Hello, I'm new to this forum so I hope this is being posted in the correct location. I've been playing the Metroid Prime series for the upcoming Prime 4, and I'm on Prime 2 and thought of something. Is it possible to swap out the game textures for higher resolution ones? I know it seems a little silly to want to increase texture resolution on a Wii but hear me out... In terms of specs, the Wii's GPU almost DOUBLES the GameCube's. But as far as textures are concerned, the Wii has quadruple the VRAM (64MB vs. 16MB on the GC). Not only that, but the bandwidth of the Wii's GPU is exactly 3 fold (3.888GB/s over 1.296GB/s). Now normally you need hardware many times greater than what you're emulating so naturally this idea does seem a bit redundant, but the Wii is basically a beefed up GameCube, it's easier to emulate GameCube games on a Wii than say N64 games with something like Wii64 or even that relatively new port of Mupen64 because Nintendont doesn't have to translate as many instruction sets if any as both consoles' CPUs are based on the PowerPC architecture. Now of course I'm asking if this can be done naively on Nintendont, but if not, what way can I do this where it can be properly emulated on Nintendont?
Homebrew Custom Textures on Nintendont?

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze -

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.

But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.

Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need -
