Since WiiVC is no longer an option it seems, is collectors edition on the wii(not wiiu) acceptable? and what would the other options be? thanks =)

I answered in your thread in the main forum https://www.speedrun.com/Speedrunning/thread/nkl41/1#f2zxo

Yes, it’s allowed, but don’t bother. Just homebrew your Wii and install the VC games as WADs. The OOT discord has resources on how to do this.

Awesome, thanks! I will take a look. appreciate the reply =)

Edit: I did it! Thanks so much for the help =D

Edit 2: Since my wii is region unlocked is it safe to install the pal version?

Yes, if you have region free channels/discs set, then you can install the PAL version. However I don’t see a reason to and given that it will run at a different speed you may find it has horribly bad audio among other problems on your TV.

Furthermore most setups wont even work because of the frame rate difference. Youre much better off playing on NTSC.
