im not trying to be mean or anything, just putting that suggestion out on the table.
It wouldn't be a lot of people like the Wii, but you can at least play online with other people who has the emulator.
Figuring out how the client works (the Wii) is one thing, since the developers have access to the hardware and software via a physical console. Figuring out how Big N's servers work is another thing, especially since the only things presumably known about them are whatever the client and servers send to each other. All of the server-side stuff would be a big unknown. Not saying it's impossible, just that it'd probably involve a fair share of guessing.

I totally Agree with you on that. Finding out how the servers work is a big problem in my theory. So I was thinking that maybe it doesn't have to be a server, it can be like the VirtualBoy Advanced and support LAN. Then you can use a program Like Hamachi to start a virtual LAN party and play like that with random people.
Plus you can use a program like TeamSpeak To talk to each other while playing.
So basically, just like Dolphin's Netplay feature, but it'll work for Nintendo Wi-Fi Network games? I suppose it would be easier than recreating your own Nintendo server. However, I'm also guessing it'd be full of hacks, since you're not really accessing Nintendo's servers.

Correct, but since you're the host of Hamachi you can just kick the person from the server if their hacking. Unfortunately, if someone else is hosting the Hamachi, they might kick just because they're losing. "There's always a solution to a problem, but there's always a problem to the solution."
No, he doesn't mean people hacking in order to cheat. He means the emulated server would be a hackish bodge job, as we don't have the information to do it properly.
