My ideal setup includes not having to swap hard drives to access all of these at once. Can WiiWare games on vWii be installed to the same SD used for Wii U content?
can you provide a link on how to do that?Virtual Wii at 1.2ghz should be noted on that list. Good bye slowdowns.
So I think it has to happen at the app level; not something we can turn on and off (at least that's what I believe).
It patches cafe2wii to disable the part that underclocks the ppc when it resets it to load vwii. You can choose to use it or not, but can't be disabled while ingame.
I have all my retro needs covered with original hardware + Framemeister, but convenience is also attractive, so I get the OP's point about the Wii U. One thing I'm curious about though --- per the OP, best method for N64 on Wii U is through Wii U's N64 VC. I assume this means rom injection, since I doubt Nintendo released that many N64 titles. Can anyone point me to compatibility info for this, i.e. what N64 games fail on the Wii U?
I have my Wii softmodded, but never got around to buying the Wii U. But the little Nintendo geek inside my skull won't stop nagging.

Yep that would be it. Thanks. Actually the compatibility is not that great, huh. Still, it's N64, so not surprised.
Not64 on vwii can play some of the ones not available/working on wiiu vc.

Wii/Wiiu use powerpc code and n64 emulation isn't very developed on the ppc platform, so you won't find decent emulation on the xb360 or ps3 either. ARM is better (android) and of course it's most mature on x86.

Just build a power pc or buy one that can handle the Cemu emulator. Heck most of those games aren't Wii U games so just fire up the respective emulator on your computer and start playing. If not then you're just wanting an excuse to purchase the console 
I believe the point of the thread is pointing out the achievement of being the first Nintendo console where you can play/emulate almost every Nintendo game ever made, only missing Switch/3DS games. This is quite an accomplishment considering NES/SNES/N64/Wii&GBA/DS were officially supported, lacking only Gamecube/GB due to moronic business decisions.Just build a power pc or buy one that can handle the Cemu emulator.

Wouldn't the PC already have that accomplishment? You can also play all the games with a PS4 controller. LOL
And also, portable. +1
Of course you can play anything in a PC, but that goes beyond the point.
People should really stop comparing hacked consoles to PC, because obviously PC will always win no matter what, it's the entertainment, fun and knowledge you can gain from hacking a console which adds to the experience, and emulators on said system is a huge bonus for backwards compatibility when you want an all-in-one machine.
And playing with a PS4 controller?
Ewww, I'd rather play with an Atari joystick, PS controllers suck in design.

PS3 doesn't use PPC architecture, as it uses the Cell CPU. It will be really interesting to see Xbox One and PS4 homebrew in the future since it's all x86, a lot of really interesting ports and optimizations are going to happen. They're not nearly as powerful as a half decent gaming PC but we're more likely to see Dreamcast and Gamecube emulation become a thing on those consoles than any other ones (although the child inside of me secretly hopes for GCN VC on Switch).
lol, could say that too for now.Shouldn't it be Wii U/3DS games?
PC is PC, nobody can argue with that.

TwoSpikedHands:
yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer

@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one -
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@
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:
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:
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

@
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:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a patched ROM -
