Hello,
I'm wondering if there is a stable N64 emulator for the Wii U in existence yet (or a way to inject N64 ROMS). I know there are some for the vWii, but ideally I would like to be able to play the games from the Wii U Gamepad and not a Wii Remote and Nunchuk (Don't own a classic controller...unless the SSB4 Gamecube adapter is compatible?).

Injection is possible:

N64
just get a n64 vc dump repalce the rom with the name of the rom that is on the rom folder, alter the ini for the ini that is on the config folder that has the same eaxact name as your rom folder plus.ini and change the text inside that ini for the apropriate one.

But I haven't found an emulator yet.

Okay, but the game I want to play doesn't seem to be compatible with Wii U emulation (Yup, Banjo-Tooie). Do you know if it'll work via injection? or should I resort to a vWii emulator for it?

Here's the compatibility list. It's possible the base may not work, as the emulators are all fine-tuned for each game. If you don't want to play around with that, then I would recommend just using a vWii emulator.

Could always just do Not64 through Wii homebrew. Thats what I would do.
Alright thanks for the clarification, so Not64 is the recommended emulator to use? If I use it on the vWii, do you know if it is compatible with SSB4 gamecube adapter? or must it be Wii remote and Nunchuk? (Is there enough buttons on Wii remote to assign N64 controller buttons?)

Sadly it does not work with that adapter. I tried it myself.

You would have to plug in a controller to the Wii remote to act as a classic controller. I recommend those ones from Hori, I use it myself and it feels just as good as a real Gamecube controller.

Injection is possible, but limited. N64 emulation in general is a pain from what I understand. The RetroArch thread HERE has some info regarding the progress.

Okay, thank you all for your help. I've decided to take a different approach since I don't own a classic controller and from what I've been reading compatibility isn't the greatest. This may be off-topic for a Wii U forum, but can anyone recommend a good PC N64 emulator that has compatibility for the patched Banjo-Tooie ROM? (preferably PS4 or PS3 controller compatible?)

Project 64 or Mupen

  • 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
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    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 :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @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)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too
  • Purple_Heart @ Purple_Heart:
    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
