Difference between pages "Emulation on Ubuntu" and "Wii U emulators"
FosterHaven (talk | contribs) (The reason the repositories don't work on other distributions is because of the packaging tool Ubuntu uses, called APT. Fedora and Arch use different ones, and they're not compatible with each other.) |

Dolphin
You might have read about an unofficial branch of Dolphin with Wii U support — but don't get your hopes up. While the PowerPC architecture family in the Wii U is the same as the Wii and GameCube (this fact alone was the reason why Wii emulation was added to Dolphin, originally GameCube-only), this support is nothing more than the file viewer features (region, internal name, various info, list of files and folders inside ISO and a way to extract them) being expanded to Wii U disc images. Nothing has been done on the actual emulation front as far as Dolphin is concerned, and the Dolphin developers have said that they're not going to add Wii U support to Dolphin.
