Option B is to grab a Wii and mod it! I did it to both my consoles, and it RULES.

Thank you Thank you Thank you.
We got a wii but other than playing with it for a couple weeks, it pretty much has sat in the box collecting dust. I figure its not worth much of anything for trade in, but this seems like a good idea to tinker around with.
Anyone who has a Wii and DOESN'T mod it is missing out! It's very easy to do, and it makes it so much better. Still can't get N64 games to work on a reliable emulator, but I did get some MAME games to run on a ported MAME emulator. It does tend to crash a lot running MAME, though, and not everything works.
And if I didn't mention it before, YES, you can play regular Wii games afterwards. I popped in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword a few days ago, and it worked fine on my modded Wii.
Have you gotten Gamecube em to work?
In reply to trigun7469:
I haven't tried because the Wii plays Gamecube games anyway. I have pretty much all the Gamecube games in physical format that I'd want.
The emulators I have on mine are for the following systems:
-Atari 2600
-Atari 7800
-NES
-SNES
-N64 (does not work well)
-Game Boy
-Game Boy Color
-Game Boy Advance
-Sega SG1000
-Sega Master System
-Sega Game Gear
-Sega Genesis/Mega Drive
-Sega CD
-Turbografx 16/PC Engine
-MAME (plays some arcade games, like TMNT and The Simpsons)
I am working on getting Intellivision, Atari 5200, and Colecovision on there as well.
My wife even is excited about this idea. Just need to get an appropriate SD card and reader and I should be up and running in a couple days, already own lego indiana jones. Mostly interested in the NES and SNES stuff I had as a kid so I can subject my nephew and daughter to them when they get a little older. Downloaded a bunch of roms last night.
Bummer N64 doesnt work well, that Mario Kart on N64 was arguably the best one.
I soft modded my Wii, where do I get the roms for NES and SNES?
not sure if its forum friendly so PM sent.
Since this is basically a Modded Wii thread now, my Wii learned how to emulate a ColecoVision yesterday.
