What about Linux? If we wanted a good working windows 8 on Wii u, we need a linux on wii u and get the virtualbox.
I'm no expert, but i highly doubt wii u is powerful enough to run a windows vm
Actually, even the original Wii can run Windows via DOSBox, it's just... that doesn't make sense to run it, we are way better having a native Linux running. Windows does not support PowerPC.
Wii U does run PowerPC, normal Windows is x86 only (yes and there's a arm version).
There's no way of emulation Win XP like DosBox since XP is based on Windows NT. (Win 9x is still DOS-based)
Virtualization would take way too much resources than a Wii U could offer.
So, while Linux might be completely possible don't try doing this as it surely won't work. And if it would work you wouldn't be satisfied by the performance.
I'd recommend you buy an older NUC like a NUC6CAYH as those are pretty cheap, run older OSes and do have a lot of performance for their price and size.

@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! -

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

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 just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
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 -

do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files

@The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)

when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying+1 -
