    What’s the latency like on that? I have a dusty wiiU and this seems like a fun little project

      Slightly perceptible, but totally playable. Considering all the hops it has to make, it’s surprisingly good. I have both my WiiU and my desktop hooked up to ethernet, which helps. Games like Portal 2 work well because they don’t usually require split second inputs, but anything requiring precision (like a rhythm game) would probably be a struggle.

          the wii-u console, required to run the gamepad is loud, and the display is 854 x 480 pixels

            480 would be NTSC. PAL was higher resolution. But, yeah, the latency was basically imperceptible but the fan noise was real.

              Last time, when I used it, to take my save games over to cemu I was really appreciative how quiet my gaming pc was in comparison haha. I miss fire hopping in Mario kart :(
