@marecare Yeah you will get a lot of down votes, because asking for roms is not allowed in this forum. Wii games aren't playable on Raspberry Pi 3, even Nintendo 64 is very buggy and problematic. So, the answer is no-no (as said already above).

@dankcushions I see now. Thanks.

What specifically is it doing with Emulation station? Is there someplace in the scripts where I can swap out the executable from ES to attract?

@ledow I understand it now, thank you for clarification. That's too bad we won't get a machine (not talking about PC) anytime soon to emulate both N64 and Dreamcast well enough for them to be as playable as on original consoles. I guess for newer titles you would just have to go for new generation consoles such as PS4 or so and play newer versions of each N64 game, if such exists.

But what I hate about all this new console stuff is that you can no longer play as easily as you could do it back in the days. Internet is a must for nearly everything, micropayments everywhere even though you bought a full version of the game. And controllers are already a mess in my opinion since PS2 - nothing like the ones for SNES with just couple keys necessary to play. I get it where they come from but I still feel much more comfortable with my good old RetroPad.

@BJRetro Thanks. I'll look into these when I get time. At the moment I'm going through the N64 library with poor results so far but still there are couple playable games already.

It took some time, but I finally came across a working .pbp image. Thanks for your input. :-)

I saw this several days ago for a project of Final Fantasy 7 HD version: http://forums.qhimm.com/index.php?topic=18549.0

I doubt this would be usable in realtime, probably in form of a HD download patch. The new graphics card are starting to implement AI co-processors, maybe this is possible in the future. The results are really astonishing!

This is just about the coolest hack ever! Get ready to play Super Mario Bros the same way you play Mario Wii.... by inadvertently killing your co-op partner ever 30 seconds! This is just awesome and so much fun! It gets really hard on later levels! Google this on romhacking.net!

thanks Cyberghost. Jumped over to your suggested thread and giving that a shot.

Okay so I got the following cheats for Final Fantasy 8 entered and uploaded into the files but when I activate them in the game menu the only one that actually works properly is the 255 AP and the Infinite Item Usage. All Items and All Cards doesn't work properly (All items gives me 100 potions and All Cards give me 127 of one card) I've checked multiple times and they are entered correctly, can someone please give me some insight as to why they aren't working? I threw the Master Code in there after the fact but it didn't change anything at all.

@DjGenEsIs Personally, I just use lr-fbalpha as my primary arcade emulator for the latest and sometimes better/faster emulation (compared to outdated emulators), with lr-mame2003plus and lr-mame2010 as my secondary emulators.

I can't say if all the games I'm running in lr-fbalpha are at full speed or have better emulation than what I might get in one of my secondaries, but I at least gave them a first pass and didn't notice any slowdown or problems, with the bonus of not having to put too much time into testing.

Here's my spreadsheet listing the games I've tested, though lack of a closely inspected second pass for the FBA ones does mean the list is deeply flawed.

Still, if I could, I'd use the latest libretro MAME. Just don't have the power for that on a Pi.

Hey guys, yes I like that one too thanks @Stuart2773 but it sounds too much like the snes classic menu as I have the original on my Nintendo build already. I do like the one @Clyde posted but only like the start of it, I might have a play and crop and loop before it all starts going crazy haha.

@mediamogul Oh, I didn't realize its from the same group. I am into romhacks and mods since last year and only see the good stuff. The first time I saw Nude Punch-Out was so hilarious. More then 20 years later, a lot happened and still is happening.

@mitu Ahh, makes sense.

We had this kind of incidents reported before - that's why it's recommended you change the default password for the pi user. Unfortunately the best advice is to wipe clean the card and re-install the system.

This is a real shame. Hacking is healthy for the game community. It shows developers what can be done with their own technology. It was like when the original xbox came out and people were running kodi on it (xbmc back then), microsoft were like "wow, that's really cool, maybe we should build a media centre", and they did. But the trouble with that is that it becomes a victim of it's own success, and without big names behind it kodi is in trouble, just as emulation is in trouble.

@m2306 Lag really doesn't have to be an issue, but it can be with the wrong hdtv. On mine I can't notice any input lag. Maybe I would be able to notice it if I could play the game side by side, crt tv vs hdtv, but it's all good for me the way I've got it set up right now.

Here's an article with three different options: https://www.ostechnix.com/test-your-bash-skills-by-playing-command-line-games/

The last one can be played offline. I haven't tried them all, but they should be plenty to teach you the basics.
You should know when to stop though. The wargames site goes into some very advanced stuff which you'll never use. Most of the stuff you need will probably be in the first level.
