Hacking i wonder if someone could make a sort of "wine" for wii u

[Pikachuk]

I think it would be cool to run some exe on wii u to play some pc games (like yandere simulator)
but i don't know if it would be a hard task

what do you think of it ?

 

[Filo97]

almost impossible

almost impossible

if not completely impossible

what is the problem with that ? i've already saw windows 95 on wii so with wii u hardware it could be cool

being able to run .exe is a thing, porting the GUI of an operative system to another is another one

porting the GUI

You mean "Emulating" the GUI...

 

[Filo97]

yeah, cause withouth the source code, it is not porting

 

[Pikachuk]

the Wine source code is public so porting that doesn't seem so hard

the problem is related to drivers ?

They also Have Linux on the wii

TL DR;
We need more than a Kernel exploit.

we need an hardware mod. more than a "simple" hardmod to backup

what are the limits of the kernel exploit ?
i know that we haven't access to usb and we cannot save files to NAND but i don't know the rest

 

[NexoCube]

have we access to the 2GB of RAM and ARM CPU --> No

So, impossible yet.

A .exe interpreter is plausible but if Yandere Simuator (J'ai les culottes collector mdr) use OpenGL, good luck to port it with the GX2 library...

So yeah IMPOSSIBLE.

it uses unity so i don't know if the unity games use opengl

 

[NexoCube]

I don't know too. But there is a Unity for Wii U ; Is the game Open Source ?

From experience, I would imagine Unity for Wii U games do use GX2. I highly doubt that it would use OpenGL for a number of reasons.

Unity for Wii U does use GX2, it's the only Graphic "interpreter" for Wii U

 

[GalladeGuy]

What I really want is Windows 7 for the Wii U. Like that will ever happen.

personally i'd like a port of the game but i don't think that YandereDev is a wii u developper to have access to the special unity version

But i do have (@Voxel Studios too)

DOSBox-like emulator is possible. WINE is actually just a call translator, as we don't have sufficient info about the Wii U and its library, its really hard to translate win32 calls to whatever the type of calls the Wii U have (Maybe POSIX?)
