Sorry to be that guy, but Wii doesn't really emulate GameCube 
Gameboy and GBA are amazing on the Wii, but it does have these slight "hiccup" effects where the games will speed up for about one tenth of a second avery few seconds, which you mostly notice in the sound. Tetris is very noticeable, and I'm not sure how to smooth out those hiccups from happening. Only happens to me using VBA GX. (Is mGBA ported to the Wii yet?)
Another poll? Another poll where selecting a single option doesn't suffice: There are many very good emulators on the Wii.
The Wii is my primary emulation machine for older Nintendo hardware. (S)NES is next to perfect. I've yet to find a problem worth of mentioning. The same positive things can be said about mGBA for Game Boy Advance titles. The already mentioned sound hiccups was the reason for not continuing usage of VBA GX.
The N64 emulators do not convince me, so I stay with the real N64 for now.
I find many appealing points on Wii: Fast boot time, ease of use, many very good emulators, 100% native GameCube support, very good protection against softbricking (BootMii@boot2). These reasons make me prefer the Wii over the Wii U (which I use exclusively for Wii U games; did not even bother with modding vWii).
If I'm able to concentrate a little more I will try to correctly set up Retroarch on the PlayStation Mini to see if it can be a good alternative.

Pound for pound I think Wii is a very good N64 emulator. I say pound for pound because N64 is notoriously hard to emulate, and Wii is rather underpowered as an emulation platform. It doesn't play every N64 game I want, but it's probably got 80% of what I want, fully playable. Wii N64 compatibility is also enhanced by Virtual Console - it's practically like having a high performance mode for an emulator. I use it for real time and multiplayer games where consistent framerate is at a premium.
And N64 is the only weakness of the Wii as a complete Nintendo library (through Wii). Not too shabby.

Sega Genesis because of the Wii's native 240p output. You would have to spend a lot of money on a converter box or original hardware to get comparable output on a CRT TV. Same goes for the other 240p consoles but I'm partial to the Genesis.
Also any system with lightgun games.

If you want a good system to port it to, at least have a good programmer and knowledge.+1 -

I didn't know they made an MSU cart for the Genesis.... I knew about the SNES one and the library for that is rather large but the Genesis one has very few games+1 -

Like not emulating the entire SNES but just a loader and the enhancement chips perhaps even slightly overclocked like FX-2

I finally modeled and 3d printed the new HDD cages I need in order to build my 2nd NAS. Original ones don't fit the mounting holes on the hdds I'm using. Been sitting on this project for over 2 years smfh -

I'm finally gonna get this NAS racked and powered on tonight, install truenas core, and burn the disks in with badblocks

Also another 70TB going in the front mount drive bays of this server. 182tb raw, going to probably use a zfs RAID-Z3 for 3 parity disks, so 140TB usable

@
Sicklyboy:
I could claw back 14tb by only doing 2 parity disks but I feel like with 13 disks in the RAID I'd be kind of pushing my luck on rebuild time if I encounter a disk failure
