Wii Games Now Playable On Android Tablets Thanks To One Modder

Modder Uses An Android App, An Emulator, & A Wireless Controller To Play Wii Games On His Android Tablet

Some people are so creative, such as the guy who thought it would be a good idea to root a six foot tall Android. Fun comes in various and assorted definitions, I suppose. The new news is that a guy has figured out how to play Wii games on his Android tablet. Question is, why?

Obiwan222222 used Splashtop Remote Desktop App (an Android app used to remotely connect and access your computer via VNC), the Dolphin Emulator, and a wireless Xbox 360 controller.

Here’s a quick lowdown of what he was able to accomplish:

  • He connected the wireless remote to his ASUS Eee Pad Transformer’s keyboard dock
  • He used the Dolphin Emulator to run the Wii (Dolphin is an open source Wii emulator that runs on desktop PCs)
  • He then used the Splashtop Remote Desktop App to connect to the PC running the Dolphin emulator

All that makes it possible to run Wii games on his Android tablet. Cudos, man!
