I've gotten a few NES games to boot with sound, but no picture. I've gotten a few SNES games (LTTP in particular) to boot and play perfectly with picture, but no sound except for the home menu. I've yet to get a N64 game to boot. I've got a couple of others that I need to try though. All in all, getting Virtual Console games to emulate shouldn't be too tricky at all, they seem to be doing well with the exception of the 64.

you can boot it up but there is no sound and no graphics

Updated, except SMB3. Do you get at least ANY graphics or sounds?

nope it does not produce any graphics or sound what so ever. i've tried disabling optimize quantinizers, dual core , activating the zelda tp bloom hack ect... and nothing happens. it does still run as the wiimote connects and runs about 19fps but thats the only sign of any activity.

On my SMB3 pulled from the NAND, I had a save state on the world map, and there is indeed sound, but no graphics at all. For those not getting sound, remember that SMB3 has no sound on the title screen, so you'll have to mash plus a bit to get past that, which should land you on the world map. Can't see anything of course, and mine is still running at around 20 FPS (should be 60) so the sound is all stutter-tastic.

I havnt Been able to even get any of theses to boot, i tried donkey kong country 3 no luck lol.
