Maybe xbox 360 games? Isnt the wii u on a powerpc architecture, like the xbox 360? If so, xbox 360 games would be possible. I wonder if this would make ps3 possible too. These would be very difficult to implement.
It's not like the architecture has to match and nothing else.Maybe xbox 360 games? Isnt the wii u on a powerpc architecture, like the xbox 360? If so, xbox 360 games would be possible. I wonder if this would make ps3 possible too. These would be very difficult to implement.

The Wii U can't run XBOX360 games natively and emulation always require a way higher amount of power to be achieved.
There is a video mode changer, but idk if it can change color range.If possible, I would like homebrew that allows one to switch between limited range and full range RGB over HDMI. I really want any form of response to this.
I would be honestly surprised if this did not exist already. Maybe we should get a vlc port or something going.What about a media player built for the Wii U capable of playing HD videos? I used to use Plex to watch videos on my Wii U, but plex no longer works in the Wii U browser, granted I still can watch Netflix, but I have a large selection of digital videos that I'd love to play on my Wii U, and while I'm aware the vWii has media players, these obviously aren't in HD despite the fact that the Wii U itself is capable of HD output.
In fact it really doesn't what was a shame always. Don't know if the RetroArch port has the ffmpeg core running on the Wii U (never tested it) but apart from that there's only Linux for Wii U or WiiMC in Wii mode (obviously not supporting HD playback).I would be honestly surprised if this did not exist already.

Don't know from where you've got that insights and didn't know the Wii U is still being developed for but if that's true, it would be pretty cool news!Afaik they said it actually WORKS (The FFMPEG on WiiU) though you have to use software-emulation mode only and that means you only get to play MPEG2-files. Such as DVD or S-Video (old format) or MPEG 1(stone old format).
The cpu has to do the task alone which is hefty, since normally a GPU does 99% of the DVD-playback or MPEG4/H.264-decoding.And since you don`t even have GPU-accelleration and you can´t even use the Gamepad´s integrated H.264 accelleration for this FFMPEG....eh. Not really suitable right now.
You have to be patient since they are working on getting the right driver for WiiU`s GPU working. Will take it´s time though (6-12months i guess).
Complex software-development takes time guys.
But i don`t know if you heard it yet or not: WiiU`s Homebrew is rolling. 2 projects have just been announced. One is the NIntendon`t BBA finally working on Gamecubes, Wii & WiiU (made compatible to work on WiiU too) which means about FIVE Gamecube-games (with a certain patch) can be played ONLINE now. And another project is that big PS1-Emulation project "Beetle PSX" running right now. Which will be finished after christmas.
Some guy here claimed a few months ago though that he got the H.264-accelleration for video/movies working.
The driver is there after all. You can directly use that.The problem was that: Its limited to VERY few sound-formats only (only uncompressed sound, not from H.264 typically compressed, so files from Bluerays etc would be useless unless you want to transcode them!) and well:
It doesn´t run that well. It´s limited to certain low bandwidth and max. 720p resolution.
And that´s it. You can find this H.264 accelleration project on the WiiU`s "plugin"-site. Google it, and install that plugin, that might then be able to play some movies.
But it´s very complicated. Clearly not made for easy-use now lol. You have to load one file at once (limited) for now, at least that´s what i heard and like i said: no compressed H.264 audio. No high bandwidth H.264-movie.I dunno the exact bandwidth-limit but i guess it´s something like 20-30 mbits.
if you reach that it will begin to stutter and/or crash.
People wanted to make other projects out of it...but they gave up early.
why would you need a dolhpin port?Gba/DS Emulator? Maybe even a dolphin port?
^ Speaking of that.... Is there a way to remap classic controller games to the Wii U Pro controller?
Like some sort of plugin or patch?
Do you know if 2 player with Wii U Pro controllers would work?Any Wii game that could play with the Wii classic controller can be injected into a Wii VC game to launch from the Wii U menu and be played with a Wii U classic controller or the Wii U gamepad. Most of such injects are already made and available to download and install on that iso site.
