Hacking new play control...

[willfullcookie]

Ive been digging through my backup (I made them myself don't flame) of the Play on Wii / New play Control edition of Pikmin and started wondering if it was just some sort of advanced emulator. Shortly after looking through the ISO i found this in the keyconfig.ini (below) which just made me wonder even more.

somehow my thread was made twice so yeah would the mods be so kind as to delete or lock this one, sorry for the error

 

[antonkan]

I don't know, but I think it's possible.

"Advanced emulator"? You DO realize that the Wii is essentially a GameCube with more a faster processor and more memory, right? There's really no emulating involved... it's largely the same hardware. It's nothing along the lines of WiiSX (PS1 emulator) etc. The Wii doesn't have to PRETEND to be a Gamecube, because really, it IS one, on steroids. If Nintendo wanted, ANY Gamecube title could be reconfigured/coded to run in native Wii mode w/ next to no effort.

Also, what does your post have to do with changing the "New Play Control" name? I'm confused here.

 

[LightyKD]

New Play Control is a WASTE of time. If I wanted to Play GameCube games I will just find the GAMECUBE version of the game. Metroid and Twilight Princess are my two exceptions.

 

[nIxx]

These games are ported to the Wii so no it´s not possible and i really don´t know why you came on the idea that this config file has anything to do with a Emulator or whatever. You know all games have config files like this some encrypted some not.

 

[natemckn]

So the question is, could you remove the Pikmin part and replace it with another GCN game and create an iso that still works? That would allow you to play any GCN game without a GCN controller and be able to boot them from USB loader.

 

[SkankyYankee]

they already did, its a "Wii-make"
