Dreamcast any possiblity?

Well, does it have any chance to make it to the Virtual Console, it was made in the late 90s. (1999 I think) and it did have a couple of classic games; Ready 2 Rumble, Megaman, and Sonic.

do you think so?

Not enough memory or raw power.Duckman5

Damn, true never thought of that.

Lol when a Wii 2 comes out. :p

Off Topic: How does this level system work? I have more posts then you, Lolag but you're still a higher level. Sorry, I'm a complete uber noob to this stuff.

You get points from signing in every day. The more active you are (Posts, watching vids on th site etc.) the more points you get daily. (Of course there is a set limit) Even though you have more posts he's been a user longer so has accumulated more points and levels.

Doesn't matter about that, it can't even hold the power of the Dreamcast. The Dreamcast had as much power, if not more then the 6th generation consoles (GC, Xbox, PS2). The Nintendo Wii has probably the same amount of power as the Xbox, a little less a little more. Who cares, but it can't handle a console with such advanced hardware power.PainGivingLink

I really hope you are kidding. If not then I feel sad for you.

No, I'm not kidding. What's the problem?

Well, for starters, the Dreamcast was not more powerful than the PS2, XBox or the Gamecube and it is definitely not more powerful than the Wii. The Wii won't be playing Dreamcast roms because it doesn't have enough memory to hold them not because it's processors can't handle them.

What I meant with the Dreamcast hardware and processors their games were very advanced in terms of audio, graphics and such. Which means it would take up large amounts of space which the Nintendo Wii can't handle due to storage limits, sorry if I worded it wrong.

And, the Dreamcast wasn't superior to the GC, PS2 and Xbox but did have a rightful place in the 6th Generation of consoles. It was the first console to have online capibilities, and such. It was truly a revolutionary system, too bad it flopped...severely.

Ok, well I agree with you there. The Dreamcast definitely peaked too soon. By the time I was ready to buy it, it had already died. I would like a chance to play some of the Dreamcast's games, but unless the Wii gets a hard drive it won't be happening any time soon.

The DC may not have been as powerful, but the difference between it and the Wii is less than you might think.

Now the key thing to remember is that emulation requires considerable horsepower: The device doing the emulating must be many times faster than the device being emulated. There just isn't enough of a difference in processing power.

The processor CAN'T handle them. PCs struggle to run them PCS dude.

Yes, the general rule of thumb is that the console/PC doing the emulating should be at least 10 times more powerful than the console being emulated.
