So I read that Nintendont runs games smoother compared to a real GameCube, this is because of the fastest CPU clockspeed of the Wii (50% faster) does it also utilise the full RAM as well? Asking to see if windwaker 4p mod will run on it.

If it runs 50% faster on a Wii, would it run even faster on a wiiu?

Nintendont already uses all off the Wii ram, games ram is limited to original value, because nintendont needs ram to run controller code, bt code, memory card, audio interface, audio streaming, patching all functions on the fly,disc swap, all that eats the ram away, heck if you choose 16mb mc emulation, disc swap won't even work because all the ram is taken away.

You can do vwii overclock and the game might run faster than Wii or not, depends if the game has a CPU bottleneck or GPU, we use the same GPU as the Wii/GC so you can't overclock that.
