Enhancement: Load ROMs from NAND. #313

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I'm aware this isn't in any way trivial, but I was just playing a couple of 
larger N64 games and thinking about the need for loading screens for loading 
chunks of the game into RAM. If ROMs could be written directly to the Wii NAND 
(as hidden channels, perhaps?) they could be read from in-place rather than 
from RAM, which I'm (questionably?) guessing is what Nintendo does with the 
Virtual Console.

Of course this means using up precious NAND space, but I doubt most people 
would want more than a couple of games installed, and the vast majority run 
just fine from RAM. Of course, this is preferable to the Virtual Console due to 
the far greater range of features offered by Wii64, as well as present and 
future compatibility which is in many cases superior to the Virtual Console.
