the data in anyway so for the time being, don't waste your bandwidth thinking you'd have the Games ready for emulation / hacked wii-u that could be a year away or longer.

As for playing all wii games on the dolphin, it can play some games 100% but there are some that have tiny chances of crashing at certain points throughout and like people have said if you don't have a moderately good PC you're going to encounter more stability issues because when certain games get slow down in them it just causes Dolphin to crash and close. I wouldn't be using this as a replacement wii basically for playing "all" the games. It does make some games look properly sexy tho, I mean the main one being metroid prime 3 imo it is just really really nice to see a game like this being able to be cleaned up a great deal by the upped resolution and AA that dolphin allows.

quoting from there

-While unverified by Nintendo

-The microarchitecture seems to be quite similar to its predecessors

I would not base the beginnings of any argument on a wiki article with very little set in stone facts. "Seems to be" and "quite similar" are not things you can base your stance on, as well as that the second comment does not even have a citation as to where it came from, just some random person wrote it up on wiki because someone may have linked it to them as fact.

but how will it be possible to run wii-games then if the isa is different? because it most probably isn't which is of no surprise as it is still a ppc. yes, by now it is unconfirmed but time will tell us soon enough. and also, there are no "counterfacts" by now.

Are you suggesting that to run the Snes/N64 games the Wii therefore uses the same Architechure as the Super Nintendo? And just because there wasn't someone with the exact right specs on wikipedia, that doesn't mean that the first person to make the page there is right, as much as the cited pages of "exclusive world first teardown click here" definately do not look like they're trying to get hits in any way shape or form.

The Wii U CPU and Wii CPU are based on the same tech. Like every new generation intel pc cpus are based on the same tech. But the Wii U CPU is much more powerful, before you can emulate this on a pc with proper speed we will have christmas 2024.

That some people even think a proper Wii U or even a XBox360 emulation would be possible in a near future is hilarious. Even modern games like Assassins Creed 3 don't run exceptionally better on PC than on XBox360. And people really think a emulation would be possible? The Wii U even has much more power than the XBox360.

How can you run 10 years old games on a modern pc? because cpus are using the same architecture. But of course modern cpus are faster.

are you suggesting that nintendo emulates the wii with wiiu and achieves directly such good compatibility? and no, because snes and n64 did not use ppc, of course. and i don't say wikipedia is right, of course not necessarily. as i said, time will tell who is right.
