      ​@Windo0ows Eh
      From what I remember, not counting the official Virtual Console, as each game had its own fine-tuned emulation profile, N64 emulation was pretty iffy on Wii 64. Even a Raspberry Pi 4, a weaker system, handled N64 better in 720p if configured properly
      And Nintendo DS emulation was just garbage, with I think WarioWare: Touch and Yoshi's Island DS being the games that ran the best
      But it's been years since I've touched my modded Wii (probably 2016 or 2017), so it's possible that those emulators improved since then

    When AAA companies can't deliver you modern games, go back to the old ones. I always find people wanting to go back to the roots, there's only one real way to do it and that is emulation, Nintendo needs to know that more than anybody else, cuz when you try to strip the copies of your games that you hold so dear but yet don't do anything with them for 25 years. People aren't going to really rely on you creating something that will satisfy their needs. That's why emulation probably the best thing to get no matter how you do it. Either stationery, portable or as interface as a network. Either way, long as you enjoy yourself
