All the emulators have been dead for years because they've reached the point that they play most games, and the few that don't work require massive amounts of either hacks, more megahurtz, and more accurate timing [emulation] (Also special chips.)

If you are actually thinking about trying to make a streamable emu from wii-DS you might as well try coding a better SNES DS emu, that way you only need to know the ins and outs of two systems (DS/SNES), and not three (DS/SNES/WII + Wifi).

That's not true.

There is plenty of emulators still active and getting updated.

FCE Ultra GX, Snes9x GX, Visual Boy Advance GX, Genesis Plus GX, Yabusa Wii
Again, we are talking about emulators for DS, NOT for the Wii.
your in the wrong section than

Nope, nope, looks like the right section to me, emulation and HB discussion on the emulation and homebrew implementation of a streamable emulator from Wii->DS... Talking about the state of emulators on the DS is just a by product, doesn't mean we need to split the topic and move it though.

The ONLY thing the DS needs to do in this instance is stream audio/video, and controller/touchscreen input. The Wii would handle all emulation required (Which it EASILY can do.)
The issue is with the DS, after getting it to communicate with the Wii (Which is possible.) having it relay so much data through wi-fi, with the limited RAM and Megapainz (Feasible, but... I dunno, you'd need really intimate knowledge for all components.)

If some one has a DS handy, and the means readily available, they could see if streaming video is possible with a web browser and any number of websites (None I can think of off the top of my head, google fu.)
If I get in a frisky mood, I might just grab my own DS and see whats up, but I'm afraid real life is catching up with me and I don't have the time to spend on my hobbies as much as I used to.

I strongly believe that the DS is capable of emulating snes games properly. Just look at the specs of the SNES and DS and you'll find out, that this is indeed the case, especially if you consider that some Snes games runs too fast with SNEmulDS. The issue here is the amount of time improving emulators would take. No programmer would gain something from it. If people are willing to pay for a better emulator, there is a good chance that someone is willing to improve it.

That's why I made this topic: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=298...t=0&start=0

Oh, I completely agree, there is room for much improvement and accuracy for the emulators, the only problem being the hardware (ARM7, and ARM9, +64mb RAM I think for a NDS phat?) you have to have some damn clean, concise, and compressed code to get every little bit of juice from this lemon; It's just at the point were the DS isn't worth the trouble.
BUT: there are some things that a DS SNES emu will never be able to do: Dual loading Sufami Turbo cartridges, BS-X Satellite connection for BSX games, tripping some one with the controller cords.
