Hi, I'm Jesus Villalba, I have a question, Is a PS3 emulator for Wii U possible?

according to me, the Wii U has 2 GB RAM, which is in the requirements to use the RPCS3 emulator and the Dolphin emulator.

also something to note is that it is 7 times more powerful than the PS3 to emulate it.

the Wii U has a high-end graphics card, how to run the emulation of Wii Desmume Wii emulator so fast in vWii mode.

I think I have the Wii U for Christmas, Santa Claus will give it to me this Christmas, I already wrote the letter to Santa, it only takes a few days for Christmas, I just need to pray to tell God that Santa has enough money to buy me the gift that I want :-)

Will a PS3 emulator for Wii U be possible, or will it be impossible?

I'm sorry for the delay, but my internet connection was failing :-(
 
No, the PS3 was a bit more powerful than the Wii U at many tasks. It'd take a lot to get a PS3 game even running on the console, let along playably
 
Definately Not! They are pretty much in the same league! Wii U has a newer and better GPU and additional RAM but that alone is nothing Leaps form what PS3 and 360 Generation can do it basically the console that Nintendo should have made instead of plain Wii but just think of all the cool games wii would miss out on ;) But atleast the Wii U has Unofficial GameCube support.
 
Pretty sure the CPU the PS3 had is far more powerful than what the Wii U had and thus, it would be impossible for the Wii U to handle it.
 
Short answer, No. Long answer: Impossible. The ps3 had a strange chipset that even pcs have trouble emulating it. It's difficult to fully explain, but how it functioned would be practially impossible for the wiiu to emulated it. Especially given how low it's specs is and how it's bottle capped by it's CPU. As the ps3 used a unorthodox chip type or method. Multiple different chips (if I recall correctly) running at various different speeds handling different parts of the console while also being integral to it.

To both console's credit, they both run on the PPC architecture, so the Wii U would technically struggle less than an equally-specced PC. That ultimately doesn't change much when the console is under-specced for the task, though

True it is the same architecture, and as you said, the wiiu is far too under powered to properly handle it.

The Wii U is not powerful enough to emulate ps3, it's only slightly more powerful than the wii the ps3 is far too complex to be emulated on anything except a decent pc. If you want to play ps3 games you'd better off getting your parents to buy you a used ps3 or ask for decent pc.
 
Laugh my ass off i bet u mean psp or ps1 they r not 100 percent fully work o wii U Sorry hahaha

I dunno if I'd call 3 times more powerful "slightly more powerful than the Wii"

Why bother emulating the PS3 when most good PS3 exclusives are available on the PS4 with improved performance?

Everyone says it's impossible, because I'll try to know if you can emulate the Xbox 360, which does not have a complex architecture like the PS3, is less powerful than the Wii U and has more third party games than the Wii U.

Can the Wii U emulate, the Xbox 360?

Is this possible to emulate on the Wii U?

Are you genuinely asking this?? Lol the wiiu can't even emulate the nintendo 64 properly with many N64 games not working.
 
Serious answer: YES, any Turing-complete machine (which all mentioned consoles are) can emulate any other Turing machine, given enough time and memory
