Awesome!!
It was the last thing the wii needed to play gamecube game in a confortable way.

That seems counter-intuitive for the controllers that are actually analog. I hope there is a fix some time soon.

With comparably worse compatibility.
Not everyone has a high-end PC or wants to plug in his or her PC to their television. Just saying.
How does it work?
And? Not everyone can afford a high-end pc.

Classic Controller support will be great to use an actual dpad for Megaman collection and Viewtiful Joe.

I like what I'm hearing. Would a homebrew circumvention of the region lock on WiiU be far behind?
Probably not, because this is a Wii exploit, right?

I would recomend ModMii http://gbatemp.net/threads/modmii-for-windows-official-support-topic.207126/

It's...great?
Thanks, I'll look into it.
Er, is there anything for Mac? As far as I can tell ModMii is Windows only
And for many people it may be a better alternative. Why is everyone acting so defensive?
I don't know about "high-end"; the requirements are fairly modest. The PC I had back in 2008 was sufficient to run games at 1080p.
I wouldn't consider it the better alternative with the current compatibility.

All this is doing is inconveniencing people with legit GC games who don't own a Wii. People who want to pirate GC games have already done so and will continue doing so.
Ironic how the modding community is now imposing pointless restrictions to prevent piracy. Sounds familiar.
First thing I thought of.
Well Devolution runs on official IOS, you just need an HBCd Wii with GCN compatibility (the ones with GCN sockets), CleanRip to rip your GCN games 1:1, GCMM+ to make a virtual memory card. And of course Devolution r200.
OK, I think I can handle this on my own.
Also, from this bit in the OP:
This doesn't mean making the games natively 16:9 and it just stretches them... right?
If you want your games to work perfectly with no glitches of any kind, then it isn't great. Especially when it comes to Gamecube games.
You need a GCN compatible Wii to rip your games, no other way.

Now if someone can find a way to have off-tv play on the gamepad for all wii and gc games, that would make me instant purchase wiiU.

Now THAT'S impressive. That's the first emulation of its kind I've ever seen.
Rogue Squadron 2, the one game which would look absolutely AMAZING with an internal upres, is almost completely gimped. Damn Factor 5 and your technical wizardry. Their entire back catalog is almost impossible to emulate properly *sigh*
when ripping GC games, does it need to be an NTFS HDD?
So ... if I use this homebrew than after that I can use a PS3 controller to play smash bros or mario kart ?
Or it will not be seen as a classic controller ?
bah I'm out.
Oh wow. Maybe it'll make CoD4 playable with the PS3 controller.
Cue me running from the waggle crowd, sorry not for me.
CoD4 Reflex was the best version in terms of controls
It's actually SUCH an annoying extra step. I get that they're trying to mitigate piracy, but it's such a monumental effort for legitimate users it's almost not worth it save for a handful of games
I, uh, don't think this is working. After I launched a game, my disc drive led light has been flashing for a few minutes but I still have a black screen. Halp?
EDIT - Oh, you actually have to have the disc in the drive when you launch the game? Fuck, the readme instructions are too confusing.

Read the instructions at GBATemp. You need to verify the game with an actual retail disc. Which you can only do on a regular Wii as I don't believe the Wii U can read the GCN's minidiscs.
The current compatibility is pretty damned great.
Sure, like most everything in the world - there are trad offs.
If you want the best of everything always, then get a WiiU and a beefy PC so you have the choice.
But for a lot of people, Dolphin is more than sufficient and with a little tweaking plenty of games work really well and look much nicer than being played vanilla.
No one is saying Dolphin is a perfect alternative, but it's pretty damned great. Especially for the things you can do with Dolphin that aren't possible with actual hardware (3D support, free camera, SSAA, etc etc)
What have they done to FFXIV!?

Hackers do what Nintendon't

So, can you force GC games into true 16:9 mode with this? I think I read something about that in the GBAtemp thread. That would be amazing if so.
Finally!
Ughhhh Wii U has become the new console of the forever with Unlimited Retro via homebrew emus, Wii games... and now GC...

Wii U, instabuy!!
F*** the VC. Nintendo can really kiss my ass for that one. Such poor support and half assed backing on a great concept.
