Making a Single Core work on more cores would make the program execution a mess and cause slowdowns, the programs are compiled to work on a single core meaning it is not designed for any kind of multi-threading between multiple processors, a program can only benefit if its coded to do so.

Also the Wii does not use 80 processing cores.
