==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 won't be any performance gains compared to running those emulators bare-metal on a Wii.
[[Nintendont]], while not an emulator, enables the ability to play GameCube games on the Wii U as well, with little compromise. =Emulators (Multi-system)=

Please notice note that Retroarch RetroArch isn't currently compatible with the Aroma custom firmware. In order to run RetroarchRetroArch, you will have to boot a legacy cfw like tiramisuuse an older hack such as Tiramisu (Haxchi and Mocha also both work, haxchi or mochabut really shouldn't be used at this point).

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.

| The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (specific any PAL versionsversion)<ref group="N">Ship As of Harkinian requires either the GameCube's PAL Debug ROM (recommended), PAL Master Quest Debug ROM (for Master Quest mode's dungeons; supported as of v5v8.0.0), PAL Nintendo 64 v1.1 ROM (as Ship of v7.1.0), or the regular Harkinian supports any PAL GameCube ROM (not recommended) of ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'' for Nintendo 64 or GameCube ([https://ship.equipment SoH Compatibility Checker] to check if your ROM is supported). Launch the PC version and locate the ROM to generate an <code>oot.otr</code> file from OTRGui (from to place in the <code>soh</code> Wii U app folder. Additionally and optionally, you can load the PAL version of the ''Master Quest'' version in the PC download) version to play it.

| {{✓}}<ref group=N>This unofficial Wii U port of the Sonia Mania Decompilation project plays and loads great. 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>
