My question is: how do Wii games work on the Wii U framerate-wise?

I do not mean to assume that constant 30 fps games would suddenly be 60 fps.

What I mean is games which have a variable fps of 3 - 30 depending on how much is happening on the screen. To be honest actually only this game came to mind: Zangeki no Reginleiv.

Has anyone tried a fps-heavy Wii Game on his Wii U and noticed any differences? Or is it exactly the same?

Oh damn if its underclocking its system, I guess it would make sense to be the same. What a shame. I guess I need to wait a few more years for a good enough PC to be affordable with dolphin running the game at 60fps to enjoy it fully.

Thanks for the fast reply!

Core i3 + HD7770 should be more than enough for 60 fps at 720 to 1080p.

trumpet I guess you dont know which game Im talking about... I have a Core i7 and a GTX 480... other games work 60fps at 1080p

I dare you to even play that game at constant 30fps on 480p with your mentioned specs!

You are talking about Dolphin (GC/WIi emulator) right? Which game do you have in mind?

Sounds like the game is optimized terribly bad, and there may not exist a PC which can run it fullspeed yet, as even games that run fine on the Wii require a beefy CPU. Getting something that drops to 3 fps to run at 60 would require an order of magnitude more powerful specs.

what is wrong with people nowdays. it was one thing bitching about graphics before but now are even bitching about framerate? sorry if i sound a little bit mad but i cant be the only one that doesn't care about the game running 30 or 60 fps

No one was bitching about a framerate, but thank you for bringing it up.

like I said in my first post, the game is called: Zangeki no Reginleiv. Only released in Japan (by Sandlot, other game they make being Earth Defense Force). You can look it up on youtube. While it looks weird on first sight, the fun while playing it is really intense.

Well I dunno if the game is optimized that terribly bad (probably to some extent) but there just happens too much on screen (and off screen) for the Wii to handle. And yea I guess its true, who knows maybe really the best CPU out there on the market could handle it, I doubt the rest can.

learn to read. Im not bitching about 30 fps. Im bitching about 3 fps. Yes 3 FPS! Wow what a pink world Im living in when I want more than 3 fps.


Actually to be honest the game doesnt really drop the fps that much as it slows down extremely, however if it didnt slow down it would really be the equivalent of 3fps.

Slowdowns that exist on real hardware you can probably not do too much about. For example SNES games that have slowdowns on real hardware have the same slowdowns on emulators (the 2nd level (bubbles) of Gradius III being an example), though it might be a different case for newer consoles.

I c. Thats a shame.

I just watched youtube video of someone playing it on dolphin. It really worked 5 fps at 40% speed for a few seconds...

    So my opinion is that they could age a bit better in the future, and maybe AMD will continue improving them via drivers like they tend to do. No guarantee there but they have done it in the past. Just a feeling I have.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb
    +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding
    +1
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
