Huh. Thats kinda awesome.
That's how is the N64 VC on Wii U sadly.
Not as dark as the video show, but still grey white.
N64 games on Wii U look like that, well slightly brighter

Are they playing perfect dark?
That's far too dark for their VC so I don't think it's that. Lots of people on Youtube have been adding dark filters when uploading full episodes of TV shows and cartoons to avoid copyright strikes these days. The menu is even dark when it should be vibrant.
clever.

Those games are not available for purchase.
It's similar to Wii injecting roms in official releases.
In simple words, they took the "emulator" inside Zelda OoT, and inject a different rom.
Has you can see in the video they are using Zelda OoT as base, different bases support different games, there's not 100% compatibility (far from it), at least we could see alot of 1st party games.
And yeah, all is restricted to original releases, don't expect improvements. According the guys who made this, the method still buggy.
It's from a guy who has made previous ram tricks in Nintendoland, Mario Kart 8, and I believe SM3DW. Now if they were playing GoldenEye, or whatever non first party game, that would scream fakecyba89 said:
Wii U VC is really lackluster if you didn't know.

It's been incoming for months now. I've already got homebrew working on my Wii U via the browser.

Nice, wiiu could become a good emulation machine with cube and wii already covered.
So we can have AA and 1080p native
All it needs is retroarch. And it already has that on the vWii side!

But don't get too excited, nothing decent is out yet. Only a matter of time though, original release for the full exploit was planned for E3 time, but delayed due to the race attack being too unreliable

again, none of these machines could do that with dolphin. Too much overhead required.
Eventually, plus the Wii dolphin came out during the Wiis lifetime and could do it...

Ah, I see. What's the difference between Nintendo N64 games and 2nd/3rd party ones? A rom is a rom, right? Aside from glitches here and there and performance issues, depending on the rom? Not my field of expertise, so no idea, if I have the basics right...
And I may remember this wrong, but didn't the Wii method allow people to have a non official rom fixed on the home screen? That is not possible yet with this method, right?
Maybe with PS5/XB4. All the current consoles don't have the CPU brute force for it.
The Wii WAS a GameCube. With more RAM and a higher clockspeed.
Really.
And besides, the Wii U can play all GameCube games natively. That's better than what Dolphin can offer. I can play Timesplitters 2 right now, full speed, with real controllers via the GameCube controller adapter. On my beast of a PC, I can't play it in full speed via Dolphin.
Same for Rogue Leader. Runs flawlessly on my Wii U. And looks fantastic.

This. So much.
(I also need it on my N3DS, in the long run, I wish I could easily transfer saves between the two)

Would be more hyped if Conkers Bad Fur Day wasn't coming out next week.
This is still great though!

If this method actually supported the gamecube adapter. I would care. Otherwise, I'll leave my Wii U as it is so I can get that Smash DLC for tomorrow.
