Posted October 10, 2006 Software != Hardware What you were saying (or at least what I read) was that the wii uses software to interperate the calls on the hardware. This is false as the wii hardware runs gamecube code without the need for emulation software. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 10, 2006 What I heard was that when a Gamecube disc is inserted, the CPU and GPU speeds drop to the exact figures the Gamecube's hardware ran at...and that's pretty much it, that's how GC compatibility is handled. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 10, 2006 Software != HardwareWhat you were saying (or at least what I read) was that the wii uses software to interperate the calls on the hardware. This is false as the wii hardware runs gamecube code without the need for emulation software. And I had already said that might have been a mis-quote ...in the very same post you quoted. Since we're getting differing accounts of how the Wii handles Gamecube games from people contributing to this thread I think it's safe to assume that none of us knows for sure. I'm just happy the Wii has backwards compatability, and that it looks like it's going to be much better than that found on other consoles I could mention. *looks disapprovingly at Xbox 360* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
