Wii64 Port to PS3 Update


Submitted by greg; September 25, 2011
I know a lot of you are probably wondering what's up with this N64 emulator for PS3. So for what it's worth the Wii64 Team has published an update with their current status. And if you don't know the team has obviously been working on porting their Nintendo 64 emulator -- Wii64 -- to the PS3; however, more work remains with respect to the dynarec. Quote:
The Wii64 port to PS3 now has a near-complete hardware renderer since our last post. However, the dynarec needs some work to run on a 64bit PPC architecture. The Pure Interpreter core has little (if any) performance increase over the Wii running the same core, so PS364 really needs the dynarec.
FYI: We covered their last post here. If you're interested in Wii64 for other platforms, namely the Nintendo Wii and GameCube, then visit the source link below. Wii64 is a port of Mupen64. - source: emulatemii Thanks to Zphynx for the email.

Yes. Potentially. They got it working on Wii, so maybe they will get it working on PS3.
See the screenshots and the source article!

Oh Greg, I love how I'll visit other PS3 news sites and see identical articles, yet I come here and see ones I haven't seen anywhere else. You'd think an update to Wii64 for PS3 would splash all over the internet, but nope. Thank the internet gods for you! I love you <3 platonically!
