You are right, I did get one thing wrong, you can't download the ROM / ISO, you have to play it directly or dump it yourself.

You can't even do that in some countries, since it constitutes copyright infringement - making copies of intellectual property without permission.

Isn't that OK as long as you don't sell it on?

I've heard that if you own a genuine copy then you are allowed to own illegal copies too.

Anyway, as long at it isn't cartridge based, you can play the game directly.

I need to change my P4.

Nice. I don't like the graphics of wii games, this is good for me. Now I don't even need a wii to play Xenoblade. Haha.

The question is why can't Nintendo give us something this cool next gen on WiiU? You don't need a crazy GPU or CPU to run this...


The question still stands.

Even if the WiiU CPU is underpowered I guess it would be easily capable of playing any Wii game at 1080p 60fps.

I don´t know if someone already posted this link, but there are some very nice screenshots in the thread.

i wouldn't be surprised if the emulator was able to run wiiu-isos in about 2 years - fail0verflow is already at the wiiu and the specs from wiiu seem quite similar to gc/wii.

Somehow i expect the 360 to be emulated before the Wiiu or the PS3.

And i dont expect a working emu for any of them 3 consoles in the next 2 years.

4+ Years id say it will take us to start seeing them consoles being emulated in a state that games can be run.


the 360? well, there isn't even an emulator (a good working one...) for the first xbox so i highly doubt this will ever exist. ps3 is even far more out of reach - the security-system is down but it will be quite impossible to emulate the spe's - most probably no one will ever do the work.

the wiiu seems to be very close to its predecessors so why not? perhaps the isa is different but i think they added not very much new opcodes. the gpu could be problematic but we will see how hackers will open this, too. the thing is: a whole lot of work is already done.

but still: even if it's possible no one knows at what speed it would run...
