Pretty much everything else, you cant just dump a common key and use it to play games, you have to emulate the entire backend and frontend. You have to make the computer think its a wii u so that game will work stably. There's a reason emulation is so dodgy, and a reason why Dolphin has taken this long to be this good.
tl;dr It wont happen anytime soon.

That only covers one region of the wii u system, there are so many other regions that need to be emulated.
I only expect work on Wii U emulation to start when we get homebrew running on the actual console first. Once we know more about the inner workings of the system by writing homebrew apps that test various parts of the console (an example would be dolphin's hwtests suite), then we can start looking at what needs to be done.
Lol, Cafe sdk just to develop software for wii u. Not to do an entire re write of the os to work virtually on a pc.
Though a very helpful item when reversing programs already living on the wii u it's not a handbook on writing it to another set of hardware.
Or even a complete dev kit to the OS itself. It's more like here is how you make things work to put it on this os not here is how the os runs.
I really think the emulation will be a lot harder than most think. This console has two different processors in it and use both to run programs.

Exactly, a dolphin only just recently became stable, how long will it take to create something like this and actually make it playable, probably 10 years. Dolphin is on its 12th year

@SylverReZ, RC Pro AM was made by Rare, and that explains why I liked it. Just learned the other day about a game I loved that was made by Rare and I was surprised lol -

Are you being for real, cause that's hard to believe, DK is Nintendo and made in japan, Sea of thieves was from Microsoft, in America. I'm not calling you a liar, just didn't know. -

Ok yes they were both made by Rare, but DK was from Rare back then, Rare now is owned by MS. So makes since.+1
