Ok sort of new idea. I mentioned in that other topic that there should be a DS emulator for the Wii. The question is, how possible is this? I heard there was one for PSP so Wii should be doable. As for interface I explained how it would work in the other topic. Use the Classic Controller or GameCube controller as primary controller, and use the Wiimote to emulate the Stylus and use the A or B button on the Wiimote to emulate touching the screen. As for display, show one screen at a time fullscreen and alternate by pressing a button or have both onscreen at a smaller size. As for which emulator to port, I'd recommend No$GBA because its got more compatibility than any DS emulator on the market, but I don't know if its open source. But I guess if it was then there would be plenty of unofficial versions and would be working a lot better.http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,2268,2268#msg-2268Sat, 11 Jul 2026 04:51:29 +0200 Phorum 5.2.23 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,2268,2356#msg-2356 Re: Ok sort of new idea.http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,2268,2356#msg-2356 GoldenAlchemist Homebrew GeneralSun, 05 Oct 2008 05:44:55 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,2268,2328#msg-2328 Re: Ok sort of new idea.http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,2268,2328#msg-2328 HyperHacker Homebrew GeneralSat, 04 Oct 2008 07:28:14 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,2268,2316#msg-2316 Re: Ok sort of new idea.http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,2268,2316#msg-2316
It would be harder because supposedly some games for DS(i) will be played by having to use the camera.]]> Arikado Homebrew GeneralFri, 03 Oct 2008 20:13:25 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,2268,2305#msg-2305 Re: Ok sort of new idea.http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,2268,2305#msg-2305
@Arikado: Why would the DSi make emulating the DS harder? Emulating the DSi will require more work, but still emulating the DS will still be the same]]> whodares Homebrew GeneralFri, 03 Oct 2008 15:46:13 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,2268,2301#msg-2301 Re: Ok sort of new idea.http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,2268,2301#msg-2301

What about the mic?

Most games don't use the mic so thats a triviality.

A lot of very big name games do, though, so it'd be needed.

Also, pinball wizard, that rule varies depending on the system. Something with a crapload of chips(Like the Saturn) needs more power than something without(The PS1), provided the systems are overall matches, etc.]]> I.S.T.

Also, I would have thought drawing to one single display surface (that you will do on the Wii) will most like be more effecient than the two seperate displays on the DS. I may be wrong in that respect though

When the DS was released, I read that many games split the screens between the DS' two processors]]> daniel_c_w Homebrew GeneralThu, 02 Oct 2008 17:56:00 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,2268,2284#msg-2284 Re: Ok sort of new idea.http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,2268,2284#msg-2284 whodares Homebrew GeneralWed, 01 Oct 2008 23:02:50 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,2268,2282#msg-2282 Re: Ok sort of new idea.http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,2268,2282#msg-2282
The only (not really only, but easiest) way to make a quality emulator is to port a perfectly working one from the pc. It would be a little more work than most emulators, but its more than plausible. Hardest thing would be getting both screens running at once at a normal framerate.]]> Arikado Homebrew GeneralWed, 01 Oct 2008 22:37:51 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,2268,2278#msg-2278 Re: Ok sort of new idea.http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,2268,2278#msg-2278

You'd have to reverse engineer it. Most likely it'd be easier to write an emulator from scratch.]]> I.S.T. Homebrew GeneralWed, 01 Oct 2008 12:43:45 +0200 http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,2268,2268#msg-2268 Ok sort of new idea.http://forum.wiibrew.org/read.php?21,2268,2268#msg-2268
