Hacking Anything is Possible

Because clearly the Wii U can perfectly emulate everything from first gen to seventh gen systems. Gotcha.

But, you guys! The ps3 emulated ps2 games perfectly and that was the early systems. Sony shouldn't have taken out the linkus support and axed it. Can you get me steamOS on the wiiu tablet only?

This thread is truly sad. OP doesn't have a CLUE.

 

[laudern]

OP you are a dreamer. There is nothing wrong with being a dreamer, but just remember, when you tell other people of your dreams, no matter how exciting they are for you to relive, they are usually boring as shit for everyone else to listen to.

The general rule of thumb when it comes to emulation is that the system that's doing the emulation has to be around 10x more powerful than the system that it's emulating. Original Xbox games cannot even be emulated right now, and PS2 is very touch-and-go right now. Right now, the Wii U would be viable for perhaps a Wii U-mode Gamecube emulator, but that's about as far as you can go. PS2 if you really push it. It won't do much more than that though.

Besides, the PS2 runs MIPS, while the Wii U runs PowerPC. The architectures are completely different - therefore requiring even more power to emulate since the instructions for each are different as per the architecture and processor. It's like asking an old iMac to run Windows 98. You simply cannot do that because the hardware does not understand it. You have to write code that can translate it, and those aren't generally too efficient. The Wii U simply is not powerful enough.

I, for one, want to see more of the OPs wisdom. I'm learning so much.

We are getting trolled to the max.

Lol wiiu might emulate dreamcast with luck but that is as far as it goes, for emulation you need 3 or 4 times the power of the emulated system.

 

[YugamiSekai]

I could see PS2 emulators for Wii U happening in the future.

 

[WiiCube_2013]

There's Xenia. It runs DBZ Raging Blast at decent speed, actually. Despite the crazy as fuck GPU artifacts.

Raging Blast 1 *puke*

EDIT: OMG, PPSSPP on WiiU would be AMAZING!! Monster Hunter Freedom streamed to the WiiU Gamepad... My body will never be reggie enough for that...

PPSSPP is an awesome PSP PC emulator but on the GamePad? The fucking GamePad's picture quality is balls.

 

[Romsstar]

There are ways around it. You can't tell me there isn't I mean look at Desmume about 5 years ago they said it was not possible.

My pc is built on the wii u specs (Unknowingly.) I run ps2 emulators all the time for the sake of kingdom hearts 2 and final fantasy x2

Also vwii does have access to the hardware upgrades because I ran not64 on both and wii u performs better and games like paper mario 64 no longer have severe lighting errors or slowdown.

You run those emulators at almost fullspeed thanks to JIT and dynarec. Even then only if your system is powerful enough. Now if the Wii U for example just had the SAME specifics as a PS3, it would be WAY too weak to emulate the PS3.
It couldn't process all those instructions, and even if someone would adjust it to the Wii U (and that person would have to be goddamn skilled) still the Wii U would run a PS2 Emulator at roughly 15 FPS, and that's AT BEST. That's the limit of the hardware, whether you like it or not.

 

[WiiCube_2013]

Again, it doesn't matter if the specs of the console are lower than the host system. The DS was very weak compared to modern PCs, yet it's fairly resource intensive when emulated.

Yep. I tried running two DS emulators (Desmume, NO$GBA) and the audio was still unable to be consistently smooth.

The notebook that I'm using is from 2014 and yet it's unable to run a DS emulator properly with its raw visuals. lol

Since it require about 10 times the original power of the console to emulate it, forget about emulating the xbox 360 on wii U.
Also, xbox 360 emulator won't work before a while on PC with their actual power.
I think the reason why somes xbox 360 games works well on emulator on PC is because either the game doens't require the full power of the xbox 360, or the emulator is made to make specifics games to works well on it. If it's the second possibility, then the only way to make every single X360 games work on Pc would be to code the emulator that way, and it would require too much time so no one would do it.

Goddamn.

Goddamn.

Goddamn.

Access the Wii U through vWii through the Wii through a Dreamcast connected to a 360 outputting an Xbox game through the third level on the ninth plane of the 8.563e dimensional existence sphere, after connecting with the Metatron through a rigorous courting session and you'll be able to everything the Wii U.

What? Are you alright, weirdo...?

 

[sarkwalvein]

Oh My God... Why... Why does somebody spend his time writing nonsense, and why do I lose my time reading nonsense in order to not believe my eyes and read it again.
Fuck...

I say this becuase my pc I just realized is built on wii u specs XD

Wut? Your PC is based on a PPC 750, what are you using a stone age iMac G3?

 

[Noctosphere]

Because if you don't read it you will want to read it even more, but since you didn't read it you didn't knew it was non-sense so you read it and discover it's non-sense and because you read it you had to read it again to understand how non-sense it is and because you re-read it then... WOW!!! AM I SAYING NON-SENSE?!?!?! DAMN IT SEGASATURN!!! I'M INFECTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awww come now, don't be like that on the poor kid: that first post actually made me LOL, in fact, if I'd been drinking summat it'd have been all over the computer screen (and his second post in the thread was even better!), so cheers OP: anyone that can make me Laff Out Loud on a sunday night before bed and work deserves a pat on the back!

It's still much higher resolution than the PSP and the PSP didn't exactly have the best quality screen either. It'll do the job just fine
