a pc is a better solution for emulation

The wii is not a good emulation machine. It can't do neo geo or dreamcast or playstation properly for one.

>>3348367
well it definitely can do playstation. ive played crash bandicoot on mine. ive heard of people doing neo geo, but never dreamcast.

its still pretty nice to have around though. don't think i'll ever get rid of it.

>>3348362
>that fucking controller
I have never hated a controller as much as I hated that thing. The controller itself was great, but the fact you had to have the god damn wiimote dangling off it was pants on head retarded.
if I didnt wear a hoodie 24/7 it would've been completely unusable.

>>3348372
>if I didnt wear a hoodie 24/7
please lose weight or stop shopping at hot topic or both

>>3348369
Sure it can do crash bandicoot but it can't do fucking megaman legends.

Garbage as far as I'm concerned.

>>3348373
I actually already have, but years of being a fat fuck and only wearing hoodies have conditioned me and now I just wear my big floppy hoodies like a onesie.
I live in europe, I have no idea what hot topic is.

>>3348379
good for you, nigga

i sure hope you aren't op and don't enjoy the wii for emulation like some sort of faggot

>>3348349
When it comes to emulation nothing will beat the computer.

>>3348381
I only enjoy the wii for monster hunter and smash bros, sadly.
I have a computer and a phone for emulation.

That being said, using an android phone as an emulation machine is pretty decent, you can hook it up via MHL and pair a 10£ bluetooth controller to it and it'll run everything up to PSOne, depending on the phone/phablet.
It has the added benefit of working pretty independently, no need for modding or homebrewing, just running a program like you would on a computer.
It's definitely better than the Wii if you ask me, though not as good as a proper compooter.

>>3348391
Plenty of hardware aided and even full software emulation that is implemented on a per game basis on VC/classics on consoles.

>>3348349
Original hardware with flash carts?

>>3348363
>few hundred games
Total? There's probably about a good 10 games worth playing on each system, give or take. The rest are either shit or nostalgia goggles.

>>3348362
Might as well download any emulator you want and use any controller you want on PC.

If you can get a first gen wii dirt cheap (and it is usually possible to do so because of how popular it was) then wii is pretty good as long as you get a classic controller pro and gamecube controller. I wouldn't get a wii just for the emu though as it is a long way from perfect overall. Imho get a wii first and foremost cos you want to play gamecube and wii games.

>>3348364
I dunno bro, the wii is great for being discreet and nicely tucked away into my livingroom setup.

I can sit on the couch and play retro classics without an unsightly PC tower and cables everywhere.

Practically, the wii is just more appealing to me.

This. The Wii is the best BARGAIN by far but it still falls inbetween the perfect accuracy of actual consoles and the maximum possible flexibility of PC. It's just that the value on Wii is so extremely good for what it can do, how it can do it and how monkey easy it is to mod.

>>3348367

>Dreamcast
>Playstation

Honestly, why do you even expect it could? A hacked console that can emulate these well doesn't exist period. The Wii's only as powerful as a Gamecube anyway.

>Neo Geo

It plays Neo Geo just fine, between the VC wads and Final Burn Alpha you can play anything.

>>3348349
Yep, a cheap laptop.

>>3349516
Shit, the Wii doesn't even emulate SNES or N64 all that well either.

Oddly the Wii's PS1 emulator runs Crash Bandicoot pretty damn well.

>>3349479
Just saying that if you hate >99% of video games we've got a whole board right there for you, no need to fag up this one.

>>3349516
There are pretty great Playstation emulators, Anon. Dreamcast is catching up.

I was thinking Wii VC is a nice way to play old games but as it turns out if you want to play Japanese games you are better off emulating considering how hard it is to even find many of the WADs.

An Xbox is notably more powerful than a Wii but there are more controller options on Wii. Wii is easier to mod, usually cheaper and you get the whole GC and Wii library in native mode instead of just the one library with Xbox.

>>3348349
gotta say Dreamcast or Xbox, when mine were still in main use they saw much more homebrew action than the Wii

>>3348364

Wii is slightly more powerful than a GameCube.

>>3349480
>Wii is nice because it's already set up on abig monitor
HDMI cables are expensive you are right.

>>3348349
Plenty. Compared to other options like a PC or android box the wii is seriously under powered, has limited emulators and many of those aren't very good. Aside from people who aren't aware of these problem there are some real retards ITT.

>>3348363
hasn't heard of flash carts yet

>>3349476
hasn't heard of flash carts, flash carts with rts, or even a video switch box

Damn.

>>3349513
Yup. I was playing my wii earlier, it has every nes/genesis/snes game on it. A usb stick in the back with gamecube games on it, also some gamecube games on the SD car in the front. And another usb hooked up the the external harddrive next to the wii which has over 60 wii games on it. Literally the perfect console. Oh and netflix

It's fine for NES and Genesis, I guess.

The PS3 is way better for homebrew, too bad this board is too retarded to actually try and downgrade their models.

>>3349867
Too bad the PS3 homebrew scene is too retarded to actually try and make their shit work on modern firmware. There are still good PS3 games coming out; it's not worth having a gimped console that's only good for homebrew when you could get a Wii for $10 at a thrift store.

>>3349776
>and most GBA games run like shit
I realize you already stated your distaste for Retroarch, but give the mGBA core a whirl. Shit runs really well.

wiiMednafen is really only useful as the standalone PCE/CD emu in the lineup.

>>3349894
WiiMednafen is also the only good Virtual Boy emulator on the Wii, for what it's worth. Playable in 3D too.

>>3349903
Never put any thought into emulation the VB to be honest, so that's nice to know. Only thing I can think of off the top of my head that I'd like to try is Wario, but still.

>The PS3 is way better for homebrew

I would love for you to try and find an exploit in the newer firmwares then. It's not like Sony isn't trying to ensure it never gets cracked unlike Nintendo who is incompetent as fuck with security. Go ahead, you're more than welcome to help.
>it's not worth having a gimped console that's only good for homebrew
Now I know you're baiting. Kill yourself.

>>3349940
Fuck off shill.

Wii is cool if you're on the cheap, I use it for virtual console n64 games which are great with a gamecube controller. Wii classic controller is great but the input lag bothers me, no matter how subtle it is its there. Wii is also really weak so MAME and others systems emulate extremely poorly on it. Best experience is definately real hardware+flashcarts though

>>3349949
Fuck off nintoddler.

>>3349956
Keep trying bb! Maybe you'll be able to hurt my feelings in a decade or so.

>>3348919
Why are you here?

I think it runs almost everything up to the 5th gen perfectly, and in 240p, so I'm cool with it.

I guess there's a way to make computers that can also run at 240p while having power to run Higan or something like that, but haven't bothered to check that out.

How is pic related compared to the original one?

>>3351338
no dvd

This thing was a miracle. Even the N3DS is failing to be as good of a /vr/ emulator.

>>3351338

Fucking awful and completely terrible. It's unhackable.

>>3349867

The only version of Retroarch I can find is broken.

>>3351436
All versions of RetroArch are broken. RetroArch is fucking garbage.

>>3348349
DS, GBA PSP, PSV, OpenPandora, and CHiP all work for on the go. But everything 'cept PSV, Pandora, and PSP are garbage.

As for home emulation, A good PC and a DS4 smash Wii in terms of power and flexibility. And you can use things that aren't fucking RetroArch. On the low end, the latest pi can trash the wii, leaving the wii to dominate the midrange. And seeing as I already have my PS1, that's all I need. But I already have a good PC, so why the fuck would I care?

>>3351459

I want to emulate on my PS3, but I can't find anything to use.

>>3351430
The n3ds emulates everything far more accurately. The PSP is pretty old man

>>3351495
Is it really that great? Last time I checked it could only handle like 3 SNES games.

>>3351495

It doesn't compare for PS1 games. Admittedly SNES is more iffy and even the O3DS is superior for GBA.

>>3351504

That's probably the O3DS

>Do you use a CRT like a real man?

Wii homebrew with scart or RGB depending on your region. Delicious 240p.

>Are you a faggot LCD nig?

Use a PC, I'm sure it will look fine. Maybe even try some filters. Heh.

>Want the best of both worlds?

Guess you better fuck around finding a HD downscaler or a videocard with a VGA out and a custom driver that you can link up to RGB or wire a SCART socket for or some other fucking retarded shit oh my god jesus christ why when will somebody just invent a videocard with a proper analogue video output whyyyy

>>3351715
>will somebody just invent a videocard with a proper analogue video output
Before you were born?

>>3353176

Presumably he means a MODERN video card. All graphics cards nowadays are HDMI or DVI.

It'd be great to have all the power (hence, full emulation abilities) of a modern video card with scart and/or component output that runs native 240 and 480 video modes.

>>3353512

>DVI
That's DVI-I, which means you can take VGA off it.

>>3349554
>emulators
>plural

beetle psx is literally the only good playstation emulator

>>3353516

That still means you're gonna have a string of connectors, adapters and scalers in order to get it to display on a regular TV, which was the point made in >>3353512

>>3353528

You just need this one passive adaptor to display on a VGA monitor. Though, it depends on your graphics card whether or not it will output below 480p.

>>3351505
>emulating gba when there's literal hardware for it on the system
I bet you're one of those retards who think save states are worth it.

>>3353542

I was actually referring to the VC injections there, not emulators.

>>3353512
>HDMI or DVI.
You don't need a "MODERN" card to emulate. There are modern cards specifically for people who want analog. And even many cards you probably know about are aren't HDMI/DVI exclusively. Many can output component on a VGA port.

>>3353591

>Many can output component on a VGA port.
Is there any way to do that in software?

>>3353539

Who wants to play SNES and NES games etc on a VGA monitor? You may as well play on a normal LCD if you want pixels that fucking crisp.

I'm talking about getting a signal into a TV, the type of signal consoles output, so you get the authentic experience. Either SCART for Eurofags or RGB/S-Video for Amerifags. There are cards that do it, but they are a pain in the ass to get it running in 240p.

Hence a Wii is just fucking easier frankly, jesus christ. It's not that hard to understand. It plays every 2D console you'd want to play, and the 3D consoles it doesn't do (i.e not retro ones) are still cheap enough to buy and collect for that it isn't even an issue.

I have a modded Wii, modded PS2, hooked up to my old TV, for delicious CRT goodness; and for anything else I just use my PC.

>>3353631
>I have a modded Wii, modded PS2, hooked up to my old TV, for delicious CRT goodness; and for anything else I just use my PC.
Well you're definitely following the cheapest route to retro gaming. Is your next purchase going to be an N64 flash cart, a Dreamcast or an Xbox? It's a shame Xbox doesn't play Dreamcast games right?

>>3353631

>buying into the second hand jew

Some people care about actually playing the games, not shelling out hundreds of bux in order to fill that deep, gnawing emptiness in their soul with lumps of grey plastic from the 80s.

>>3353659
I didn't say there was anything wrong with following the cheapest path. If I was just now getting into retro gaming I'd do the same thing and even as it is I often use my Wii just for convenience.

>>3351430
Nah, N3DS has outweighed it on everything but PS1, being able to play SNES games with great results, having perfect GBA and DS simulation and more polished emulation for almost everything else (Yoshi's Island and Star Fox are still out of reach, though).

>>3353721
>having perfect GBA and DS simulation
Only downside is no multiplayer connectivity, GameBoy Player support, e-reader support, etc.

It's best to play GBA games that don't have multiplayer or e-reader support so you don't miss out on anything. Wario Land 4 and Minish Cap for example, which are both Ambassador games.

>>3353734
Most games that had something going on with e-reader have been patched anyways, though.

>>3353737
Source? I'm pretty sure that's just GBA games on the Wii U VC. GBA Ambassador games on the 3DS are just untouched ROMs.

>>3353740
You can inject games into the GBA VC, anon. It's a pretty easy process and you can use any ROM.

That means you could play colour patched FFVI, for example, or card patched SMB3.

>>3353721
>Yoshi's Island
How about the gba port?

>>3353680

That's fine then, it sounded sarcastic though.

Honestly I think a Dreamcast is the only other console I'd get; N64 has to be my least favourite console of all time, and I can't think of any memorable Xbox titles.

>>3353760
It's there, you can inject a colour corrected version and works perfect.

>>3353743
>>3353765
How do I inject GBA games into the 3DS?

Also, can I inject these color-corrected versions into actual GBA carts?

>>3353772
Look up hbg's guide in /vg/ for injections.

For the thing about actual GBA carts, you could use a flashcart or do a homemade cart, thing that would take pretty money and effort, but if you're not using an SP or a Micro it's pretty worthless, isn't it?

>>3353772

You need to install CFW. There's a guide here https://github.com/Plailect/Guide/wiki and you can get help in /vg/'s /hbg/. You need another guide for making your own GBA CIA's, but there's some ready made here https://mega.nz/#F!vwNHRZbC!HJmpg_fHhqcrB-9ojd0gsA

Get a GBA flashcart if you want to run them on real hardware.

>>3353778
>>3353779
Thanks. The only color restoration hack for SNES ports on the GBA I could find was Yoshi's Island. Are there any others out there?

>>3353795

The mega link I gave you has FFVI and SMW.

>>3353795
Check out romhacking.net

>>3353616
Not sure what you're asking. You need to select a video mode that's compatible with component in the settings, which is software. You may have to add those modes, which can be done with software or wetware. You'll need VGA>component cable and possible a DVI>VGA connector which are obviously hardware.

>no 240p output
lame

>>3355136
Most people use 480p or 720p anyway.

The benefits of the Xbox far outweigh the purist benefits of 240p. The Wii isn't powerful enough to do fully accurate emulation anyway.

>>3355165
>Most people use 480p or 720p anyway.
Upscaled or rendered? Either way, they miss out on scanlines.

>The benefits of the Xbox far outweigh the purist benefits of 240p.
Such as?

>The Wii isn't powerful enough to do fully accurate emulation anyway.
Yes it is. The GameCube could emulate N64 games almost perfectly.

>>3355193
The Xbox will perfectly scale emulated games to 720p so that your TV doesn't have to. Certain emulators such as Surreal64 will even render the games natively in 1280x720.

Benefits of the Xbox:
>720p/1080i video
>5.1 digital audio
>XBMC kicks the shit out of the homebrew channel
>Most emulators have a consistent design with the same menu and options thanks to Xport/MadMab making almost everything
>Surreal64 and PCSXbox run most games at full speed whereas WiiSX and Not64 are barely functional
>CoinOps and Emuxtras turn your Xbox into a digital gaming museum
>x86 Intel processor means PC porting is dead simple
>Can run Windows games using wine
>DS emulator that has been making steady progress whereas the Wii DS emulator is dead

Anything that runs on the Wii is either matched or surpassed by the Xbox. The only reason Wii homebrew is so popular is because it's easier to softmod.

>>3353591
>>3355107
>Many can output component on a VGA port.
People have attempted to output some really wacky R,G and B signals to simulate YPbPr over a VGA port, but I don't know of anyone who has actually managed to do it without completely fucking over gamma and just about everything else.
There ARE cards that output Component over DVI, but I don't know if that's still a thing.

>>3353542
I know they're still ARM processors, but they can't actually be used to run GBA software directly, can they?

>>3355402
>is because it's easier to softmod.
And that it supports the original resolutions systems output at rather than having to scale, which is decently important to a lot of people.
You're not wrong on most of the other points though; 240p output from the Xbox would really make it just about perfect.

I've played maybe a total of 30 minutes of Conker, so I can't tell, but is that being stretched horizontally or are you using a widescreen hack of some sort, because I know the N64 version isn't widescreen. Also, wouldn't Live and Reloaded be simpler to go about doing, sans some censorship issues?

I will say; The Genesis emulation on the Wii is pretty top notch, to the point where the emulator has actually been ported back to x86.

>>3355165
>MFW this looks better than coin ops

>>3355474
No idea what some people have tried I just use what the manufacturer gives me. That works fine. I plug my laptop into my TV with a simple VGA>component cable all the time. I can do the same on most of my other machines as well.

>>3356045
And what laptop/adapter would that be?

I have a Rpi3 with recalbox installed. It''s pretty comfy just a shame N64 doesn't run so great. Future is promising with Dreamcast integration and steam streaming. I'm hoping that I'll will be able to get Dolphin running through steam and have access to GC and Wii games also.

>>3355402
240p on a CRT is the biggest reason for a Wii for me.

>>3351338
Don't even bother. The Mini only has one USB port, no wifi, no SD card slot, and no Gamecube controller ports. It may be possible to hack it, but it would involve a ton of effort like soldering in missing components. It's a far better idea to spend a little extra to get the original Wii.

>>3356803
Samsung RF711/Generic VGA->Component cable

>>3357125
Don't forgot Composite video only.

The Wii Mini is a fucking disgrace.

Wii is boss as fuck if you want something that gives you easy access to 3rd and 4th generation games with purist 240p RGB output. In fact it's pretty much the only choice if the 240p thing is a deal breaker for you, which if you're a CRTfag, it really should be.

If you aren't bothered about purist resolutions and display, then I can't see why you'd go for any other choice than just using PC with a decent USB gamepad. I have a little USB converter so I can use PS1/2 controllers and it rules; but these days I can't stomach seeing old games upscaled and pixellated as hell.

Plenty of valid points but the mobo is so much smaller it makes it interesting for portables. I've looked into it and like most people given up. But there are enough potential vectors not fully explored that I believe someone will eventually do. Some one with much more free time and a more severe form of the tism than the rest of us.

>>3355402
Are you telling me that the first XBOX is more powerful than the Wii, which came out 5 years later? Or is just better software?

>>3358831

The Wii's analog video converter can't output resolutions above 480p, even if it could render that.

In the end, the two consoles are roughly equal in power.

>Can run Windows games using wine
nigga what

>>3355402
>Windows games under wine
Actually you can run Windows 95 under Xbox, not like you'd want to since a good many of the games are slow, so you're stuck to mostly simplistic windows games. I don't think Wine would be that much better.

Fuck yeah, I've used my Wii more for retro emulation than for any actuall Wii or GC games.

If you haven't already you should really check out mGBA, either as a standalone or as a core in the latest RetroArch. It's significantly better than VBA and its dozen hacked variants, I tried it the other day and was surprised to see I can now run things like SRWOG2, AoS and MZM at full speed, which all had noticeable lag in VBA.

Also, who says SNES has problems? It's always been pretty spot on, even in the early stages of the Wii homebrew, unless you're one of those Higan autismos who get an asthma attack because the RGB values of the shadows casted by the clouds in stage 9 of "Obscure Mahjong Horse Racer 7" are off by 3.

Anyone know if there's a way to use the Wii without a wiimote? I have my original launch unit with homebrew installed, but i don't have any controllers besides gamecube ones. Wondering if theres a way I can basically turn it into a gamecube and still run homebrew.

>>3360219

You want to install bootmii or priiloader to get it to autoboot into the Homebrew Channel.

>>3349670
actually the wii is powerful than the original xbox but yeah.

If you do this, you can at least load up whatever is in Homebrew with the GC controller. If you need something on the main menu though, you still need the wiimote.

>>3361509

You can run a USB loader from the Homebrew Channel, and subsequently load any other channels.

>>3348349

Retroarch lets you use a controller to do everything.
Alternatively you can build a small computer and install debian + retroarch on it. You can have hardware strong enough for shaders and whatnot and still have months of uptime with no issue.

>>3361826
I second this, Wii is only a good alternative if you're living in America (make it great again).

I have a Raspberry 2, and a hacked Xbox.
The wii with homebrew is the best alternative.

>CRT TV
>GC pad for 3D games
>Pad Playstation + fit for 2D games

My Xbox is old, has some bug, some N64 games do not work, I could never run a PS1 play. The Xbox pad is unsuitable for 2D games (multi-directional cross). And then the console is big.
The Raspberry is good to play on an HDTV, but it will never equal the original.
The Wii on CRT is the closest matches that we can have, the image is like the original. Even better, because there is the NTSC (60hrz) with the beautiful colors of the PAL (RGB).

>wasted potential

How so? It does pretty much everything I need.

The wii scene was very active for 5-6 years, which is a lot if you compare it to others, and offered a lot of choice for homebrew.

Of if you're not poor, you own the original console.

Can you buy Hack version of Super Mario 64 ??
Can you buy japanese game with english fan-trad ?
Can you buy Earthbound 180$ ??

I have many games on 15 consoles,but some people have neither the space nor the money for 15 consoles and games. And the best alternative is the Wii emulator.

>>3361990
Did you inject that romhack into a WAD or are you running it through one of the homebrew N64 emulators?
I'd imagine the former would be preferable, so how'd you get it to display white instead of grey?

But the Wii has native 240p output and component for CRT tv? I thought pc couldn't hook up to a CRT tv or output 240p unless it's super old, and then it probably doesn't have the grunt to emulate most games?

>>3362961
not him, and I've never tried myself, but some modern video cards can with some modifications. You don't need an "old" PC.

besides some mario 64 hacks that won't run on a real console, you could do all that stuff with flash carts

It's pretty damn easy setting up a Wii though, and it outputs native 240p/480i/480p without any hassle. Not to mention there are enough controller adapters that if you really want a real genesis pad or N64 controller or whatever, then you can get one.

It's hard to argue with a wii from a combined angle of functionality, practicality, and simplicity.

>accuracy
What year is this? 99? 01? I can't remember the last time accuracy was an issue on anything older than n64

LMFAO HE SAID XBOX IS MORE POWERFUL THAN THE WII

You need to properly adapt that gpu to rgb though. It outputs 240p with vga like a TON of AMD cards can with the same drivers/CCC installed. You need to turn the vga/dvi into scart or component.

>>3363569
It is. Run N64 emulators on both and you'll see.

we should have HAD an exploit by now that makes it easy to do like the Wii

no, i don't want to buy something extra and i shouldn't have to rely on an older PS3 to upgrade my fucking super slim!

Emulators are not a measure of something's power. The PSP has perfect PSX emulation despite its low specs.

How accurate is the WiiMednafen for emulating the PC Engine? Is it any good?

>>3362958
I go through the homebrew, and it gives me access to different emulator. In terms of WAD, I have a problem, I can't install, the Pimp My Wii can not find them.
Otherwise I don't understand the question about white ou grey display.

>>3364046
As much accurate as Mednafen Pce emulation is.

The Virtual Console release of Super Mario 64 is noticeably darker than the original.
