Why system can play both Mario Kart and Super Mario Brothers?
I think both were ported to Wii IIRC. By Mario Kart, I'm assuming Mario Kart 64 and if Super Mario Bros (the original on NES).
It should work with the original Wii.
Legally?
tried it on my HTPC and the resolution sucked.
Please correct me if I am mistaken, but if you own the same and system, then the rom and emulator is no longer illegal, since it is consider a back up to your purchase. Assuming that the rom is EXACTLY the same as your physical cartridge, SAME code version, same region. Europe version are NOT US and then your are illegally playing the game. Everything must be apples to apples. I believe I read an article saying this back when planetemu.net went viral in the early 2000s, at the same time Napster was all over the news, and the media was in a copyrighting frenzy.
Hum, what was the problems you had with the emulators? I've had very successful results. I've played Mario Kart 64 in 4k using a retina macbook pro and I was blown away!
Yes, the Wii U is the way to go. It has the ability to play every Nintendo console game ever made, if you take the necessary actions to make GameCube games work within vWii.Originally Posted by dlewbell
As mentioned before, the SNES is an option, but if you want, a Wii U (which is bacwards compatible with an original Wii) will also work. Super Mario All-Stars was released on disk for the Wii, Super Mario Kart, is available on the Wii U virtual console, Mario Kart 64 is available on the Wii virtual console. Additionally, each mainline Mario game from the original Mario Bros (vs.) up through Super Mario 64 is available through the Wii U virtual console & all but the original vs. are available on Wii virtual console. If you share a TV, the bonus of being able to play on the Wii U gamepad while someone else uses the TV may make it worth having over the originals. If it were me, I'd go with the Wii U just for the added flexibility, but hunting down a working condition SNES & N64 might be worth it if you're also interested in some of the games that haven't been ported to modern consoles. There are quite a few good ones.
There's many official VC titles for NES, SNES, N64, Wii, DS and GBA. The others you can still run but through vWii mode (which still supports Wii Shop Genesis, TurboGrafx-16, Arcade, Neo-Geo, etc.) and for the more "adventurous" it's still possible to run Homebrew emulation.
honestly don't recall.
You have to dump the firmware needed to run the emulator from your console and the ROM from your cartridge, including any piracy protection (and leave it unaltered) otherwise emulation is illegal.
