No A native Wii and GameCube runner with dual-screen support is essentially a console emulator. Emulators like Dolphin took large expert teams years to build, and the hardware-specific performance tuning is extremely hard.
What it would actually take: This requires a cycle-accurate or JIT-based PowerPC and Gekko/Broadway CPU emulator, a GPU backend translating the console's graphics pipeline to Vulkan or OpenGL, and audio DSP emulation. Expertise in low-level emulation, GPU programming, and performance optimization on ARM handhelds is essential. Users must supply their own game dumps.
