This isn't specifically a Wii U question, but I was wondering if there were any forks of Wii64 or if anyone was able to get HID controllers working with this emulator similar to nintendont?

Reason being, there's no way to use the emulator's gamecube controller support since there's no cube ports on the Wii U, limiting inputs. It would be really nice to play n64 games with the nintendo gamecube adapter or n64 to USB adapters. I know there are controller -> wiimote adapters but I would prefer a non-wireless solution that also doesn't require multiple wiimotes.

other then the problems with remote. there isnt anything that really runs full speed on wii64?? kinda pointless for someone to put in so much effort for something that doesnt work well in the first place :/

Blast Corps, apart from some very minor graphical glitches,Star Fox, Goldeneye(Some slow down), and Diddy Kong Racing. There may be more but those the ones I remember trying out and finding playable.

You should download the update that came out yesterday for better compatibility.

I think HID will never happen. It IS possible, but hackers don't even care. Only homebrew i saw with HID was Nintendon't, which works REALLY well, and since i use a Familly Wii, it's the only way for me to play the games correctly... I really wish that the Wii hacking community gave a sh*t about this. It just gets on my nerves. If i understood anything about hacking, i would try something, but i don't know anything. Only language i know is C#.

Same I know nothing about hacking but I wouldn’t mind learning. I just want to hookup my usb N64 controller to my wii and use wii64. I just want to play the older games more authentically.

    I remember when the Atari 2600 was new and exciting lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It could get banned from PSN but you can change your ID I think?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also gonna install twilight menu in my r4 flashcard
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    One thing that just occurred to me.... The sound on the 2600 sucked less back then the harsh sound we hear now is from infinitely better speakers we have now, back when the 2600 was new speakers produced a almost muffled sound, like CRTs made old graphics look slightly better.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I wonder if I could recommend that to some emulation devs that perhaps the sound could use some smoothing out to simulate those old TVs
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think a few of the early systems could benefit from that, at least up to the 8 bit generation, by the 16 bit generation I think TVs had gotten a lot better in almost every way

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Try Wood firmware
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    For your R4
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    It's old but it's the best firmware out for DS stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    it says it only works for the original R4, R4i Gold (r4ids.cn), R4iDSN (r4idsn.com) and Acekard R.P.G.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    nvm it does support mine
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:

    Just give it a try, but honestly if you have a 3DS you can play DS games without a card just off the internal SD card
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Slightly slower loading but a bit more convenient
