I've never bothered with N64 on Wii or Wii U but figured I'd love to in the future so I'd appreciate a heads up of the current situation.
As far as I know, there's basically 4 options right now due to the lack of a real N64 core in Wii U's RetroArch as well as any Wii U standalone emulator (and by Wii U, I mean Wii U, not vWii):
Does anybody know, whether a real N64 emulator for the Wii U with dynarec support is in the works somewhere? (maybe @ploggy or @ShadowOne333 ?)
Apart from that, which of the four is currently the best way to play N64?
Measurements would be:
- Wii U GamePad support
- performance
- no black borders on top and bottom of the screen (as with Mupen64Plus-Next)
- to be honest I'd love to have a rom list rather than injecting each title individually into a VC although the Wii U VC might have the best performance currently?

- vWii Wii64
- vWii Not64 (a fork of Wii64)
- Wii U VC
