A computer. Even phones have better NES and SNES emulators than what you can get on the Wii.

The only good thing about the Wii for emulation is that it can do 240p if you have a CRT.

>'more powerful'

We're talking about using these devices for emulators of decades old consoles, both are easily powerful enough. Emulators for 8/16-bit systems run great on both, the only technological trade-off of note is the Pi3 being able to run PSX (decently) and the Wii being able to run GC.

MAME on Pi really isn't all that great, a few ports of absolutely ancient versions and it starts shitting itself as soon as you hit slightly complex 2D graphics, at which point people use FinalBurnAlpha, which is also available on Wii and works fine.

There is no reason for the Wii to have any, it's a 2006 console literally made to work with CRTs that has native GC input and outputs in native resolutions. Just because you played Earthworm Jim with your Wiimote years ago and noticed a delay doesn't mean you "measured" it.

>> No.5313182

But it doesn't support 240p, so there's no point to it. The only reason people still care about the Wii for emulation is because it's easy to hook it up to a CRT and get a real 240p signal. There are other good things about the Wii, like how cheap and easily hackable it is, or its support for SNES classic controllers, but unless you have it connected to a CRT, you might as well emulate on a PC or SBC.

You are literally full of shit and you clearly haven't measured a damn thing.

4.5 times the size of the wii. Louder. Less controller support. 3x more expensive for a used Xbox Vs Wii. Getting a modded memory card and splinter cell to mod the system costs as much as a wii. Modding it by hot swapping the hard drive requires IDE headers on the motherboard, and not all boards will work. No 240p.
>MUH HALO! WEWT! MASTAH CHIEF GONNA AKIMBO YOU WITH MUH LAZAR N UZI!

No thanks. I could have modded a $20 wii with homebrew in the 2 minutes I took to type out all of the above.

The Xbox is a good system on its own, but for an emulation box the wii is better in nearly every aspect. If you say 32x games don't emulate on the wii, I will remind you that there are 40 total games, and they are all pretty much total garbage

I bought my first N64 right after release. I gave it to my sister one year for Christmas, so I could justify buying an orange replacement. I couldn't tell you how long I have had Ogre Battle, but it was before I gave away my first system over 10 years ago. The N64 didn't have that much that was great, and emulation for the 64 has always been garbage. A real system has 100% compatibility with 100% accuracy. You can't get that with an emulator. PC fags will cope and tell you what is important, but disregard the fact that nothing they will do within the next 10 years will ever approach 100%. Most of what was on the wii was garbage, but my opinions on what games are good are irrelevant.

I only owned a gamecube just for Donkey Kong Jungle beat and Super Mario Strikers, and once I got a wii, I sold it and every other game I had.

This. Its best emulators are RetroArch cores, and even then SNES and GBA emulation ranges from decent to downright terrible at times. Snes9x ‘05 runs full speed most of the time, but with terrible audio emulation and limited support for modern romhacks. GBA emulation on the other hand is just not even good enough to consider. A handful of games fun full speed on the VBA Next core, but you’re better off using various gpSP forks in Adrenaline.

I wanted this thing to be my go-to portable emulation machine. The ergonomics, D-pad, build quality and battery life are all great. But the software just isn’t there.

Sort of. Their ROMs have tons of extra code just to work right. It might take 10 more years for N64 emulation to catch up to its 8, 16, and 32 bit cousins.

You're missing the point; N64 emulation needs duct tape just to work. Too bad there isn't a Red Green 64 game.

Did you know that they blame the original coders for their emulation problems? Nintendo officially blames Tecmo for screwing up Ninja Gaiden's ending and that's for freaking NES. I talked to Nintendo about it and they fully blame Tecmo...even though emulators in the mid-2000s perfected that one.

So take it from me, emulation is still not all it's cracked up to be.

I have a dreamcast and a Retropi that I want to use on my old crt. It has composite, svideo and component inputs. Ideally what is the method for getting the best picture from both devices?

>Dreamcast
Is component better than svideo if my Tv doesnt support 480p? Maybe it does but I dont know. I've seen svideo cables for cheap but idk if component ones exist.

>Rpi
It only has hdmi as is bit i've heard that I can convert from the audio jack? I couldnt find much info about it. I've also heard about the retrotink. I've looked into it and was leaning this way - its just expensive.

The thing is if youre already using crts and retro consoles, a wii is a natural fit. If you're starting from scratch, yeah you should just build or upgrade your pc with emulating in mind. However, the n64 doesn't have many, if any, games worth playing that Nintendo didn't release officially in the virtual console. Those games work perfectly but the 240p bonus of the wii doesn't even come into play for most of those games. Most of the n64 VC games do not support 240p.
Either way, I like my wii despite having a pc with a decent emulation/rom library. It's also a hell of a lot of easier to take over to your friends house.

Surely there's MicroATX builds that run Wii at native res at this point
Then emulating the Wii emulating N64 on that would probably be the best N64 experience you can get aside from original hardware.
Good N64 emulators when

has anybody got this big neogeo games support to work?
I use retroarch so when I load the game it builds the cache and all that. But after I'm just met with a black screen. The author said that it would take some time to load. But even after five minutes it's still nothing.

The emulator isn't frozen so I can hit home button and exist.

Not them, but add Neo Geo games to the short list of systems the Wii struggles to handle. No, actually, it's just incompetent emulation and the reason for that is there are far less Neo Geo enthusiasts and hence far less NG emu coders. Don't waste your time, use another system to do NG.

I never had any issue playing any of the Metal Slug games on the VC.
