Hacking Wii64 Issues

[dirtyderek]

This isn't footage from my wii, but it's practically the exact same issue I am having (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kdbp4pLKwg).

What causes this Thanks.

What I'D like to know is how the guy got Donkey Kong 64 working... it doesnt boot for me at all.

Download the game you want from here. LINK REMOVED then install it in your Wii using any wad manager (I use YAWMM). Your choice if you want to load it from the Wii or the SD card.

A massive amount of illegal wads there, I suggest you remove the links before you get in trouble.

indeed, you're right. i completely forgot about that myself

 

[JN_big3]

Sorry about that. Thanks for removing them. Forgot the rules. I'll read them later again

WADs are potentially dangerous anyway

 

[KiiWii]

Only if you don't know what you are doing or download from a non-reputable source.

So nobody knows why random wiis emulate as in the video above?

Is it just for Donkey Kong 64, or is it all N64 games?

And where are you running the emulator and ROMs from? SD? DVD?

Wii64 in general has pretty bad compatibility (not putting it down because I know they probably worked countless hours on it), but probably about 2/3 games don't work perfectly on it.

That's been my experience as well (of the dozen or so that I tested, Super Mario 64, Kirby 64, and Mario Kart 64 were the only ones that had few enough graphical errors for me to enjoy). But that said, N64 compatibility is pretty bad across most emulators... the only seriously amazing one that I've seen personally is Sixtyforce, and coincidentally it's also the only closed-source one, lol. Go figure. Though N64oid (a sort of hacked up Android version of Mupen64) is among the best open source N64 emulators I've played.

I've had no issues with Project64, its played every game that I've thrown at it flawlessly.

On the topic of Wii64 though, in their last blog post back in September IIRC, they said they had made massive improvements to Wii64, including ROM hack support, but we still don't have 1.2...

 

[KiiWii]

Fully agreed with PJ64 being the mutts nutts.

http://emulatemii.com/ sept 2011 - supporting texture packs on wii64, but still working on dynarec for PS3 port.

Will it ever see the light of day?

 

[Bladexdsl]

i wouldnt even bother with wii64 at the moment

 

[the_randomizer]

Well, at least PJ64 works on most OSes and doesn't have OS discrimination (*cough* Mupen64 *cough*).
