Its on the svn but its worthless unless you know how to compile it and you want to just use an ngc controller cus the new libogc broke the classic controller controls

Didn't you fix the classic controller in your unofficial version? Will this new official version have fixed the bug that it had when you compiled it that almost broke my wii? I just want to make sure that this new version is going to be safe because last time someone said they were in the middle of implementing some stuff that could damage your wii.

All I want is a solid N64 emulator. I know that Mupen64 is very network extensive. However, I wouldn't mind if they got rid of the networking to bring us a good emulator. And then later updated Wii64 with networking capabilities.

Most of my friends can come to living room to revisit split-screen Goldeneye. So, if it speeds up the process, I wouldn't mind if networking is ommited from the initial release of Wii64. I'm really just looking for something that works like it did in the past.

especially since Goldeneye will probably never make it to the virtual console (http://www.vc-reviews.com/news/2008/08/goldeneye_locked_in_legal_limbo) otherwise I would have just bought it so I could have perfect game play.

Yeah, no chance of Perfect Dark either.

Splitscreen Mario Kart 64 was my other favorite.

ive heard stuff about a new version with dvd support coming out, do you guys know when to expect that or if this update will speed up the emulator and fix graphical issues?

It's already out. Read this topic for more info.

did it fix any graphical errors or speed it up?

No, just added dvd support and broke classic controller support.

feh. Why not project 64?

ya project 64 is pretty awsome.

Yes, PJ64 runs well, but apparently it is too specific to PCs to port it to the wii.

I hope somebody out there is working on this. I don't know much about making emulators. How does Nintendo themselves get the N64 games on the VC to run well? I hope that isn't to stupid a question, I really have no idea. I hope that the homebrew scene for the wii takes off.

They don't. Every VC game comes with a different emulator designed specifically to fit that game. This is increasingly evident in Starfox 64. When it was first released, the game went normal speed in areas where it would slow down on the N64. Nintendo later updated it to make it slow down the framerate in areas with excessive polygons. Also, if you inject Mario Party into a certain VC WAD, it goes 10x the normal framerate.

EDIT: Before any misunderstandings happen, I do NOT support piracy.

EDITEDIT: by piracy, I mean emulating oldschool games that have already been released on the VC.

That explains why vc downloads are so large.

I'm certain that they will wait until a large amount of games are compatible until even thinking about network support. But merely leaving out the network code isn't going to magically make the core run faster.
You don't have to worry, they're not going to mess around with less important features and neglect making it run better.

I think he means to stop focusing on network play and try to make it faster first. It's called priorities.

Thats exactly what I meant!

Yes I know, that's why I wrote this part:
