Nintendo 64 emulator

Ej guyz,

I've been playing on my ol' N64 for some days now. Nice - but the graphics are really dated. For example in Diddy Kong Racing and Mario64 there's lots of jaggies.

Now I know there are emulators for PC, which you can play your N64 games with and can upgrade the GFX (with filters, AA and all), when you dump your game cartridges to ROM-files. I'm currently researching how to do that and it's looking good.

What emulators can you recommand for N64? I hear Project64 V1.6 is good, but when I ran a demo-ROM (no commercial game), it wasn't all that good. Sound was stuttering and framerate not always solid. Any other alternatives? I run Vista by the way.

Thanks!

 

I run All the games fine with 60 FPS!
but Yoshi story is F..... Up!!

This is with Project 64.

 

Same here, the most known game like super smash or zelda work flawlessly but Vigilante 64(I think) I glitchy as hell.

 

project 64 is one of the best ones.

 

Project 64 for sure.

Still play MarioKart 64 with friends.

 

Thx for the replies! You guyz experience any sound issues with Diddy Kong Racing?

 

none. runs solid.

 

Project64 is the best indeed - but if you can, drop the $20 and become a member.
You'll be able to get the latest beta of v1.7, and it has some features that'll make your games look even better.
I can't really say what without getting in trouble, though.

 

Interesting .. I'll think about it!

 

Hmm.. it doesn't run well at all here. No matter what settings I throw at it. Could you give me your specific settings?

PM is also an option.

 

I prefer my SNES emulator Although I could probably go for some golden eye from n64.

 

Well I could use emulators ... or I could just pull the N64 out of my closet and get the real thing

 

i might have to download one of these...

does anyone know a good playstation emulator?

 

PSXe I think is the one I used to use. I had somebody steal my XenoGears disk so that was the only way I could go back to play it.

 

emulators suck. I only play the real things for the most part unless the game cant be found (unreleased stuff etc) emulation sucks

 

My picks.

PSX = ePSXe
N64 = Project64
PS2 = PCSX2
NDS/GBA = No$GBA

 

Sadly, my N64 keeps resetting when it gets hot, and my snes bit the dust. Sooo...emulation is the best thing.
zsnes is so cool. You can really smoothen out the lines to make it look up to date. I'd probably die if I didn't play Zelda:ALttP every once in awhile

 

I disagree. Emulation is pretty cool. If I'm playing officially licensed VC games on my Wii, or running Advance Wars on gpSPhone with my iPod Touch, I appreciate not having to lug all my cartridges (and game systems) around with me wherever I go.

Anyone who owns a Wii knows that emulation can be just as good as the real thing, if it's done right. For an authentic experience you will need a well coded emulator, a sufficiently powerful computer - and most importantly - a decent controller. The Wii's Classic controller, with homebrew PC drivers, has a similar feel to the SNES controller. A wired 360 controller would probably be the best way to play N64 games though, with some exotic adapters, it is possible to get a more authentic experience.

Though I will say right now: a QWERTY keyboard is not adequate for playing N64 games. For N64 you really need a proper thumbstick and buttons.

 

hey i'm thinkin about downloadin the PCSX2 beta.

but it says that "your system requires XP pro or XP home (sp2). would these emulators be compatible with vista systems?

and where do u download games from? is there a big directory of available games i can check out? thanks for the help, been lookin for somethin to occupy some of my time =P

 

those questions are forbidden to answer in this forum. we only talk about the emulators at most, we never link or show you how to download games.

you have to find that out yourself. sorry.

 

Thx guyz, PJ64 is great
