Retroarch Wii - Patched !!exclusive!!
The Wii’s Broadway CPU is slow (729 MHz). The patched versions often reduce the rendering resolution of the RGUI menu from the default 640x480 to 320x240 during gameplay, freeing up CPU cycles for the emulation itself. You won't see the difference in a text list, but the emulation gains 5-10 FPS.
The most vital patches involve "memory stripping." Standard RetroArch loads a large audio driver and a high-resolution menu. Patched versions replace the graphical menu with a text-based RGUI (RetroArch Graphical User Interface) that uses a fraction of the VRAM. Patches also aggressively unload core assets after a game loads, freeing up the 64 MB of external RAM solely for the emulated system. retroarch wii patched
