As someone new to emulation, and as someone who wants to use his own game files, I've managed to get over 40 of my own games onto the RG351P retro handheld from 3DS VC and Wii U VC. However, I'm now stuck at how to get my Wii VC ROMs off of my Wii U (specifically, SNES and N64 ROMs), for the purpose of putting on my handheld. There's so much to learn about in the emulation scene that I'm not even sure if I've come across the right information to do what I'm wanting. Any pointers, links to guides, or step-by-step high-level or low-level instructions would be appreciated. My rule is that I use my own files or none, so I'm not sailing the high seas just to make things easier. And for context, I'll be using Windows 10 for any PC steps.

Thanks in advance for any aid.

https://gbatemp.net/threads/semi-working-nfs2iso2nfs-convert-nfs-to-iso-and-back.455812/ should be able to convert the NFS from a Wii VC dump to a working ISO (Wii common key required), it just can't convert the other way.

What will I need to do to a Wii U to dump Wii VC files? Am I correct in stating that I will need to install the homebrew channel and tiramisu? Just getting the files off of the system first is what has been most confusing. Thank you for the link and info you've provided.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
