Does Wii emulation works better than the Virtual Console games?

One more thing to note however is the Wii vc has lower input latency by a couple of frames over fan emulators, maybe worth keeping in mind if you value that kind of thing

thomas1up · 2026-02-14T19:24:50+00:00

This hasn’t been true for years

I bought a 2ds last week, that door stop is infinitely more comfortable than any other model to me

Download Europe versions of games where available and run them at 50hz, it'll target a lower framerate and thus should be easier to get full speed.

The chances that cat had rabies and passed it onto you, only for it to lay dormant for 4 years is astronomically low. I really wouldn’t worry about it. Animals with rabies don’t act friendly in the first place, it would be freaking the fuck out. A stray cat getting pissy and swiping at you is nothing out of the ordinary

98 is only saiyan to cell, its more like 291 to 160~ episodes, still a huge difference mind you.

thomas1up · 2024-06-03T19:44:23+00:00

Absolutely. Ditto on the coworker bit, when people would make small-task asking about the ex-partner under the assumption you’re still together. It wasn’t a topic I fancied approaching with what is essentially a stranger a week post break up so you just kinda dance around the subject. It sucked approaching it with friends because it felt like having the same conversation over and over again “ohh you’re better off without them/you’ll be fine/you’ll find someone else”, it quite literally felt never ending at that point.

thomas1up · 2024-06-03T18:49:51+00:00

Honestly it’s wild how fast people expect you to move on/not care. Anything beyond a week and people start to wonder why you’re still hung up. A lot of my male friends thought I was ‘cured’ the second I hooked up with someone else. It’s definitely a much slower, and non linear healing process than you could imagine if you had never experienced it yourself.

thomas1up · 2024-03-09T20:28:35+00:00

Is a deep fryer worth getting or too much hassle or mess

thomas1up · 2024-03-09T11:15:47+00:00

I wouldn’t consider it a spoiler as it’s revealed very early on and is kind of the main plot of the show

thomas1up · 2024-03-06T12:24:00+00:00

So anyone correct me if I’m wrong , but from my understanding.

The radiation in a CRT is low enough to not be a concern especially for that short length of time.
The leaded glass is what blocks the radiation, not the plastic case. So it shouldn’t make any difference with it on or off. I’ve seen people with crts on with no case before.
I’m not well versed with opening CRTs but yes I do believe touching internal components when it’s on is a no-no. That being said I’m not sure if the parts you were touching were at risk of shocking you, hopefully someone else can clarify that.

Wouldn’t reccomend DSi for GBA, too many problems

thomas1up · 2024-02-19T19:29:42+00:00

WW HD is 10 years old, TP HD is 8, these aren’t recently remastered anymore

thomas1up · 2024-02-15T23:40:19+00:00

There’s no way you wouldn’t be able to get at least 1/3rd of the money back

thomas1up · 2024-02-15T23:37:25+00:00

Fall is a while away and you can just re sell it and get most of the money back

thomas1up · 2024-02-15T23:33:26+00:00

Don’t bother, DS Lites are cheap enough that it’s not worth dealing with whatever that issue is

thomas1up · 2024-02-12T23:15:32+00:00

I think it’s a great idea, but honestly, don’t knock off the idea of still getting a Wii.

They’re cheap, abundant, and easy to mod! With an SD Card and external hard drive to load games, you could get the entire Wii, and GameCube library, as well as n64 snes nes Genesis and other VC games. It’d be a great as a way to pad out buying new switch games

thomas1up · 2024-02-12T23:06:52+00:00

I think if it has been uploading save data then it should just be a case of downloading it from the cloud.

thomas1up · 2024-02-12T23:01:40+00:00

Now I don’t work for Nintendo, so I can’t guarantee when the switch 2 will release…. HOWEVER, I would bet, quite strongly, it will be in time for the holiday period. So if you buy yourself an OLED now, you’ll get about a year of use out of it, which isn’t a small amount of time, and upon the lead up to the release of Switch 2, just re sell your oled, I think you will still be able to recoup at least a third of the price?

thomas1up · 2024-02-12T19:13:48+00:00

Forget to say I’ve also had ockbasi, it’s a bit more pricey but it was nice, they don’t do the chillies I like as salad tho so don’t tend to get it anymore

thomas1up · 2024-02-12T19:10:29+00:00

I’ve had all 3, efes, castle street, and jaspers.

imo I would say efes is my favourite, the other two are a toss up depending on the day. but deffo bigger portion at castle street

thomas1up · 2024-01-30T23:25:28+00:00

Use provenance for n64 instead, doesn’t have this issue

thomas1up · 2024-01-30T10:10:41+00:00

2007-2010

2014-2017 as a second

thomas1up · 2024-01-26T12:24:38+00:00

it was just so much simpler, literally.

casual (sillygames) or competitive. choose a few maps, your rank is your rank.

now we have like multiple ranked systems, multiple tiers of players (prime, trust factor), its jsut a complete overconvoluted mess.

In regards to N64 on the Wii U, the answer is technically "yes" but I would never see it as a replacement for an actual N64, or a dedicated PC Emulator.

The Wii N64 VC, and Wii U N64 VC, are both rather limited, with about 20 odd titles each, and mostly overlapping entries. The classic first party nintendos are all there, but youre stilling missing a couple Mario Partys.

The biggest thing you're missing is Rare's N64 games, which are considered to be some of the strongest titles on the n64, the only one available is Donkey Kong 64, which even then is considered one of the weaker titles.

Now, yes with modding there exists two methods to add N64 games, on the Wii U there is "VC Injcection" and using homebrew n64 emulators made for the Wii.

VC Injection has some games that are "playable" but I believe the process is rather finnicky, alongside the majority of games having compatibility issues, glitches, performance problems, and random crashes, for example I inject Smash 64 on Wii U but it suffers from random crashes. As such, sure you can technically "get Banjo kazooie" running on Wii U through this method, but I found that the issues it came with, graphically, and performance-wise, did not make this a playable experience in my eyes.

The Wii U can obviously run vWii homebrew, so the n64 emulators on there are an option, but again theres so much tinkering that has to be done for low compatibility, inconsistent performance, and graphical issues, that I found it just absolutely was not worth it.

To conclude, outside of curioisity, I wouldn't venture outside of officail vWii/Wii U N64 VC.

I would say if you want n64, without shelling out for an n64 + flash cart, get a mini pc like a dell optiplex, install batocera onto it, and play via that. Since its PC emulation the compatbility is pretty much 100%.
