i play n64 using my 360 controller and in 1920 x 1080 with AA and some texture filtering. Looks better than original, but it is still low res textures being displayed in a higher resolution.
And i though u could always set the resolution for all emulators...since like....forever
What The Wii HD Might Look Like
I definitely think that if Wii Motionplus works as well as I'm hoping it will, and Nintendo updates the graphics enough for their next console, as to compete with the other new consoles that microsfot and Sony will inevitibly be releasing, then nintendo could make a really great console for the next generation...
" Yeah, the Dolphin videos look good. Check out the SSBB ones. Be sure to click HD.Wow, looking at that video and how it actually looks on the Wii right now is just a wow. It's not the best, but it's well better than it is right now.Dolphin was the original code name for the Gamecube (like Wii was Revolution). Dolphin Emu is a Gamecube emulator that eventually gained Wii support (since the two systems are so similar). Too bad like the only game with a dolphin in it was Wave Race Blue Storm, and that game ate balls in comparison to Wave Race 64. "
" lmao at Alexander being a massive Wii fanboy, every topic I see him in where somebody says anything bad about the Wii he attacks them for the rest of the topic. "Lmao @ you twice as much!!!!11 Really contrsuctive there, if only you knew what effect my "fanboysm" had. I'll just say that the guy I "fanboyed" is a much more sensible character than the likes of you and leave it at that, ignoring future personal attacks in here... Keep at your little crusade though, whatever works for you. Even so, I was so right to say they're not the ones that are bound to get flamed, so very, very right xD

" @CL60: Pot. Meet Kettle. "Who are you? I've never even seen you before. And no, every single topic Alexander posts in he eventually ends up getting into a flame war with somebody for stupid reasons. Such as somebody says they don't like the Wii and he goes ape on them.
No, it's not. The entire system would need a complete upgrade, the CPU, graphics chip, everything.
This concept is not new at all, I don't see why it's such a big dealio for the Wii, PS1 games have been running in higher resolutions for years. Newsflash people, 3D applications resolutions are not set in stone and can be changed anytime. It's just the commercial releases are locked into whatever the console can handle, and if the Wii had been an HD machine I guarantee it would not be nearly as succesfull.
" @GunnBjorn: No, it's not. The entire system would need a complete upgrade, the CPU, graphics chip, everything."Nope, not really. A theoretical 720p Wii output is hindered by the small framebuffer size of 2mb; in theory, you could make the Wii ouput 720p, but that would require software tiling and make it extremely slow. The PS2, while technically superior to the Wii, has double the framebuffer size, and could do that. That's why there are actually 720p PS2 games out there, sacrificing half the FPS for double res images in the framebuffer.
Making a Wii with 720p output would require minimal modifications: The hollywood gpu must support hardware tiling, and/or the framebuffer size must be upped.
"@TheHBK said:" But what the fuck is the point of this anyway? Would Wii games in 720p or 1080p since the games would just need a boost in resolution, really make you turn your Wii on more often? Lets not forget that this is still the Wii and that games like the Conduit wont play better in 720p. "I agree with this guy. Upping the resolution will not change the mind of the obnoxios people that complain about the console's library they have no idea or image of."
Yeah, because everyone who doesn't like most of the Wii's lineup is obnoxious....oh wait....
Of course, I'm not saying any acceptable software solution is possible. There isn't. A Wii HD would require hardware modifications and a restructuring. But it's not (as you made it sound, on purpose or not) like the current hardware wouldn't be up to it; it's the setup and a few details, not weak hardware.
With an unexpensive little tweak on the Hollywood, the Wii would probably be able to output 720p; it's got the power. But it would probably mess up a lot of things, especially the Gamecube compatibility and the developing.
In a way I felt boned by Nintendo's decision to remain in the past when it came to visuals.
As a fan of sorts I really wanted to see Zelda and Mario with next-gen graphics;
and now I fear it might never happen.
Sure they'll eventually go into the HD gaming,
but I don't know how much game there will be left in Nintendo
considering what seems to be their current target audience.
.. these problems totally matter!
it looks pretty cool. it got me kind of thinking what if the wii was in HD. it would have looked a lot better. i think nintendo didn't put it in HD because a lot of people don't have HD tvs yet. i have to say that they should have made it at least like 480p or something like that so the games can be in SD and HD.
C'mon guys, don't post shit like this. It serves no purpose other than to bring an emulator to peoples attention. Booooo.
Also, man, the emulated version looks like total shit. Just buy a fuckin wii, you cheap bastards.
And what the hell is with the 4.5? If Mario Galaxy is a 4.5 Wii game, what in God's name is a 5???
" i have to say that they should have made it at least like 480p or something like that so the games can be in SD and HD. "The wii does run games in 480p. That's not HD though, it's ED (enhanced definition).
480i = standard def, 30 frames per second max
480p = standard def but max at 60 frames per second.

However, the Wii is still a fun console with games like RE 4 and Legend of Zelda: TP. As he said, to each his own. "" The problem with Wii HD is the Wii part. Its still a system with a bad controller and nothing but garbage for games to play on it. Oh well. each their own i guess. "And that is why you fail. This post is stupid. "
