WII, GameCube & PS2 Emulation Topic

I just found out that WII and GameCube can be emulated perfectly well on OSX and current PC systems. I just got Zelda Wind Walker running at some awesome frame rate. Twilight Princess runs too but I was not able to setup the controls yet. So my question is what games are worth getting for these systems and did you get a WIIRemote emulation running or do I need to buy a WIIRemote now and run it via USB?

What games are worth it on WII, GameCube and PS2? I only have a blurry idea what has been released on these plattforms

Here is Zelda Wind Waker running on OSX:

I'm afraid my videocard will not accept this.

You're going to need a wiimote. Small price to pay though, considering....

A friend of mine just told me I should use 2 tea-lights in front of the screen as receptor for the wiimote. Some games have been ported to GameCube so they can be played without wiimote but I have no idea which ones and whats worth getting...

I've never played it myself but I hear Eternal Darkness is very good

also, RE4

off the top my head,for GC Id recommend 100%:

• Resident Evil 0,1 & 4(the other ones werent remade so graphics are not so good, but great games anyway)
  
• Killer 7
  
• Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: rogue leader
  
• Eternal Darkness(play it while stoned.alone in the dark.fucking classic)
  
• Paper Mario
  
• Robotech:battlecry
  
• the Zelda pack which includes ocarina of time and majora's mask and the first two nintendo games
  
• Animal crossing

Well, I have no idea about tea lights. I don't think you could actually play a game with em.... Maybe navigate menus,,,,

TIMESPLITTERS 2!!!

What model of Mac are you running it on, and what's the framerate - 90%, lower?

anyone remember ultraHLE?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UltraHLE

I just started being able to emulate these systems properly at 100% thanks to my new graphics card. (well not new, but better than my old one at least)

Unfortunately I don't really know of any good single player GC games other than the ones mentioned though.

Wii: Animal Crossing: City Folk, Muscle March, and DKC Returns

PS2: Katamari Damaci, We Love Katamari, Parappa 2, and Chulip

The Wii ones I mentioned are just fun, but you could probably live without. The PS2 games on the other hand are ALL amazing and must-plays.

Could google, but which emulators should I get for my pc for both wii & cube?

what about Wii games that don't use the wii mote to actually play with. You cant just use a mouse to navigate the menus ?

2.7 GHz Intel Core i5

its 100% most of the time at 4x Native (2560x2112)

if you are just pirating anyways grab the metroid prime trilogy version of metroid prime.

it's all three games set to work with wiimote. BEST CONSOLE FPS i have ever played ever.

So my MBP (late 2011) should be able to run it fine... it's a 2.3 i5. I've heard unless it has a dedicated video card (mine does not), it doesn't run well - I'm assuming yours is an iMac, right?

What emulator did you use - Dolphin?

Me too, it seemed to arrive completely out of the blue and was reported in an April edition of PC Zone (Not sure if it's just a UK thing but in April you get a lot of fake stuff in the press thanks to April's Fools Day). When a friend of mine at school had a copy along with Mario & Zelda I had to give it a go and was completely outstanded (Is that not a word, Chrome doesn't think so) to have it working nigh-on perfectly on my computer.

yeah it should work well. You can even go down in resolution quite a bit and it still looks pretty much the same even more so on a smaller screen.

I did only try dolphin so far yes

I'm in the same boat as JR,

going to try Pikmin 2 shortly :w00t: :w00t:
