Wii Emulator

   Want to see the Wii in high-def?

   Do you adore the high-definition picture from your HDTV? It certainly looks glorious when paired with the right source. Sadly, the Wii isn’t one such source. With it being confined strictly in the land of standard definition, Wii owners with HDTVs just have to live with the blurry, undefined visuals.

   What if, just for a moment, we could taste what the Wii would be in high-def? Thanks to emulation, we can.

   YouTube user renebarahona has posted a number of videos on his channel offering captures of Wii games running in high-definition. Of course, even the highest quality of YouTube videos isn’t able to faithfully convey the increase in quality thanks to the bump in resolution.

   Through the use of a powerful PC and the Dolphin emulation software, gamers can load their legally owned Wii and GameCube game data for play at increased resolutions. While textures and other art assets won’t change, the bump in resolution makes everything look of a higher quality.

   System requirements to obtain results similar to his are steep, with at least a 3 GHz dual core processor and an 8xxx-series GeForce or 3xxxx-series Radeon.

   Check out renebarahona’s YouTube for more, including directions on how to load the emulator yourself.


Will try this as soon as i get home  and report back :thumbup1:

Indeed, this is good news.  ^^
I just tried but it only works with backups in ".iso".
I tried with original wii games but they are unreadable on a PC DVD player. : /

I'll try it later when I have more time and a backup in ".iso". :P

I own a Wii... well, it's my Fiancees, she loves it... I personally don't play it that often, but we have got around 17 games for it, so I might give it a go when I get some spare time..

I will report back here to let you guys know how well it works, if it works at all that is....

I have a Wii, fun I guess, but only a few games even interest me.

So much shovelware...

Dolphin having Wii support is kinda a no brainer, since they're similar.

Now we just need XBox 360 and PS3... which won't happen until our computers have more processing power... especially the PS3.

I have a wii but i rarely buy games for it, got about 8 and i have had it about 2 years. The reason i dont buy many games is cause they lack online gameplay.
May look into this.

There is a cracked software for the ps3 . The only thing that sucks it's that the developpers of the software don't know how to crack the games :biggrin:

I tried the Dolphin emulator with the game Murasame and it is perfectly playable !
Much better than on TV and I played with my Pad Xbox 360 : It's great !

I tried New Super Mario Bros, it starts up but we can only play with a wiimote. But I have no desire slammed 30 € in there.

The whole problem is there now, get good games that are playable especially with a pad. :P
I will try Mario kart. ^^
