technically: yes
in practice: first roadblock is that melonDS's code is not endian-safe, and the Wii is a big-endian platform. so one would need to go through all the code to fix that. then you'd have to do a great deal of optimization to run it at a decent speed on the Wii's 729MHz CPU (or whatever the speed was). it would probably be more efficient to write an emulator from scratch, targetting the Wii specifically. ____________________ Kuribo64 |

I'd love for them to make it for Wii and Switch, playing DS games on PC is horrible |

There is already a Switch port maintained by Generic that as far as I know runs most games well. As Arisotura said, the Wii is likely out of the question without making an emulator specific to it, though maybe the Wii U would have a chance. |
