Classic Video Game Emulators

[Hotsauce]

So I modded my original Wii so that I can play NES games on it. It’s pretty cool, I don’t have all of the titles I wish I had, but I have a bunch of games. It plays well, there is a slight lag (wireless Wii controller is off by a fraction of a second) and you can save the game at anytime while playing which is nice. 

Now I want to venture out to Super Nintendo and N64. Are there easy ways to mod a Wii for this?  A big part of what I am looking for is I want to be able to use the actual controllers for each system.  I know you can buy aftermarket replicas of the Super NES and N64 Controllors with a USB end. 

Another option would be to buy one of those mini units for Super nes, but they are limited and very expensive on the aftermarket. Are there knockoff brands?

Thanks in advance

lol why mod a wii, everything plays roms nowadays.  but in any case, yes there are homebrew apps for 64 and snes for the wii.  you can load emulators into Kodi as well.  I recommend a good android box or even a rasberry pi.

You need to setup RetroPii on the raspberry pii.    It's really simple and isn't too expensive.    I setup one for the wife a month or two ago and I think between the Pii, sd card, case, etc, I spent about $50.     I used ps4 controllers I already had though but you can buy $15 ones that look like SNES if you want that, etc.    I think N64 games are hit and miss on it though, but I heard most are good.     NES/SNES play perfect, Sega, all that, and I think even some PS1 games play.    Dreamcast too.

This is what I did.

I don’t know much about modded systems but I have a custome built arcade cabinet with games from every system. It uses Hyperspin and MAME. All you need is a PC and you can play them all.

I'm playing through a fan translation of Dragon Warrior III (Dragon Quest 3) on SNES.
