I didn't say they weren't legal, I said Nintendo would likely cause problems.. it being on a competitors system and all.
Nintendo can't.

Flash carts cost money and need a proper payment and shipping system, those are things Nintendo can fuck with.

They can't control the internet, especially since no physical device is being made/distributed.

This is just a viral publicity stunt, sort of like the DS on PSP emulator.

Anyone who knows anything about the hardware of both machines already knows that full speed emulation will be almost impossible. Plus Move and Wii mote tech is not as similar as most people think.

Anyway, good for Sony. Playing the piracy angle again. It really worked out well for them when they did this during the PSP era, and they got lots of dev support for it... oh wait, not they didn't

On a related note, isn't it sad that the best the PS3 can hope for is to emulate the Wii? I really think that's especially funny when certain people in this topic hate the Wii and frequently praise the PS3. lmao, how the worm turns.

This is why multiconsole gamers are superior. (Also dolphin on the PC rocks)

It is funny to see people going "Yesss!!! Now I can play GC/Wii games on my PS3!!!".....

Am I aloud to laugh at them or should I feel sorry for them?

Just a heads up for the less technically astute people out there. You will never see decent Wii emulation on the PS3, between the RAM limitations and access to the GPU and no driver for the PS3's GPU and the list just goes on and on from there and that list is pretty extensive.

I honestly doubt there will ever be a PS2 software emulator for the PS3 let alone a Wii.

Although it would rock to play my Wii games on my PS3

Neither of those things are true.

If you've seen any of the benches for the PS3's cell processor, if Dolphin were sufficiently optimized it could easily create the emulation environment. As for Wiimotes, the easiest solution would be to write BT drivers for it instead of some convoluted hack involving the Move.

none yet, although i wouldn't be suprised if it was held back due the lvl1 layer on the ps3 not being cracked yet, same thing that has apparently held back the port of WiiPS3 64

And so, the Wii becomes completely worthless.
It would be completely worthless for me if Rock Band 3 works on the PS3 WITH the dongles, DLC, and online functionality.
Sounds hard to do to me, but who knows? I hope it is easy work.
