wii specs
polycounter lvl 19
this should go into the 2d 3d area of the forum, and I guess it will later, but does anyone have specs for developing wii games?
the reason I ask; the next challenge will be using wii specs, but no-one is quite sure what they are!

Personally I think it would be safe to say maybe the same modeling specs as Half Life 2 ..maybe ...although from what I have seen of the games it does not have the same high quality shaders or HDR
polygons on screen, polygons for characters, texture sizes etc.
And hawken, if you want numbers, tell us what you want numbers of... Are we making an enviro, a character, a figthing game character, an RTS vehicle? What?
243 MHz ATI "Hollywood" GPU
24MB "main" 1T-SRAM
64MB other 1T-SRAM
3MB texture memory on GPU
Beyond that, not much can be found about either the GPU or the CPU. From certain videos, it is apparent that the GPU is capable of using several shaders, but who knows
The first Xbox had a 733mhz Celeron based processor and the GPU was an nVidia custom 233mhz chip that was supposedly based off the GF3 but had many features from the GF4 line.
Because PPC chips are more powerful at lower clocks and because of the 1t-ram I'm guessing it's a bit more powerful than the Xbox.
With the 64+24mb memory available, I'm guessing 512x512 maps for main characters. Based off the GPU, I would say that you could probably get like 2500-3000 for main chars
i'd be interested to know more about this as well, though.
