Re: Are the Nintendo's Virtual Console emulators from Nintendo?
10/23/14 05:13 PM


I would almost guarantee that the emulators are Nintendo's own doing, the reason why you would see such a common error is because I'm sure even Nintendo themselves are doing HLE, there's no way in hell to do low-level N64 emulation on a Wii or Wii U. Every N64 emulator would have the issue you describe because every "emulator" is largely a hack-job that doesn't really deserve to be called emulation since it doesn't actually emulate the GPU or vector coprocessor.

Keep in mind, Nintendo have been doing N64 emulation since the Wind Waker days, I'm sure I'm not the only person who bought the special edition that came with an emulated version of Ocarina of Time.

Basically, you're being paranoid. The low quality of the N64 emulation is because N64 emulation quite simply is low quality, period, when it's done using HLE techniques, and that's the only technique that will get something running full-speed on a Wii. Why do you think Nintendo are so highly selective in what N64 games they've released on Virtual Console?
