I read that the team who made wii64 is working on getting it fixed to where all 64 roms will be playable... but are they really working on it? I mean come on I've seen team twizler do all sorts of things since they released the wii64... Thanks for all that by the way!!! look if you guys can't figure it out from where your at maybe you guys should go back and start at scratch again. If i had my computer back online and working right i wouldn't mind helping you guys with it but i can't... and by the way does anyone know why i can't play some of my emulators on the homebrew channel? yes i got both the HBC updated and my wii... is this going to be fixed soon?

When they released the update to Beta9, they made it so .DOLs must be used instead of .ELFs, if I read correctly. Most homebrew developers update their programs when things like this happen.

There are no developers here at this site, so asking when something if going to be released is pointless...

I'm not saying what team tweezers did was easy, but I know that creating an emulator is hard stuff, especially for the 64. People were trying to take the VC games (since each is packaged with an emulator and a rom) and injecting new roms into them, but it just wasn't working because there's so much variety in how 64 games were programmed. Even the 64 emulator for xbox isn't perfect and not only has the xbox been out forever, but it has slightly more power than the Wii.

So be patient, because it may not get to the level that you are expecting it to.

Does that mean i'll have to go back and re-download all the emulators and games again at a later date? or have they already switched over from .elf file loading to .dol file loading?

use the elf-dol converter.

Hopefully we can get an update in the next few years, to increase the speed for at least 1 game...
