What does /vr/ think about VC games on the Wii? I just got a Wii for cheap because some Wii games look neat, but I'm curious if VC games are emulated more accurately than a free 3rd party emulator (like BNES for example).

Mainly only use VC for N64 games since the emulator for n64 is kinda shitty.

No real point in using the Virtual Console for anything other than N64 games. They take up too much space, are lacking in features, and simply are more of a hassle to use since they have to have their own channel, you can't switch games without going back to the main menu, etc.

Good wii emulators are extremely satisfying in how accurate they are to the original systems. Such as FCEUGX, VBAGX and Snes9x, which are all still getting active updates to this day to help them get better still. Aside from this, VC games offer no customization , where as these emulators allow you to choose your controller, audio and video settings, and even input cheat codes. There are plenty of other perks to using a good emulator on the wii, such as being able to get screen caps of your game. Now sure, an emulator on the wii is limited in comparison to one on PC, but it's much more customizable than anything virtual console related. And emulators such as the ones I've mentioned, are extremely effective.

>> No.1065884

I made sure to get Sin & Punishment from the Wii VC as soon as I was able to, and so far the game seems to run perfectly fine. Also, the menu screens and training mode are fully translated, though the on-screen Japanese subtitles to translate the English voices are still present.

It seems that the Wii (and by extension, the Wii U) is the best possible bet when it comes to N64 emulation because it's pretty much a first-party emulator. But if you're trying to play one of the handful of N64 games that has a function for each and every button on the original controller, you might be kind of fucked. The Wii Classic Controller doesn't quite have enough action buttons, unless you want to use Select for something or you're able to map the C buttons to the right analog stick. (I've never tried, so I don't know what's possible)

>How is VC support on the Wii U?
Not much on there yet, but the Wii U can still access the Wii VC so it's all good. I remember the Wii VC starting out pretty slow, so the Wii U VC not having much now doesn't worry me. Maybe they'll start adding more if people start buying more Wii U consoles -- which may end up happening after the new Mario, Mario Kart and Smash Bros. games come out

And you'd be wrong. There is no one "first party emulator". In reality, it's a bunch of them, and most of them cannot play anything other than the game they were bundled with.

Most N64 VC titles run on a heavily customized and speedhacked emulator tailored specifically to play that one game, which is why N64 VC game injection is almost nonexistent. Few VC titles are compatible with anything other than the game they are emulating.

In reality, accurately emulating the N64 hardware with a high degree of compatibility is far too demanding a task to ask of the Wii puny hardware. Hence the per-game emulator approach Nintendo took with N64 VC games.

Okay, so I was wrong when I said the Wii is a first-party emulator. However, my main point still stands: the Wii VC still seems to be the best option for emulating N64 games, because -- even if it's been heavily customized -- it's still first-party emulation by a company who seems to practice far more quality control than, say, Sony when it comes to this sort of thing.

If there's one benefit for Nintendo making the N64 hard to program for, it's the lack of anyone else knowing how to emulate it properly. I wonder if the expiration of certain patents will make things any easier for people.

>> No.1065960

>>1065940
>N64 emulation is rather shitty

Indeed it is, but considering almost all of the games on the VC are popular titles that emulate just fine on PC, the Wii has hardly much of a leg to stand on. Only a few like Mario Tennis and Pokemon Snap are better emulated through the VC. But there's no Rare titles to play. Hmm.

>and PS1 emulation can be very shotty as well

You speak as if we were still stuck with ePSXe as being the "best". Xebra and Mednafen are extremely accurate and compatible. PS1 emulation is far from bad these days.

>> No.1065961

Fuck, really? That must have just happened in the past month, or so, because I got my Wii U during the first week of August. Good thing I got Sin & Punishment when I did, though now I have 300 Wii points that have pretty much gone down the shitter.

>> No.1065974

>>1065951
How can it be the best option when only a grand total of 21 games are currently available, and of those, only a select few play better than on PC emulators, which are on the whole vastly more compatible?

With N64 emulation, there is no such thing as a "best" platform or emulator. All you can do is pick and choose the best emulator to play certain games. For games like Mario Tennis, it just so happens that the best way to play it is on the VC, but you aren't play Conker, Banjo, or Perfect Dark on it any time soon.

No, it wasn't to cut costs, every ps3 has a software ps2 emulator installed, you can jailbreak you own if you like and use MultiMAN to explore the ps3's file system. There you will find "ps2emu.elf (or whatever exectuable format it is)" which is exactly what it says. This has been utilized to restore ps2 backwards compatibility in jailbroken ps2s. It wasn't to "cut costs" it was to repackage them as "ps2 classics" and sell them piecemeal on psn. This literally cannot be denied.

Bullshit, sony has pulled this plenty of times in the past, and they'll keep doing it as long as they can. And piracy on the psp had nothing to do with the produo being good or bad, and it wouldn't have been any easier if it just took SD cards.

Well just think of it this way

SD Card>SD Card Reader = Access to psvita root files

PSVita Card>Psvita>cma manager =/= Access to ps vita files

Makes it alot harder to find a way to upload custom firmware

But like i said, still a dick move to price the cards so damn high

Wait a god damn second, what is wrong with playing PS1 classics DLed from the PSN store on the PS3? I can't tell if there is an actual issue here or if it's biased Sony hating.

I haven't been in touch with PS1 emulation recently but I always assumed it was shit, or at least shit to the point where it was better to DL the PS1 classics from the store.

>> No.1066186

>>1066173
Not really a dick move as they want to sell the Vita for a price competitive with the 3DS.

The dick move is not including any internal storage on the Vita, since some games literally need a memory card to play, despite the game being a physical copy. They are fixing that with the Vita 2000 though.

How the fuck is this possible? I get games needing installs when they're on disc since that has a slow read speed, but why the fuck would you need to do that for a game on a memory stick? You're just copying data from one card to another.

Sega Genesis
>Genplus is a really good sega multi emulator. It plays genesis/megadrive games ad the correct resolution and looks identical to the original. I shit you not, I have trouble telling this emulator from the real thing. Only one problem... NO SMB SHARES! other than that perfect, would recommend. 9/10
GBA
> vbagx is a port of another emulator and uses the same interface as the NES and SNES emus I recommended. It's not that great. Some games run beautifully, mostly early GBA games like Super mario advance and also all the pokemon games run very well. Other games are very stuttery and jittery and the sounds all wrong. 5/10

I use my wii for
NES - fceugx
>Damn near perfect NES emu, can do 240p, wii controller has the right amount of buttons, using virtual console to emulate games is a waste of space, use your computer, just set up an SMB share in windows and your wii can pick up your library off your wifi. 10/10
SNES - snes9x
>This isn't a perfect port of snes9x, though it is very good, there seems to be some sort of audio syncing problem, every now and then I hear a skip in the music and sound effects, I think this may have been corrected in an update recently. Still good emu, does 240p, SMB shares work, not bad, would recommend. 9/10
N64 - Virtual Console
> I tried a few n64 emulators and they all worked like crap, granted that was about a year ago, but the fact is there just aren't enough good n64 games to recommend making a whole emulator, if you're a fan of the n64 (As I am), just install whatever games you want to play from the virtual console wad list, your wii can hold a few on its internal nand, and you can install them to an sd card or a flashdrive using mighty channels. 10/10 (VC)

On the PAL VC they use the PAL versions of games, which would be fine except that NES games run at a slower speed due to differences in televisions.

I played through Mega Man and never realized the music was slower until I looked it up online, now whenever I play it it feels like Mega Man's on the moon that wasn't a Legends reference i swear

In order for it to be fullscreen, you'd have to scale the image, which would result in shitty stretched pixels;

Example of said stretching on VBAGX.

I'm pretty sure that this is the reason that both the SGB and GBPlayer windowbox the game.
