Here's a full tutorial and guide on homebrewing your Nintendo Wii console! I decided to make this because I've had one of these sitting around and have been.


Torrent make video converter. Port of the popular multi-OS N64 emulator, Mupen64, to the Nintendo Wii and Gamecube through the libOGC library. The emulator uses dynamic recompilation of the N64 machine code to PowerPC machine code and full hardware accelerated graphics to achieve (mostly) full speed emulation. Currently the emulator is in beta stage and can run many N64 ROMs at full speed in most cases.

Progress & Updates

Check out http://www.emulatemii.com for the latest news on the progress of this emulator, featuring regular updates and in-depth technical posts on the progress and current features. If you like this emulator, please donate and support the team!

Not64

Not64 is an 'experimental modification' of Wii64. It forked from the 'Beta 1.1 'Honey' version and includes several fixes and additions.

Further Information

The emulator can be controlled with any combination of GC controllers, Classic Controllers, Wiimotes with Nunchuks and even just Wiimotes. See the included readme for details on the controls. You can load ROMs and saves from a FAT formatted SD or USB (details on the folders required are in the readme).

Developers

We don't want to discourage other people forking and working on the emulator; however, any unofficial builds must not be called 'Wii64' or 'Cube64' nor use the Wii64 or Cube64 logo in order to avoid confusion. For now, we're just releasing a snapshot of the source used to build Beta 1.1, but we're planning on updating the public repository with each commit we've made to our private repository so that everyone can see the progression of the code. This process will begin soon.
