Wii64

@cuber
So it would play like the original game

unfortunately, Nintendo fails to realize that while we love the games being like the original, we will definitely love it even more with framerate improvements.

Hopefully Wii64 will change that.

I wonder if the old version of the .wad is floating around the intarblag somewhere....

Someone should e-mail the project owners to see how far along they are with this. And also to see if we can get a new release soon.

That's pretty, lame...

It's like PAL VC is in 50Hz

So... when is the next version going to be released?

When its done.

I thought they said that the next version already has faster framerate, and they just wouldn't release it because the classic controller was broken?

Sound is also broken right now, I believe.

the sound was always broken

Try e-mailing the project members for release info.

Wii64 or Starfox64?

I still have the first Lylat Wars (PAL Starfox64) on my Wii. Never updated it.

Starfox64.

May be old news but I just came across this from emukidid: Wii64 svn370

you wait until now to tell me this?! Why doesn't he release a beta version?

I only just found out myself. I have know idea why he doesn't release a beta version. Also that video was posted on June 8th. Think of what the latest build must look like now *drools*

EDIT: His e-mail address is on the googlecode page. Send him a message asking why.

EDIT2: Plus this 370 and we can still only download 300.

I hope this one gets ready soon.

I wants my Zeldas and Banjos on my Wii. TT_TT

Maybe they're not actively working on it. Look at this video of a psx emulator on wii by the same wii64 team. This video just got posted on september 8th: wiisx (psx emulator)

Anyways, I took a look through the source today. Here are my findings: They're on 417 as of October 4th. Whats taking so long is dynarec: A dynamic recompilation tool that allows full speed emulation by breaking down the ROM and then rebuilding (recompiling) it as Wii code to run at full speed. Right now, games can only be run using an interpreter: A tool that takes each line of N64 code and converts it to Wii code as it comes up.

I guess the games can be run pretty fast right now (judging by the video and what I saw in the source), but not fast enough that its worth releasing right now. I hope that clears everyone up a bit.
