Thats it! It is time to get a Wii ----- C=64 games Come to Wii !!!!

[foleyjo]

Why wait PS3 already does it

[foleyjo]

Right so let me get this right

1- People with real C64's want to get a Wii so they can pay to emulate the C64 on it.

2- People want to get the Wii to pay to download C64 games when other systems (PC,PS3,Amiga,Xbox(not the 360),Dreamcast,GP2x,Various Mobile Phones) have free emulators available and the games are free.

3- People want to pay over £100 to get the wii to pay to download C64 games when they could spend up to £50  and get a MMCReplay or some kind of cable download C64 games for free and transfer them to a real C64 (which you can get for as little as £5)

People want to be ripped off :lol:

Argument 1 was saying if you have a c64 and want the C64 experience why pay to emulate it. Also a real C64 experience needs a keyboard datasette diskdrive and joySTICK.

2nd argument was pointing out that other systems already offer emulators.

3rd argument was that even on the C64 games can be obtained freely. someone else already pointed out that the price for downloading a game on the wii is more expensive than the game was in the first place.

Are you aware that you can get Joypads and Joysticks for your PC which can be used to play emulators. They are a lot cheaper than getting a Wii and a Wiimote

The cheapest popular console on the market at the moment is actually the PS2 which is still selling well. Theres also a version of Vice64 for the PS2.

If you want a real console experience then get the real console it will save you a lot of money.

If you want a Wii to play Wii games get a Wii. If you want a Wii just to play C64 games think is this really the best solution?

Im lucky enough to have a HD LCD TV with VGA input so even playing on my PC I have TV output rather than monitor.

Why do you think that a Wii will give you the same experience as a C64.

Also my point isnt that PC emulation is better my point is that C64 emulation (As well as other emulation) is already available for free on lots more computers and consoles which also have TV output.

So if you want a REAL Commodore experience get a Commodore.

If you want something to play emulators on the TV get into the GP2X and homebrew scene or look into emulators on other consoles.

If you dont understand why getting excited about paying for things you can get for free is strange then hey? Its your money

[foleyjo]

So you didnt answer my question and you didnt really understand.

You cant get the C64 experience on the Wii because you dont have the right peripherals. All you can do is enjoy the games that they allow you to play. Theres thousands of games for the C64 and so far you can play most of them on PS3 PS2 Amiga GP2X Dreamcast and XBox through your TV with a joystick. and Keyboard(GP2x not inc.)
Or you can play what is it 2 on the Wii.
Same with most 8 and 16 bit emulators.

Look I have most computers that I have emulators for and none of the games feel right except on that computer. All an emulator is for me is a way to save time setting things up. Which is why the GP2X is my emulating machine. So I know what Im talking about :lol:

I have no problem with what you spend your money on I just have a problem with you telling me the Wii is the best way to get the C64 experience and dont deny you said it.  :lol:

" I have a C64 which is a computer which uses keyboard and joystick but will probably get the best feeling playing C64 games on Wii a console without a Keyboard".

You will get the best feeling playing the games on your real C64. Get a Wii for Wii games man.

Oh and yes I am attacking the Virtual Console scene as its an attempt by Nintendo and Microsoft to cash in on the emulation scene. Why should they make loads of money out of something that bedroom coders have been doing for years for free (or donations)

When a Product is official, it seems more effort is put into them,

C'mon we all know thats not always true :lol: Thats why we have Patches!!

I think your being unfair to bedroom coders. I can name quite a few on the Gp2X scene who put a lot of effort into the emulators and then theres people who add to the frontend to make them look really good.

As for loading the games you just load an emulator and select the game and off you go.

c64 games on the Wii will be fun if you have a Wii. C64 games more fun on the Wii I dont believe. You need the keyboard and joystick. You need to type LOAD"*",8

The best C64 emulator is on the C128 :lol: .
