Hey everyone!
Inspired by my
ISYS100 blog assignment and empowered by all the research I did for the last blog post, I decided to see whether I could get an emulator up
and running on my own computer. Here’s what I did:
- Purchased a Wii and all the games I wished to play (otherwise this is software piracy)
- Threw them in a cardboard box in the garage (simply owning the games means I am legally allowed to make copies of them for use in an emulator)
- Downloaded the Dolphin Wii emulator
- Downloaded the games I wanted to play
- Hooked up my wireless Xbox 360 controllers (you can use any controller that will connect to your PC, or even just keyboard + mouse)
- Spent a good four hours tweaking the settings to get it to run properly, the controllers to work etc etc
- Invited the MEATO crew to my place
- Played new super Mario bros wii on my PC in multiplayer!
We had a really good time,
except everyone complained that having four people crowded around a computer
screen felt a bit crowded. My dedication to this video gaming blog knows no
bounds, so I ordered a really long HDMI cable off eBay, and now that it’s here,
I'm now able to kick back and relax to Mario on my television!
Remember to keep your RSS feeds syndicated because the MEATO team have got heaps of mad content coming up for you guys very soon!
