Is it possible to play AGS games on the wii? It has a hacked program that plays DOS game?

let us break this down.

QuoteIt has a hacked program that plays DOS game?

Ok so the wii can play dos games. We shall file this under 'information for future use'

QuoteIs it possible to play AGS games on the wii?

Ah ha! Well now we have some information filed earlier about what the wii can play!

Lets examine that information again.

QuoteIt has a hacked program that plays DOS game?

Ok so. This information we filed earlier tells us that the wii can play dos games.

Now we need to establish if AGS games fall into this category. Let's see what the AGS website has to say.

QuoteNative Windows, Linux (x86) and Mac (currently in beta) versions of the game engine, to maximise the number of people who can play your game.

Oh dear

It seems that dos is not featured as a runtime.

So, from all the information gathered here and from a little critical thinking we can assume that the answer is a resounding no.

To be fair, older AGS games will run in DOS, too.

Icey games still fails at every communication standard.

as for older AGS games, they don't work all that well in DOSbox, lot's of sound problems. Going windows was best thing ever happened to AGS IMO.

What about a real life emu?

Icey · Fri 15/04/2011 03:32:24

I mean emulator.

On a side note,

But I think It'll work with ancient, DOS-era AGS games only.

I googled The dos emu for wii and still got nothing on ags.

But it's a cool because I will check today on my wii what works and what doesn't.

Very old AGS versions used to produce DOS executables.
For now, scratch playing AGS games on a Wii, alright? Until somebody manages to install Windows on it (which won't happen).

Also, just for reference: DOS != Windows

Look out, here come's the Wii's latest developer, Icey games!

With such great forthcoming games:
"Wii Ã±Ã±Ã±Ã±Ã±Ã±Ã± Ã±Ã±Ã±Ã±Ã± Ã±Ã±Ã±Ã±Ã±Ã±Ã± Quest"
"Wii Spirit Dennis"
"Wii Walk from one side of room to the other trial version"

Surely someone has gotten Linux to run on a Wii?

Exactly how is DOS = AGS?
And why should DosBox developer write anything about AGS?
Are you using MS-DOS right now? Do you even comprehend what DOS means?
~~what kind of loser owns a wii anyway unless it's for 6-year old kid~~

Icey · Fri 15/04/2011 23:14:08

Linux runs on the wii.

I didn't say AGS =DOS/windows.

I see you crossed out that last line. I only own my wii for hacking reasons.

L33t hax0ring purposes~?

While almost certainly "possible", modding your Wii to play AGS games would be about as easy and useful as modding it to cook bacon.

I wouldn't say that any of this is a total lost cause. There was recently brief talk about AGS eventually going open-source. While I can't see that happening for a very long time, I'm sure that it will at one point. From then on, the games will likely be portable, and slowly be ported to work with ScummVm. However, this will likely not happen for a very, VERY long time.

No I only use it for add extra fun to my and adding cloud strife to smash bros.
I don't try and take the fun from others I always play fair.

How the hell does every thread you make bring me to hysterical tears icey? It must a gift. This topic is hilarious! (or I'm just very sleep deprived, which is entirely possible

)

Zor, I really, really, really, really, really want to say something, but I would offend the AGS gods..and myself.

Ah, what the hell.
