Great news to all Wii emulator fans! Homebrew coders tehpola, sepp256 and emu_kidid has release the first beta of Wii64, a port of the ever-popular multi-OS Nintendo 64 emulator, Mupen64, to the Nintendo Wii and Gamecube through the libOGC library.

Developer's note:

The emulator is planned to use dynamic recompilation of the N64 machine code to PowerPC machine code and full hardware accelerated graphics to achieve full-speed emulation. Currently the emulator is in beta stage and can run many N64 ROMs at near full speed.

The emulator can be controlled with any combination of GC controllers, Classic Controllers, and Wiimotes with Nunchuks (sorry, Wiimotes must have nunchuks). See the included readme for details on the controls. You can load ROMs and saves from a FAT formatted SD or USB (details on the folders required are in the readme).

Currently achieved features:

Emulation via Dynamic Recompiler & Pure Interpreter
Hardware Accelerated Graphics (glN64 ported to GX by sepp256)
ROM Support up to 512MBit
Expansion Pak support
High Level PowerPC RSP
Interpolated Stereo Sound
Input via Gamecube & Classic Controller & Wiimote + Nunchuck
Configurable input combinations
DVD/USB/SDGecko/Front-SD ROM Loading
Native Saves
Save States
Rumble/Controller Pak Support
Progressive/Widescreen Resolution

Quick usage:

ROMs can be z64 (big-endian) or v64 (little endian), or .n64, of any size
To install: Extract the contents of wii64-beta1.zip to the root of your SD card
For SD/USB: Put ROMs in the directory named /wii64/roms, All save types will automatically be placed in /wii64/saves
For DVD: ROMs may be anywhere on the disc
Load the executable from the HBC or in the loader of your choice. Once loaded, select 'Load ROM' and choose the source and select the ROM to load (Note: to go up a directory select '..', B will exit the file browser)
Select 'Play Game' to play. The game can be exited any time by pressing X and Y together on a GC pad or Classic Controller, 1 and 2 together on a Wiimote (only with Nunchuck attached), or the reset button Note: this must be done to save your game; it will not be done automatically)
