For those who do have a legitimate copy, the process of getting it running on PC or Steam Deck is well-trodden. Most emulators prefer the file format, though some Wii backups are in WBFS format, which can be converted. The widely-used Dolphin emulator runs GoldenEye 007 very well, and the speedrunning community has officially allowed its use, as modern versions of the emulator accurately replicate the original hardware’s performance. If you encounter issues, online forums often point to specific settings, such as ensuring the game is using a cIOS with an IOS57 base when running on an actual Wii. For the best experience, the default settings in Dolphin are often recommended as a starting point.
