Since the launch of the Wii Homebrew Channel is a phenomenal achievement for the Wii homebrew scene, it’s only right other developers have cause to celebrate in their own ways.
In honor of the launch, developers tehpola, sepp256, and emu_kidid have released Wii64, a Nintendo 64 emulator for the Wii.
The N64 seems to be popular these days; developer Wally also released a beta of the Daedalus R14 for the PSP – the platform’s own N64 homebrew emulator.
Reports say that the emulator is still slow, and there’s still a lot of graphical issues, but nevertheless this is still great progress. Hopefully we’ll get to see a fully working version in the near future. Here are the developer’s notes:
