promised girl I've started seeing I'll sort some games quick... she mentioned a Wii... I don't have one, got a spare PC and some controllers tho...

any recommendations for which emulator to run?

Retroarch.
Should be a dolphin core to run Wii on PC.

But tbh, a Wii is like £15 and is pretty trivial to hack.  It's not worth the effort of an emulator.

Even a stoneage PC will run a lot of the classic arcade stuff with comfort, a good dark horse, simple yet wacky arcade game to play is "hyper bishi bashi champ"  :thumbup:

But what about ROMs!? You can get them from archive.org with a couple of minutes of poking about, here for example is a complete set for mame2003+ https://archive.org/details/MAME_2003-Plus_Reference_Set_2018

I used to run SNES stuff on an emulator at home for my nephew and niece, was on a 1.3gig early pentium....

the spare system is an i5 2500k, can't remember ram, has an ssd... no hdmi out for tv so ordered a 1050ti   (incase I want to do anything else with it later on)

actually... now I've typed that out I think my full ld system might be here at work and full of stuff...  (it's too easy to buy stuff!)

I... didn't even know a Wii could be hacked...

I'll get one on ebay and a drive for it
