Has anyone considered porting one of the VB emulators to the Wii via the HBC? How fantastic would that be? πŸ™‚

I’ve seen tons of emulators for other systems there, but no VB. I am curious if anyone has ever tried to compile for whatever kind of architecture the Wii provides.

I’d be glad to test out any such effort! πŸ˜€ Of course, controllers would be an issue…maybe the GC controller? I’ve never tried a Classic Controller to know how it is laid out.

Just a thought!

Someone mentioned porting Mednafen to Gamecube/Wii recently, I believe… Porting that app would certainly pass the VB support onto Wii, too. πŸ™‚

In the meantime, maybe running Wii Linux and compiling Mednafen in there works?

The Wiimote would probably work out. I mean, heck, the N64 emulator for that thing has all the buttons used (with nunchuck).

(Not that I think they’ll ever get anywhere with it… But, I wish them the best ;-))

Well, considering how updates just completely stalled at some point… Probably not. Porting Mednafen would probably be easier and more compatible right from the start, anyway.
