Newbee needs help

[Aeon]

Hi folks!

I'am totally new to this and have a bunch of questions:

1) Does my computer pass the system requirements? I'am well aware that there is actually a thread dealing with this particular problem. Nonetheless I'am trying to concentrate my various questions in one thread. Please bear with me.

- AMD II X3 450@3.2 GHz

- 4 GB RAM

- GTX 470

2) As far as I understand I need a bluetooth adapter, a Wii Remote and a sensor bar. Anything else?

3) Is there any significant difference in terms of gaming experience between the Wii and the emulator - except the graphics?

4) Are there certain games I can't play with the emulator? I read about some speed issues with the emulator. Are the games running slower on the pc, and if so, is that annoying?


Thanks in advance!

Games will achieve different speed depending on your hardware (especially CPU). You won't run all fullspeed just by meeting the minimum requirements, only some. Your CPU will have slowdowns in many intensive games.

You will need a nunchuck/motion plus extension for some games. (If you want to use the wiimote.)

Some differences from Wii/Dolphin are savestates, frame advance/dumping, support for various controllers, (joypads, iPhone), AR/gecko codes (can be used on modded wiis though), custom shaders, free look (move the camera position hack)

Thank you for your quick response!

Holly shit! Given the fact that I can run almost every AAA-Title on max settings, this point worries me. I mean the Wii has shitty graphics and medieval hardware, and although I know that the pc has to emulate a whole console, it's hard to believe that it needs that much to do so.

Well, I'll give it a try!

You're going to find that you will need a much stronger CPU to play games well. You can reuse your video card, though.
