Where do people find this crap?
I don't even have to do the research to tell you this is not true. Most pc games that come on a cd have to be installed. Most newer ones require directx. Neither of which are gonna happen on the Wii.

There are many ways to make your Wiimote work with the PC (via bluetooth) and use scripts to play PC games.
No news on an emulator though.

I think he meant IGN.
To the OP- You may be confusing PC-emulator with the PC-engine aka Turbografx...

If you want to play games on your Wii, great.
If you want to play games on your PC, think about it.

PC (via bluetooth) and use scripts to play PC games.
|
Most computers don't have bluetooth installed yet, Apple do though. So you'll need to go to the shop and get a Bluetooth dongle, or nip to Ebay or Amazon or whatever you use to get cheap stuff. At least £2 down the drain. (I am English) Then like loizoskounios said, you'd need to make a script or download one off the net to play with your wiimote on games.
So what do you think now? A bit more hassle? The only good bit is you might be able to use your Wiimote on PC Games.
And of cause, you can't use your TV screen  .

There's nowhere near enough Ram to run most PC games of the last at least 7/8 years, plus, where would you install it?

You would need to basically install windows, it's dlls, it's API, and several others things for that to even work. It's not really feasible.

I think it is best to have your PC do PC things and your WII do WII things.

How hard is it to believe that in a few years you'll be able to play pc games on wii......
like if they did this they woiuld have no competion. good for them right.
wii does have 2 usb slots on its back so couldn't nintendo sell a pc emulator for wii on some kind of extrnal hard drive that would oprate thourgh a channel.
com 'on it would be pretty sweet if that came out.
