![]() * The only time I do use an N64 emulator is when testing a rom hack of Goldeneye or Perfect Dark when I'm at work (and skiving off!) as of course I don't have my N64 with me then. Plus sadly it's looking like Cen64 might have been abandoned, to judge from the lack of activity on it's official forum (see: ), though it's not a major problem at the moment because probably no existing PC is yet powerful enough to run a cycle-accurate N64 emulator at full speed. There are two cycle-accurate N64 emulators in development (Cen64, and the N64 part of the emulator called MESS), which in theory will run every N64 game with 100% authenticity, but they are a long way from complete as yet. ![]() But it's more than fifteen years since then so by now I'd have thought that N64 emulators would automatically know which plug-ins are the best for a given situation and so not need any user interaction but that wasn't the case the last time I tried N64 emulation.Īnyway apparently current emulation of the Gamecube and the Wii is better/more accurate than current N64 emulation. I know there must have been good reasons for N64 emulators to have plugins and lots of options back when they were first released different plug-ins allowed different people to work on improving graphical/audio/control-related etc aspects of the emulator, plus different people have differently capable PCs, so one PC could run a more accurate plugin, whereas a slower PC could be made to run a less demanding plug-in that was less accurate than the more demanding plug-in. I've not really tried N64 emulation in a couple of years* (I use the real console plus an Everdrive 64 flash cartridge, the latter is great for running modded/hacked N64 games), but when I have tried N64 emulation, it's often been problematic even if I do hit on the best combination of the right emulator, the right version of that emulator, the right plug-ins, and the right settings for those plugins. Actually I've found it downright unplayable, granted I haven't tried in a couple years. N64 emulation has also been very far from perfect.
