I was wondering......Is it possible to make a sega dreamcast emulator on the wii. I heard some people saying that the dreamcast is more powerful than the wii. So can it be possible?

The Dreamcast definitly isn't more powerful than the Wii, however I think in order to have any emulator even a chance to work, the console that acts as the emulator must be at least 3x as powerful as the console it's emulating.

I personally think it's impossible to do.

i'd say no, even the best dreamcast emulators only work at their best if you have an amazing pc, i'd expect first release wii64 speeds to be the maximum on the wii (aka just a few fps and thats the best we'd ever get it)

lol gameking, as Deadly said its probably POSSIBLE, but to get it working anywhere near playable? very much doubtful to say the least. Gameking do me a favor, download a dreamcast emulator and try to play a game you enjoy, and see how much fun it is

you need a very good computer to even play SOME games (not all) at playable speeds

This

There was even an attempt to emulate ps2 but it was awfully slow it was never released, so to answer your question yes its possible.

Is it worth coding something that will barely work? No

Best bet is to just buy a dreamcast. I'm sure that you can find one floating around pretty cheap and games are still pretty easy to find. Im glad that i still have my launch console. A good dc emu with out a good pc is just not happening right now.

Last time they sold they here in the US they went for $69.99 new. That was at the end of things when they were just selling them off, but i'm sure that you can get one for much less then $60 used. A friend of mine bought one on ebay not to long ago for $25.

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
