^ Well.... It is possible?

this will never be possible.

i doubt it

Anything's possible.
Although this emulator might take about a couple of months before it's in playable speed.....
...if anyone tries to create one.

It is posible that you can do a emulator for X games (maybe a ¿20%?), but complete imposible. I doubt so much that Wii can with a "DC Full".

Months? Years. Dreamcast architecture != GC architecture. Emulating such would require a more powerful processor, lot's of code optimization, and a huge load of luck.
So in short: No, this is never gonna happen.

Actually there is a nullDCe port for Wii in the works.

actually i just found that. ported to broadway. nice!

NullDCe runs pretty well on Android device. Wii is more powerful than those device so...

Wii has barely enough RAM but if it were to happen I don't think it'd be too fast.

So? wiisx and wii64 are slow! and I'm still glad that someone made them......

but isn't the golden rule "emulated system x 4 = host system" when it comes to power?

It's 3x but you'll rarely do that. For example, the Wii converted code from N64 code is 10x the amount of instructions the N64 code was... but it doesn't mean you need 10x the power.

i have heard that die system which emulates an other system needs to be 7x faster than the original system.

It's hard to define 'faster'.
Clockspeed, resolution (scaling?), video card, architecture, it all matters.
