Oh for f... you can't ask for roms. They're illegal.

I say we make a big flashing sticky that says "ROMS ARE ILLEGAL! ASK FOR THEM AND GET PERMABANNED!" in bold, red, blinky text. Maybe underlines and more exclamation marks too...

It's unlikely a console as new as the Wii has been emulated yet, especially considering the technical difficulties the sluggish advances on the homebrewing front imply and the difficulties to get reasonable running speeds even when emulating older consoles such as the PS2 (though it might be the Wii has a more emulation-friendly hardware setup).

The FAQ states that links to ROMs or ROM sites may not be posted; this should make it obvious that you shouldn't ask for them either.

He might also be alluding to WiiWare and Virtual Console titles, along with homebrew emulators and injected games like Smash Bros. and Chrono Trigger.

Still the same answer as he was already given though.

Of course he's not, that's dumb.

Also Wii ROMs do not exist

Wii ROMs don't exist, so say G E N O WHIRL OR SHINING FINGER SWORD to pass time.

My cousin has been able to play downloaded and burned gamecube games. At least, I think he has. And there are wii ROMS out there.

Shouldn't they be called "ISOs"?

Whatever. The points is that you CAN download GC games. And Wii games.

It's easy to get ISOs of games, hell, theres even PS3 ISOs. Still, doesn't mean you can actually play them.

GC emulation has been about for a while, no one said that you couldn't emulate GC games. Wii games are a different story.

Not to mention, when GC emulation is still rather shit, you expect there to be decent Wii emulation, if any at all?

Total shullbit, everyone knows that even though some our next-gen consoles are as powerful as supercomputers anything can be emulated. In fact, I use the quarter-speed cap when I play Halo3 on my old Pentium II...

Seriously though, Wii emulation is something that you probably won't see for a good ten years.

Actually, I think it's getting there. If I get the quad-core computer I've been saving for, I'll be sure to show something.

N64 and Saturn emulators still have issues. Let alone Gamecube or Wii.

Heck, even Virtua Racing for Genesis wasn't emulated until recently. Since it used a unique chip.

Because we are in 1999 where companies still care about ROMs... Right.

We don't even have working Gamecube emulation yet.

That's what he's basing it on.

What interests me is why you declare something I say BS and proceed to make the same statement in the same paragraph...

knuck: As a matter of fact, Nintendo, with the whole Virtual Console thing, would have all motivation needed to crack down on the oldschool emulation scene again.

From looking at Wikipedia's description of the Wii's hardware, it might become emulatable given developers find ways to bypass whatever piracy protection/lockout measures were taken. I do however foresee a whole lot of problems with emulation of consoles that take up the "comparatively weak specialized parallel approach" - which will be the inevitable path to take for all vendors since improving individual clock speeds has pretty much reached a state of deadlock - of the Playstation series on consumer-grade electronics, since the emulation of hardware synchronization between multiple units in software comes at the price of an immense amount of overhead.

Yeah, but the PS2 is 8 years old now - and I think it's not reasonable to expect the progress home computers make in the next 8 years to be anything like the progress they made in the past 8.

You do realize that the hardware difference (cpu, gpu etc) between the Gamecube and the Wii is the same difference between a Pentium4 400mhz and a P4 800mhz, correct? The wii uses an 8 year old hardware as well.

AFAIK, the format for the games is changed for each new console, be it silghtly or massively. Which means that an all-new emulator needs to be written for each massively different game format.

Comparing the Wii to the Gamecube is like comparing the Gamecube to the N64.
