wiisports emulation

was just an example

i hate to jump in late in the discussion but imo there is nothing (apart from the lack of info) stopping people from writing a proof of concept emulator. As hardware progresses the emulator will slowly become faster and faster, but if you take in to account the amount of time it will take to code, that will more than likely close the gap a bit. Its just like PS2 emulation, current hardware can struggle to emulate it well altho a great deal better than 5-7 years ago, but over the 5 years PCSX2 has been in development, hardware has caught up a bit, so now modern hardware can run quite a lot of games at full speed.

But as i say, a start can only be made when sufficient information is available and when you can homebrew stuff on the wii allowing you to reverse engineer.

I just dont see the point in arguing over current hardware not being able to run the Wii's hardware in a decent emulated speed cos unless you can write the emulator overnight, current generation hardware is pretty irrelivant

good point ref! every application has a beginning.... and if nobody starts... then we´ll never see anything..

i also agree with you... with the time hardware get better and better and this will give more hope and results..

i have some information about the Wii hardware, GPU, CPU etc.. and emulate Wii sports will not be a big challange... but the biggest one will be to sync the wiimote or any other controller to work with it. i think this will be the biggest challenge for us.

Using GlovePIE you can all ready use the Wii-Mote in pretty much every way you want (making actions = button press's, etc) you can use it as a steering wheel, I use it in OOT in PJ64 when you slash the controller, it attacks. Again I will quote I have little experience with console emulation (Chip8 ftw) but if GlovePIE can do this, I wouldnt think that would be the hardest part, or am I barking up the wrong tree?

i think you missunderstood me... i din´t say it will be hard to emulate... i say it will be hard to syncronize at the emulation speeds somebody can get at the beginning..
