If you can find an ISO hack improving the color scheme than yeah your golden.Hi,
I'm dissatisfied with the Wii Virtual Console's emulation and would like to improve it. Most notably, games seem a bit darker than their original release.

Any way to fix this by editing the files?
ISO hack? The games are unmodified ROM files running own Nintendo's own emulators. It seems there's some filter applied to NES, as they look darker than they originally were. Maybe some files or values in the emulator that can be edited to match the normal palette?
I assume he meant IOS hack, at least I hope so.ISO hack? The games are unmodified ROM files running own Nintendo's own emulators.

In Wii U mode there isn't much yet, in Wii mode there's VBA GX, Snes9X GX, Gen Plus GX, not sure about other consoles though. I believe there's a RetroArch port that should do the job well for most platforms.Yeah, the Wii VC is barely tolerable. The Wii U VC is horrifically bad.
What are the absolute best emulators for each platform that I can use on the Wii?

Sorry my brain is not turned on. People have said on some forums that it was possible to make a ROM into a .iso by decrypting the .bin in the Wii Application (So the main game.) However it explains it.ISO hack? The games are unmodified ROM files running own Nintendo's own emulators. It seems there's some filter applied to NES, as they look darker than they originally were.

An ISO is an image of what you would burn onto a cd or dvd.Sorry my brain is not turned on. People have said on some forums that it was possible to make a ROM into a .iso by decrypting the .bin in the Wii Application (So the main game.) However it explains it.
Not a huge file expert but a .ISO file would be a game. There are some legitimate people who have hacked the ISO to make a "fan game" or change textures if not possible through a modding method.
(IOS would be editing the main configuration of the Wii. So it seems really off topic to include an IOS mentioning. Unless this changes the problem with some games.)
Well that would be legal as long as you own the legitimate game, ... If not then it's technically piracy.
There are also ROM Hacks. Which is basically the same as an ISO.
Retroarch is very finicky on Wii. If you can get it to work properly, then it's great.Thanks. What about N64 emulators?
And what's the deal with Retroarch?

I'm aware of this, but thanks for the info about deleting the config files.Older versions of it work great, the newer ones are broken, I have 1.2.2 and never had any issues, you have to delete the config files every time you update it, and make new ones, but it gets a lot of flack because the Wii doesn't have much RAM and can't change the UI.
There's Wii64. It's been abandoned but it's still great if you want to emulate some N64 Games on the Wii. However keep in mind not all of them work (And by all of them I mean either a lot, or decent amount of games.)Thanks. What about N64 emulators?

I would recommend Not64 for N64 emulation even though you'll run into a lot of issues with non-nintendo titles.Thanks. What about N64 emulators?

Sadly no. Only works with the file of the game, I tried to with one of my NES Wii VC Titles but it did not really work out. There was no Config to make it boot into the WAD, or play it.Can any of these emulators make VC channel shortcuts on the Wii menu? That is the main appeal of the Wii VC to me. Not having to choose from a folder or list.
