I totally agree. Calpis is sexy... but sometimes too sexy to understand completely. :lol: + his name is from that delicious drink which I wish to get more of... Anyway, I hope people always continue coding Emulators and the bunch... I think its a great way to explore backups and use many features than an Emulator/PC can provide. Of course, running originals on a real console will always be the best, but Emulators provide alot more tools which can show off a bunch of great stuff. I hope we see a near-perfect Wii Emu running in 10-15 years. I really wouldnt doubt it.
Erm sort of. It was not a public emulator but a quazia emulator by nintendo for developers. It was not very functional at all. So it does not count.
I believe you can use the Wii mote on your PC as long as it has bluetooth - http://www.kudzuworld.com/blogs/Tech/20070817A.en.aspx
But it was still possible to play F-Zero Advance on a GBA Emulator in March / April 2001. That was a feat, wasn't it?
