basilbr Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 So a little while ago there was donkey kong country 2 decrypted. Now though that VC game and few others are turning up as wad files that are installable to the Wii menu. The programs that allow this are out there too, so it may not be long before we see every VC game available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tynvar Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 (edited) How is it done though? I think it will be patched soon. Most Ive seen are PAL anyways Edited April 23, 2008 by Tynvar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olaf Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Now to reverse engineer the emulator! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tynvar Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 From the size of the files I'm guessing each file comes with an emu. Unless the manual files are huge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olaf Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 From the size of the files I'm guessing each file comes with an emu. Unless the manual files are huge.The manual files are just plain HTML as we've recently discovered, so no... that's not why it's huge. Hopefully, they include a "general" emulator that emulates the entire hardware not just the specifics on a per-game basis... which would be ignorant. So, I guess it's safe to say that it probably includes an all purpose emulator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tynvar Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I wonder what happens if you take the hacked wad then replace the pal rom file within it with an ntsc rom for the same game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olaf Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I wonder what happens if you take the hacked wad then replace the pal rom file within it with an ntsc rom for the same game?Pretty pointless. BUT... timing issues, may not even start up, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tynvar Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 But the rom has that info not the other files right. Someone said it was the same as the roms on the net byte by byte right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olaf Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Yes, that is correct. But there's no telling if the "emulator" packed in with the ROM is only set for NTSC or PAL games as well... I guess we'll find out in the coming weeks (days?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
