Wii64 - Gamebrew

Wii64 (or Cube64) is an emulator that allows you to play Nintendo 64 games on the Wii and GameCube consoles. It is a port of the popular multi-OS N64 emulator, Mupen64, and utilizes the libOGC library.

The emulator uses dynamic recompilation to convert N64 machine code to PowerPC machine code and utilizes full hardware acceleration for graphics, resulting in mostly full-speed emulation. At this time, the emulator is in beta stage and can run many N64 ROMs at full speed in most cases.

• Emulation via Dynamic Recompiler & Pure Interpreter.
• Hardware Accelerated Graphics (glN64 ported to GX by sepp256).
• ROM Support up to 512MBit.
• Expansion Pak support.
• High Level PowerPC RSP.
• Interpolated Stereo Sound.
• Input via Gamecube & Classic Controller & Wiimote + Nunchuck.
• Configurable input combinations.
• DVD/USB/SDGecko/Front-SD ROM Loading.
• Native Saves.
• Save States.
• Rumble/Controller Pak Support.
• Progressive/Widescreen Resolution.
