Wii2600 is a port of the Stella 2.7.2 emulator to the Wii.

Stella is a multi-platform Atari 2600 VCS emulator released under the GNU General Public License (GPL). Stella was originally developed for Linux by Bradford W. Mott, however, since its original release several people have joined the development team to port Stella to other operating systems such as AcornOS, AmigaOS, DOS, FreeBSD, IRIX, Linux, OS/2, MacOS, Unix, and Windows.

Current Status

Wii2600 is an ongoing work in progress. For the latest project information please visit the following URL:

Known Issues

Wiimote paddle support is a proof of concept at this point and as such is a bit buggy. The range of motion is currently very small. You must have the Wiimote aligned directly with the sensor bar.

- Taken from the Wii2600 homepage and/or documentation
- Some excerpts edited for grammar, length, and clarity

Also see StellaWii for another option for Atari 2600 games on the Nintendo Wii.

Wii2600 will not run on the Nintendo Gamecube, but Nuvalo wrote a Stella port called StellaGC that does.

Wii2600 is the best choice for playing 2600 games on the Nintendo Wii. Unlike most emulators that run on the Wii, this one runs natively (libogc). It`s ported from the popular VCS emulator Stella, so expect great compatibility and full speed. It has Wiimote paddle support, but for the best performance remember to align the Wiimote directly with the sensor. It`s one of two options for playing Atari 2600 games on the Nintendo Wii. The other is StellaWii, written by emulator author Nuvalo. Bazzie Bizzle.com recommends trying Wii2600 first, but if Wii2600 fails to play your favorite game or you have issues getting it to work, then StellaWii is a decent alternative. StellaGC will also run on the Nintendo Wii (in GameCube mode), but it has no Wiimote or nunchaku support. Honestly it wouldn`t make much sense to use StellaGC on the Wii because it`s more or less just an older build of StellaWii, but it will run nevertheless.
