ROM Hack Wii on New 3DS?

[AleronIves]

some games from N64, Gamecube, Wii and Wii U have remastered or ported to 3DS

Remasters and ports are not emulation.

The emulation of the 3ds,the maximum reach is to psx and n64 emulation. Dont dream to play wii,gamecube,ps2,ps3,saturn and dreamcast because those systems are imposible to emulate for the limit hardware of the 3ds.

Man, if you want to play Wii games so bad maybe it'd be great to get a Wii. It is quite cheap nowadays and you can play many games in it from N64 to Gamecube. Dolphin on Android is not great, even SD 888 can't get full speed on many games. I could get one with a Wii Motion Plus controller for $50. I'm just focusing on GBA, NDS, and 3ds games right now maybe I'll get a Wii years later.

Yes, however, that thread didn't mention using a Luma firm/payload to do it, so I figured I'd ask, as I don't know much about homebrew/emulator making.

It is Not possible, common sense, how will you emulate a 729 mhz power PC CPU, 243 mhz GPU, 96MB of ram, io, etc, on a 268mhz arm11, and 134 mhz arm9, with min of 128 MB of ram, and a 133 mhz GPU

Any newer emulators would have to require a new 3ds, if it would even be possible


The 3ds is already in a sense a portable wii(u)

Don’t use the GitHub. Join their discord, there’s a more updated version there.

Is it going closed source?

At first, this thread looks silly. I thought op was trolling.

She or he is 13. populustree is a child, she or he does not understand.

Ik this has probably been asked before, but would it be possible to run Wii games on a New 3DS, either with a homescreen .cia or with a Luma firm that runs before most of the 3DS stuff?

The Wii is PowerPC, the 3DS is ARM, and not only that, it's an ancient version of ARM with much lower performance than modern smartphones, even at similar clock speeds. Those are two completely different architectures, which means you'd be dealing with emulation. And even the Switch struggles with Wii emulation, so how do you expect the 3DS to be able to?

 

[Deleted member 668561]

N64 and ps1 would be the most modern consoles it can emulate, even then a new3ds will pretty much be a future requirement

Well...Depends how you define the scope of emulation

No, it doesn't. Remasters and ports are objectively not emulation. They are native games. Porting a game means recompiling it for the target architecture. A remaster is just a port that has new assets that look better than the original game.

Emulation, in contrast, uses the original game binary and assets meant for a different architecture and translates the CPU and GPU instructions one by one into something the physical hardware can understand. This is an extremely CPU-intensive process that adds a huge amount of overhead, which is why emulation requires physical hardware an order of magnitude faster than the hardware you're emulating. Since different architectures have different IPC (instructions per cycle), comparing raw clock speeds is often an inaccurate measure of whether one system is fast enough to emulate another.

It's literally impossible

They* are 13, and I don't know too terribly much about emulation

does Universal-Updater download from Github?

thats not the word you want. it dont come close to whats done for electronic devices. And still AleronIves is correct about what emulation means in these contexts

Ik this has probably been asked before, but would it be possible to run Wii games on a New 3DS, either with a homescreen .cia or with a Luma firm that runs before most of the 3DS stuff?

That's with all the 3DS stuff running in the background, which is why I mentioned using a Luma firm that starts before some of the 3DS stuff. Would that make it theoretically possible?

It can, I can run most N64 games on it

You gotta be kidding. No. The same reason you can't emulate PS3 on a PS1.

To emulate is to emulate, one is just a native emulation of another
