See [[Emulators on Wii|Emulators on WiiNintendont]] for emulators that will work , while not an emulator, enables the ability to play GameCube games on vWii modethe Wii U as well, with little compromise.

==Sony==LiteNESU: one of the first homebrew programs for the wiiu. Barely a PoC. Slow, without sound, low compatibility. Cant load games from the scard. You'll have to host and load the game from the network, next to the payload, with the old browser method. Or, alternatively, bundle the roms inside the elf executable (16in1) at compilation time. You'd better use retroarch, or the injection method, or one of the emulators on the wii side like fceugx. ===PSPPokémon Mini===

Undo revision 83846 by 172.68.27.113 (talk) the old edit had worse wording / a bad recommendation? how about a reason for undoing my edit rather than just undoing it. thx
{{for|software that emulates the Wii U|Wii U emulators}}
=Emulators (Legacy, via vWii)=Most [[Emulators on Wii|emulators available for the Wii ]] will also work on vWii (virtual Wii) mode on the Wii U, and some of them even support the Wii U Pro Controller or the Wii U Gamepad. However, due to sandboxing, there will won't be no any performance gain over gains compared to running those emulators bare-metal on a Wii, though some emulators support the Wii U pro controller or Wii U Gamepad.

Gacubeboy: small emulator coded in 8 hours. Uses GX2 graphics but has a lot of graphical glitches. Poor compatibility. No sound.<br>GBiine: Wiiu Heig-Boy port. Can open a few gbc roms, just the ones designed for dual usage in gbc and original gb, like Links Awakening DX, but in gb mode (no color). Supports saves. No sound.<br>NooDS: while this emulator is focused on nintendo ds, it can make use of the emulated slot-2 to actually load gba games, which do run fullspeed but with some minor glitches.<br>Retroarch is generally the best choice. Alternatively, there are good gb/gbc/gba emulators in wii mode, like mgba or vbagx. ===Pokémon MiniNES===

PokeMini by rw-r-r_0644 is an early and obsolete retroarch core.<br>
PokeMiniU is based on the original Pokemini standalone emulator, but it's one of the first homebrew emulators and is full of bugs: tiny screen, lots of graphical glitches, wrong colors...<br>
In both cases, you will prefer the most recent retroarch with the newest pokemini core.

Some frames will drop during giant ring special stages when too many 3D assets appear on the screen but performance is arguably bearable. Missing features as of v1.0.3 include screen filters, the 'DLC' option in the main menu doesn't do anything (but 'Encore Mode' works when <code>dlcEnabled</code> is set to <code>y</code> in <code>Settings.ini</code>) and limited mod support.</ref>
