>>5408982
yes it's a great fast and cheap way to emulate at 240p. I'm not that impressed with the latency regarding homebrew emulators on it, so opt for using virtual console wads instead whenever possible.

using homebrew emulators snes and pce might frame skip here and there, but if you get the VC wads they run perfectly.

>>5409003
cool, thanks anon!
what about the input lag? is it very noticeable?

>>5408982
Not as good as a PC due to input lag and lack of power so you can't emulate a lot of stuff after generation 4. But it's alright as a cheap alternative if you wanna play some 16bit jrpgs.

A thread died for this topic, again? Every other day we have some retard asking the same question.

>>5408982
>and PCE games

my nigga

>>5408982

If you use a wired controller then the Wii can effectively replace your Nes, snes, genesis and turbo. It’ll look and play the same as the original consoles on a crt. There’s also no input lag on a wired control with Wii, don’t listen to anons and their horse shit.

It's not very good and has a lot of weird incompatibilities. Any other questions?

>>5408982
>Is the 240p mode good? I mainly want it so i can play NES, SNES and PCE games.
Though I don't know about PCE games, it works well enough for what I needed that I boxed up my NES, SNES and Sega genesis. To play most emulation and to install Virtual console games, you only need to install homebrew which is very simple and takes less than 10 minutes.

What is not very good about it, and please name 10 of the "weird incompatibilities". If there is "a lot" of them, you will have no issue pointing them out.

>>5409197
>There’s also no input lag on a wired control with Wii, don’t listen to anons and their horse shit.
you shouldn't say stuff like that if you don't know what you're talking about. I've done my own testing and I can confirm that even in the best case scenario, wired controller, virtual console, on a crt, there's still a few frames of lag compared to real hardware. It's tiny, but it's there, and it only gets worse if you're using a homebrew emulator, wireless controller, modern display, it all adds up

>>5409217
How many frames on average

>>5409217

>> A few frames on average
You obviously have no clue what the fuck you are talking about.

>>5409217
>> My own testing
Stopped reading right there

>>5409387
alright please enlighten me

>>5409414
eh, I'm not here to convince anyone they should be bothered by the lag or anything. If you don't feel it good for you

>>5409416
You're not fast enough to detect this in gameplay. No, you're not. You're not spiderman.

>>5409438
right, so it's not that you think I don't know what I'm talking about, your reflexes and perception are just inferior. It's completely possible to feel when things are even a couple of frames off. How do you think speedrunners pull off frame perfect shit?

>>5409213
The lag is what makes it not very good, as well as the lack of features in the emulators since they're far outdated versions. Not to mention the incompatibilities. Countless MAME roms don't work (hundreds), no Dreamcast or Saturn games work, tons of N64 games like Shadows of the Empire, Battle for Naboo, etc. have graphical problems so severe you can't even play, some Gamecube games don't even work like Splinter Cell for example, these are all just examples off the top of my head. It was no issue pointing them out, you weird Wii defending goober.

>>5409217
What are your testing methods? It would be nice to have some hard data on it.

>>5409438
You're really arguing that an average gamer can't feel the difference between 1 frame or 4 frames of lag? I know your autism means that you don't have quick reflexes, but normal people do.

>>5409464
Not him but did you really not realize the Wii has significant input lag? Is this really a question up for debate in some people's minds, STILL?

>>5409464
filmed 2 crts side by side at 120 fps, one running og hardware, the other using wii. synced up the footage and went through it frame by frame.

as soon as I switched from one to another I could just feel the difference though, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't placebo.

>>5409471
No. You can't. Maybe 6 and up. But not 4. You're not that fucking good.

>>5409471
gamers rise up

>>5409475
Of course it is, you come into every one of these threads saying "I've done my own research", post none of it and act like everybody else is stupid for ignoring your posts or not otherwise believing you. If you want people to listen to your bullshit you should start by explaining why on earth a NON-HD console designed for CRTs would have inherent input lag, then you can post the 'tests' you're so proud of.

>>5409461
>lack of features in the emulators since they're far outdated versions.
What "updated" features are missing?


>>5409461
>these are all just examples off the top of my head
The examples "off the top of your head" show how empty it must be in there. Re-read the requirements the OP posted. Everything you just shit out of that hollow gourd of an ear holder of yours is irrelevant to the discussion. Op asked about NES, SNES & PC engine. You are blathering on about irrelevant topics. I am somewhat suprised that you didn't include Xbox One & PS4 in your list of systems the wii doesn't emulate also.

>>5408982
It's pretty good since it has component output and 240p, I haven't noticed any input lag and I usually notice the sort of thing. If you really want minimum input lag though you could just use a cheap PC with component

>>5409475
I don't use a Wii these days so I don't even have a dog in the fight. Hard data would be really nice though, wouldn't it?

>>5409480

Post video or it didn’t happen

>>5409504
Yeah, I can. I play piano too. I can feel the difference between 1 frame or 2 frames in fact. I'm that fucking good, and so are many others.

>>5409523
You can just test them yourself anon.. Just load up a game and notice the lag, lol
If you really need some examples I'm sure someone can dig up the same links that have been shared over and over here before, but it shouldn't really be up for debate. Anyways you'll just get btfo and not reply
>>5409541
>updated features
Runahead, rewind, save states, rom compatibility, all kinds of visual and audio customization, geez, there are tons. Do you even emulate?

>>5409464
>>5409523
>>5409581
Here's one test that shows the lag on Wiis.

>>5409550
Where might one buy a PC with component?

>>5409582
Bullshit. Even special forces personnel don't have a reaction time that fast. There's no way you can possibly be that tuned in.

>>5409581
fuck off, I didn't do it to prove it to people like you

>>5409606
yep, pretty much consistent with what I got although I didn't feel like taking the time to document it. It;s nice that someone did : -)

>>5409523
>you should start by explaining why on earth a NON-HD console designed for CRTs would have inherent input lag


I don't expect you to understand how this affects latency in games though, you don't seem too bright

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overhead_(computing)

>>5409612
>Bullshit. Even special forces personnel don't have a reaction time that fast
Not them, but muh special forces are not the fastest people in the world. They're some of the best killers, but not the fastest. Want to see fast? Want to meet someone who can do what that other anon claims? Go to a quickdraw competition. A man can fire a six-shooter, unload the spent cases, reload it, all under a few seconds. I've seen a fat lard of a quickdraw do just that in 2 seconds. Some human beings are FAST.

>>5409606
>>5409630
>> Being this retarded
This is not the video at 120fps that was claimed to exist. This proves nothing, anyone can write whatever they want on a spreadsheet.

>>5409612
Are you serious? https://www.forum-pianoteq.com/viewtopic.php?id=1011 What do you think audio latency nerds are talking about? The difference between 10, 20, 30 milliseconds is huge. Lurk moar

>>5409624
>>I didn’t do it
Precisely

>>5409642
Those guys aren't emulating on their nintendo Wiis though.
If you got speed like this you likely have found a job where you don't need a cheap option for emulation. 1-2 frames? No. Not even a quickdraw could pull that off. You're talking like 15-40ms a frame. On reevaluating framespeed, I could believe 3-4 frames if you're really good. 5 on average.

>>5409652
so you really think someone made a fake spreadsheet that detailed just to prove someone like you wrong in a stupid argument? Why are you so adamant to try and pretend the lag isn't there? Does it tickle your autism bone to think you may not be playing in the most "objectively superior way"?

>>5409652
I'm not the video guy, but now you're arguing that the spreadsheet is wrong? Hahahah it's like talking to a flat earther. I guess if there was a video in the spreadsheet, that would have been digitally manipulated. There's just no convincing retards. Again, if you really want proof, just try the games yourself and feel the lag.

>>5409660
Some people are operating on a different level, anon, and I realize how truly minuscule 1-2 frames is, but when discussing lag the spirit of the argument holds up. And yes, a quickdraw probably can operate within that time. That's the deal, anon, they're doing things so fast, they're operating in a world that we can't fully appreciate.

Consider the humming bird.

>>5409658
you know I don't give a shit if you believe me or not right? OP asked a question and I gave my answer. just go away, you're contributing nothing to this thread but saying "there's no input lag guise!!!"

>>5409593
>Do you even emulate?
Other than on the wii, no I don't.

http://buildbot.libretro.com/stable/1.7.6/nintendo/wii/

If you need updated wii support for emulation, Retroarch was for the wii updated just a few days ago.

I have never used retroarch, because I am quite happy with using my wii mainly for Snes (Snes9xGx) and Nes (FCE Ultra GX), and though they don't offer many of the unnecessary and unfaithful features you are talking about, they do offer save states for weak faggots who blame the game and not themselves. I have beaten many games without ever knowing that feature existed, and honestly I just turned my wii on to check and sure as fuck, my outdated version of Snex9xGX certainly has save states.

Is the wii the perfect emulator? Oh fuck no. But its "faults" as an emulation box are grossly exaggerated by faggots who never owned the real deal and spend most of their time complaining about nuanced differences with other faggots on a Somalian entomology picture board. The Wii is very good for CRT emulation. Is it the best on a HD tv? Not at all. Its real strength is on Tube Tvs that were built long before most of the dickshits on /vr/ were born.

>>5409697
The only one grossly exaggerating is you claiming the Wii is a good emulation box. Congrats about the one emulator not being out of date.

The one emulator that handles many systems is current and updated with support. Hows that crow taste?

>>5409719

>>5409720
>no ones says it's 100% irrefutably true, but you cam keep crying, maybe one day you'll be able to get the real consoles to try it out.
This is the failure of emulation faggots. There is no perfect emulator. Each and every form of emulation has faults. The major one is "frame lag", which is inherent to every emulation platform is unstoppable. Removing it introduces additional issues that further reinforce the idea that Emulation is only close approximation. The best way to game in 2019 is using the real systems.....Using the real games is noble as fuck if you are trying to impress a bunch of faggots on the internet, but flashcarts and cd-r media btfo collectors/resellers.

>>5409718
>>5409719
one day you'll save up enough money to move out from your parents place, maybe eventually buy the original hardware for these retro games. In the meantime stop pretending emulation has no flaws, it's pathetic.

>>5409719
>>5409718
It's your turn to prove your claims if you really want to argue there's not extreme lag. What's the matter, you can't back up your claims? How much lag is there, according to you? According to me, there's more than 5 frames of lag. What's your claim?

>>5409745
I use a wii all the time dumbass, this thread is about emulation and we're just saying what the pros and cons are of using it for emulation. People like you get so damn triggered by any mention of input lag for some reason.

Well anyway, I play SCIV and R-Type III well enough on a hacked Wii on my 20" trinitron via component.
Notice no game-breaking or noticeable input lag. Still suck at the games, but that's me not the system.

NES, SNES, Genny, and GB/C/A games on 240p component is worth any input lag that might be there. Shit looks incredible. Warm and crisp and vibrant.

>>5409754
at least you're willing to admit the lag might be there even if you don't feel it. I agree that it's totally worth the lag. having access to so many retro titles with the brilliant component picture is awesome.

right, but no one plays game in 240p test suite. Each emulator is coded different and offers different levels of run ahead, therefore input lag. Also it seems like /v/ would be a better fit for you

>>5409770
I contributed an asskicking. See>>5409758

>>5409217
This guy speaks the truth

I speedrun Mario 3 and thought using my Wii would let me practice certain levels using save states. Holy fuck that lag makes it impossible to go from the NES to the Wii. All the jumps are delayed and I was constantly running into enemies or hitting walls. Go back to the NES version and I'm doing just fine.

With that being said, I was playing Jackal with my buddy on my NES and we were doing fine and when we went to my Wii emulator we didn't have any problems. This is probably how everybody else feels when playing Mario 3 on both the NES and the Wii but the frame lag is there so don't say it isn't.

>>5409773
nah, you're just here to shitpost lets be real. that screenshot doesn't mean shit about the input lag on the wii's various emulators

It’s over kid

>this thread again

Fine I'll join in.
I also fell for the Wii emulation box meme. But lucky for me I only got one because I wanted to play the Metroid prime series cause Dolphin was stuttering like he'll on my craptop.

Anyway it's a cheap console and easy to hack, its great for 240p and if you hook it up to a CRT using component the image is amazing.
For NES, SNES, and Genesis it will serve you well enough, I personally also got one of raphnet adapters to hook my snes controller directly to it.

Now for the downsides, the emulation isn't perfect, I haven't played many games on it but I've noticed Super Mario world, Super Metroid and Castlevania 4 have slowdowns at times, it's not often but it happens, I don't know if it's there I'm on original hardware or not since I never had a snes but I also never bothered to check.
On the NES side I've noticed a lot of sprites are flickering but otherwise they seem to run well.

Now on to the input lag issue, I'm sure it's there but I personally never noticed it, then again I did my best to minimise it, like playing on a CRT and using wired controllers, no dumb filters either.

Hope it helps OP, if you don't have a powerful PC, lacking a lot of money and if you want to game on a CRT then sure, get a Wii. Just don't expect it to do any wonders.

>>5409782
ok man, you won, seriously, there's no input lag on the wii's emulators at all, you were right all a long. good job.

>>5409792
Finally the zoomer fucking gets it

Is there any way to select the homebrew channel from the Wii home menu with anything other than the wiimote? I don't want to set up the IR sensor bar and use the stupid remote every time just to get to my 4th gen games. In other words, if I want to use my Wii as a portable emulation box do I have to take the fucking sensor bar with me everywhere I go?

I enjoy emulation on wii as well as original hardware, and I highly doubt you can say the same. You also avoided my question, you only have a wii to play on right?

>>5409868
dumbass

I use a Wii to emulate

>>5409865
you can use priiloader so that the wii automatically boots directly to the homebrew channel

>>5409890
It beats PC most of the time, so what's your beef?

>>5409865
If you have Priiloader installed you can set it to load into Homebrew Channel on boot. Just hold reset while powering on, set the homebrew channel dol to 'Installed file' and in settings set Autoboot to the 'Installed file' option.

I unfortunately have 3 Japanese Saturn, 3 genesis, 2 Dreamcast, a Wii, a ps2, 2 toaster Nes and a Nintendo 64. 2 Saturn have broken CD drives and both Dreamcast lasers have died. I have pseudo Saturn, an n64 flashcart and a few Nes multi carts that cover most games. I hate having all this crap in my apartment and I’m coming to the realiation that I can replace all this with a Wii, a crt and a pc

>>5409986
This. Dreamcast, Saturn and N64 emulation on Wii is practically better than the real thing.

>>5410018
N64 Emulation is better for the games that work since it's 480p instead of 240p

>>5410065
pretty sure mario 64 lags much less in wii than in an n64 too

>>5410018
>Dreamcast, Saturn and N64

Ha ha! It is funny because it can't do those things well at all. In Sovi-

If you use a wii for authentic emulation then you might as well use your computer for N64 emulation and consider the wonky textures 'good enough' for a fun time.

Not worth the frustration. I already own the game so I got it out of my parent's basement and set it up. Using the Wii for casual emulation of NES and SNES is great especially when going to a friend's house to play on their HD T.V. but don't tell me it has no LAG.

>>5410185

..Back then, right?

>>5410185
>>paper mario has weird textures in town and the pause screen takes 5 seconds to load (everybody online says this is normal when emulating)

Yeah, that's a cart-only game, unless you play the VC ROM.

>>5410185
>>get some random weird texture glitches every now and then

Frankly, Ocarina of Time crashes every 20 hours or so, but whatever. Emulated of course.

>>5410197
>...back then
No, this was last month. I have a computer with recent parts and it kept giving me troubles. I had these same problems 6 years ago when I was emulating Paper Mario and Bomberman 2 but I just dealt with it. It also sucks not having c-buttons so I just said fuck it.

>>5410185
You use Rice with Paper Mario, not glide64. Do you have any basic google skills? Are you retarded? It should take you 5 minutes max to set up any N64 game, not 2 hours.

>>5410207
Do you like PlayStation 1 controllers? The PS Classic controllers work with XP and 10, probably more. The shape buttons make great c-buttons.

>>5410207
>No, this was last month. I have a computer with recent parts and it kept giving me troubles

Ok, mine is like 4 years old and I can play almost anything so it's bad versions of the emulator, I'm betting.

>>5410018
>Dreamcast, Saturn and N64 emulation on Wii is practically better than the real thing.

>>5410210
>>5410209
I followed a guide specifically for getting Paper Mario : Hard Mode to work and half the people got it working properly and half couldn't get it working. If I'm using an emulator I want it to be easy to use like zsnes and not require a lot of work like playing PSX games using plugins or whatever they are called.

>>5410225
Doesn't it seem like it's a better use of time to just buy the damn cart and console for the problem games? Yeah. I know, but you already went down that road.

>>5410227
Yeah I think I'm gonna buy a flashcart and just stop fussing with this. I have a couple cartridges of great games like Paper Mario and Kirby 64 so it's not like I haven't been playing anything because my emulator won't work. I haven't tried PS1 emulation in about 8 years and I wanna try getting that to work again.

Does the Wii actually emulate N64 games without any slowdown or problems? I tried Super Smash but with 2 or more characters on screen the game starts slowing down (That yoshi stage practically froze the game, took me 5 minutes to beat it when it normally takes like 15 seconds).

Wii is great for casual emulation and taking it to a friends place and playing Wii games without changing discs

>>5410237
well, most people that "emulate" N64 in the Wii just stick to the VC games, and those work very nicely

>>5410225
Just download a torrent with preconfigured emulators and roms, if you're really claiming to be too stupid to set it up yourself even with internet guides, then

>>5410237
>Does the Wii actually emulate N64 games without any slowdown or problems?

No. There's always some issue, usually major, but there's a handful that work well enough. Shadows of the Empire barely works with errors galore that can be worked around, while Yoshi's Story will not emulate on it at all, unless you're playing the VC ROM. GoldenEye works flawlessly..except for random slowdowns and I mean random because sometimes something will be perfect and other times not in the same spot doing the same stuff.

>>5409754
how do i make gba games look good? text was hard to read so i gave up and use mgba on my pc instead

>>5410237
>Wii is great for casual emulation and taking it to a friends place and playing Wii games without changing discs

Definitely, anon. It's a great little emulation powerhouse for everything from 1975 (pre-'75 games had no CPUs or answering chips) to around 1995. For someone to say that's not useful is being dishonest.

Oh and don't waste your time attempting to get Neo Geo games working; they do work, after 30 or more minutes of black screen. What fun!

If you ever want to go back to mess with N64 emulation, you might want to try "Not64" instead. The newest version plays Doom 64 perfectly, I think. Hadn't played much of it, but it look and sounds good on demo and on the first level at least.

>>5410250
bah! Too much work. I'm already gonna get the flashcart and if I want to play on my big tv I'll just use my Wii and whatever games work properly on it. I'm by no means technically illiterate but when it takes a lot of 'fiddling' to get something working and I have another choice then I'll just give up.

Nice larp. The irony is I tried Wii and it was just too much fiddling to do anything. Even some 3rd/4th gen games have issues, not to mention the input lag. Oh, and remember to use a flashcart you have to use the exact version of the rom that the cart supports. Have fun with your 320 resolution on your "big tv" lol!

Nice LARP.

>>5410326
Literally half the dosbox games don't work, just to start. Are you a faggot?

>>5410346
>dosbox games

I like you, fren, you make me laugh. Also doubt.jpg
I've gotten C64 [sic], Amiga, Atari 5200 (the pain is real), and even ZX-Spectrum games to work on it. Working well to perfect, so git gud.

You gave up too soon, you fool! :D

*you need to plug in a keyboard and mouse. Some emulators won't launch without 'em.

>>5410357
Yeah, I'm sure your larping is more trustworthy than the official compatibility list put together by the emulator developers. https://wiibrew.org/wiki/DOSBox_Wii/Compatibility_List

>>5410395
lol You think that means you're right? No, man, you fucked up by not heeding that guide; instead you tried games that won't work. Whose fault is that?

>>5410414
I didn't try them, because I looked at the guide... I guess you really are a retard after all.

>>5409612
Has little to do with reaction and lol muh special forces. Anyone can feel an extra frame or two of input lag.

>>5410424

Some people will believe you at some point, breh.

Fixed that for you.

Which is why you're not butthurt.

>Oh and don't waste your time attempting to get Neo Geo games working; they do work, after 30 or more minutes of black screen. What fun!
I have not tried it yet, as I use the VC versions of any of the Neo Geo games I want to play, but I am reading that retroarch will run neo geo titles as well.

lol Good one. Don't believe everything you read, huh? (some work, but it's a bitch)

Shit

Hi, Pat.

>>5410442
Lol why would I be butthurt? I'm merely pointing out the incompatibilities of Wii's emulation. Your projection is palpable, however.

>>5410526
You are a delight!

>^The PC gamer lashes out to mask his fear of inadequacy in the face of a large purchase.

The best retro machines (out of what I own):
>Wii U
Native support for 3 generations of Nintendo and god-tier emulation for the earlier 3 and handhelds. Great for HDMI output. Gamepad. Tons of controller options.
>PSP
Best portable option. Great support for Playstation, N64, GBA, SNES, etc. Alternative would be 3DS if you prefer DS games over PSX and N64.
>SNES Classic
Best set of SNES controllers and some already great games set up. Great for low end platforms (Playstation, SNES, NES, GBA, GB, GBC, Genesis, SMS, etc. all the easy to emulate shit) when modded. Lowest effort for some decent results. Top tier UI and the loading times are quick.
>Raspberry Pi 3
Tons of customization options. Active community with constantly improving emulators and accessibility. Low end stuff only but does its job well.

For what this board considers "retro", SNES Classic is your best bet. Best comfort of any of the choices. The SNES controllers actually feel like SNES controllers unlike the knockoffs ive tried. Plus, native compatibility for Wii Classic Controller, which is also pretty god tier. Fast menus and easy to mod. Only issue is that only 3 worthwhile N64 games run well, and Saturn doesn't do well at all. Also, controller extension cords are pretty much needed, same with a USB OTG cable if you intend to include PSX games.
While Raspberry Pi and PCs are capable of more, they don't really provide the same ease, comfort, and simplicity.
I intend on buying a Vita soon to see what it is capable of (and to play P4G and Gravity Rush on the go)

>>5410018
I said Wii and PC, but it’s ok if you wanna double down on stupid

>>5410276
I don't remember exactly, but you might switch to 240p and turn off any filtering in emulator settings, I think it outputs in 480i or something by default
not him btw

Sad!

>you can't emulate a lot of stuff after generation 4
This is either mostly true anyway or irrelevant
The N64 and Saturn are in an uncanny valley of weird hardware design where you need the skill level of John Carmack to write a decent emulator
Whereas the PSX can be emulated on anything, even contemporary PCs from when it was made
Everything since gen 5 is either close enough to PC architecture to be easy to emulate, or has backwards compatibility on devices you can find used for under $100
