ZC on the Wii

[Joe_Cracker]

I was wondering about something. Would it be possible to make a program that could be uploaded onto the Wii via SD card that would allow you to play .qst's on your Nintendo Wii.

It wouldn't be a bad idea, as long as it works with the Wii Remote, classic controller and Gamecube controller then you would have something good.

Tis a good idea to read the stickied topics, as you would already know that topics like this are basically auto-deleted. The ZC development team currently has no interests in porting ZC to a non-PC platform such as the PSP or the Nintendo Wii. If you're an experienced programmer and the task is something that you yourself are willing to undertake, you'll have to speak with DarkNation. Otherwise, just leave the topic alone. It gets annoying :/

[Joe_Cracker]

Yeah, maybe an outside developer would be intrested in getting .qst files playable on the Wii or PSP or any other console.

Well, you would need to get ZC downloaded onto the Wii which would mean getting it into a format which the Wii would be able to run and getting the Wii to recognize it as a game it can run. That would mean someone would need to know how a Wii works and how to make games for it to make a Wii version of ZC. It might be possible to make a website with ZC built into and make it so that when you run it, it reads data from your SD card or make a program that runs ZC from your SD card but I don't know anything about websites. I don't know about the PSP, for I don't have one. Also, I think it's a bad idea to post on threads that have been for months.

EDIT: I read your post at general entertainment so by the looks of it, if we get Nintendo to host a Wii ZC on WiiWare and someone who will make it we could be seeing ZC on the Wii. But, I don't want to pay just to play ZC on my Wii if I can play for free on my PC.

This topic has come up numerous times so people who have been here a while will tell you a quick one-word answer: no.

I remember some of the posts Dark Nation has made in the past. There was a ZC port being worked on at one time, but unfortunately ZC is a bit of a memory hog, and it's not easy to scale that down thus the port idea has been rather difficult to do.

Until any devs have time to work on this, which I am guessing won't be until well after 2.5 is completed (no time table here, but progress is being made), you shouldn't even worry about a possibility.

I suppose it may be possible on the Wii if a homebrew developer ported it, though it still probably wouldn't work well on the Wii due to it being previously stated that it's a memory hog.

[Joe_Cracker]

Yeah your right, the wii isn't big on storage save data like the 360 and the PS3. It's internal harddrive is only 512mbits when like the others are like 20gbits or higher.

I've read that most homebrew on wii runs directly off the SD card without modding, so if some homebrew software was to come along it would have to do just that.

[bobrocks95]

The majority of homebrew software runs directly from the SD Card. But after looking at the Wii system specs, specifically its ~90MB of RAM, I don't think it would be possible to have ZC on it.

It will never happen. Thank you.

I mean, it's hard enough to get ZC stable on the computer...

I dont even know why people suggests these things if it would be alot easier to just get it on your pc.
