Wii64/Mupen64GC News - N64 Emulator for Wii and Gamecube

sepp256 (http://emulatemii.com/wordpress/?p=100) has posted some news concerning the N64 Emulator for Wii and Gamecube:


We don’t really appreciate the negative comments on the site. It is obvious that there is a lot of anticipation for homebrew N64 emulation on the Wii/GC. Believe us when we say that we are equally excited to see Wii64 enter public beta stage. We have devoted a lot of our free time to this emulator for nearly two years, which is since the days before Wii homebrew was even possible. Many of you who are complaining are simply being impatient because you want to try something that you would only complain about more until we have worked more bugs out.

We have entered a private alpha stage, and we have made many improvements/bugfixes to the emulator in the last few weeks. However, there is still a substantial amount of work to do, and a couple of us are very busy with schoolwork right now. We won’t give any release dates, but we hope to be able to release a public beta as soon as possible. Please don’t ask for a release date or to beta test.

patience is a virtue ;)

Few people seem to realize what a feat of emulation this is (and the efforts involved). Nintendo's own emulator reveals that even they must have invested quite some time with game-specific tweaks.

Anything that isn't Zelda eventually hits some snags, their compatibility list is fairly low and they had all the inside info & development tools to create theirs.

It can be done & they might just amaze us all, but in the meantime - give 'em a break guys. :)
