So I recently got a new laptop and I'm going to transfer some things over but my question is:

what is and isn't a virus

Here are programs I am unsure of

FCEUX ( nes emulator)


snesX9 ([can you guess?] emulator)


Dolphin (NGB and NW emulator)


Nemu64 (N64 emulator [Though I may switch to P64])


Visual boy advance (gba, gbc and gb emulator)


No$GBA (NDS emulator)


Lunar.ips (ips patcher)


TLP (tile editor)


SM64DSE (sm64 ds level editor)



Please reply if you have answers for even 1


And none of you will know what this is but what about

Gameranger (a server system for old games like crusader)

Just install a good anti virus and you won't have to worry about any Trojans or malware viruses that install from other files.

Why would you be concerned with viruses for a emulator? If anything, is probably the least targeted software on the internet to contain one. Then again anything is possible. If they was working on your computer like normal, then probably not viruses. Just don't fill out surveys and submit emails for any of them, you be safe then. Most sources to get them from now are Github which is safe, other than that, I use https://www.emulator-zone.com/ they rate all the emulators so any newcomer can decide what one is recommended.

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
