XQEMU is the #1 platform for Barbie Horse Adventures

Yes I know, but I was talking about the graphics, most emulators in the early stages have big graphical glitches and run really slow.
But it was running really slow and there were graphical glitches on the floor..
TBH one of the great things about emulation for me, is the ability to keep playing my various games on just one platform, without having to keep 30 different ones hooked up.
It'd be great to be able to play Bayonetta 2 or Super Mario 3D world, without having to hook up and turn on the WiiU, in the future.
Then, rendering them at 4k would be icing on the cake.

Not too much there I want to play but good news I guess.
No, I mean something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhsyqaHvlXk where the whole/half screen is messed up.

PIKMIN 3 new dlc stages without a time limit so i can actually explore the levels...
And it would also mean my little brother could finally play these stages without the crazy short time limit.
Would the dlc work?

Why can't Nintendo give us that option :/?
Yep
I would be a lot more excited if it the surprise release of the day was a Playstation1 emulator running on WiiU

To the gamepad streaming is the real hurdle. Nintendo went with an quite expensive solution to archive low ping rates. Using a handheld that only supports N standard wouldn't be enough.
And selling that WiiU Gamepad doesn't fix that problem because every NX console would need to ship with that expensive streaming technology just for BC.
Hopefully never.

Is this more CPU or GPU dependent? Reason being that I've got an i7 3820 and a 980 ti, so if it's GPU dependent I'm all set but my CPU may be a slight bit under par since there hasn't been any optimizations yet. Most emulators are CPU dependent so I'm imagining that's probably the case here too but I'm just curious. Anyone getting a pretty decent experience with it? If so what kind of specs are you rockin?

Tell me how to dump the wii u games and I will tell you how they run on 980ti hyrbid sli
Holy bajesus! Respect for that rig man, that's some 4k demolishing gear. Color me jelly.
Because that would make sense
How would you do it without a WiiU to rip games with, though?

I don't see why their next handheld couldn't be used to emulate the gamepad.
I seriously doubt that.
Buy the game and download a rip.
That's ilegal in many countries.

So is circumventing copy protections and encryption keys that allows you to rip your games and play them on emulators, what's your point?

Nope, PS3 and 360 emulators already exist.

Be happy it exists, guys, but Don't be too excited.
This is a closed source passion project for a very small team. So it could dissapear/cease development at any time.
Oh, and Gamepad streaming is physically impossible due to the gamepad requiring a deprecated wifi timing system that only worked on like, 3 models of network adapter, and even then only on linux because you had to hack the kernel.
So there's that.

Take Bayonetta 1 sales, subtract Bayonetta 2 sales, see how large that pool is of people who may be interested in Bayonetta 2 that cant give a shit about the WiiU.
I'm not claiming it's as simple, but it's not hard to see there are a bunch of people who want to play B2 without having to get the hardware
You're not a fan if you didn't buy a doa console guys, heard it here first
Wow. Thats depressing.
I guess you could output the Gamepads screen into another window or like how DS emulators output two screens.

This post deserves more love, well played sir!
That many people won't feel comfortable using something if there's not a legit way to do it.

Just think, if this wasn't released, all of those people who wanted to play Bayonetta 2 but didn't want to buy a Wii U would have turned into this:
That is probably the way to do it, seeing as the gamepad doesn't seem to render anything by itself. AFAIK it is merely sending the content of the framebuffer via wifi to the pad.
It is a lesser problem, the pad isn't critical to games in the vast majority of cases.
Still not an ideal solution for some games that use the gyros in tandem with the second screen display, like the upcoming Fatal Frame title and a decent chunk of Nintendo Land. It's going to be tricky getting everything to work as it already does on the Wii U.

I know I just thought it was a bit silly being excited at an emulator that by its very nature requires you to circumvent copy protections and encryption keys but then saying downloading a rip is bad.
