WTF Icono!?! Can you stop thinking you're right about everything, especially after a plugin author had to correct every single one of your points before on another topic. You're not the end-all judge of N64 emulation. You just have to start arguments about every point I make, don't you?
Its the easiest out of the box, after that it IS about par with others since they all have very similar interfaces. You said yourself here...
Yes, Jabos 1.6 does'nt give any one shit. Does Direct V0.5 or Rice's plugin? Yeeesss.
So you say right here it's best for beginners which means it easier, does'nt it?! If it less to configure at first and the default graphics plugin is extremely compatable then it's eeeeaassier. YEEEESSS. I believe in front of all of us here, a complete contradiction for Iconocast who said "its not the easiest to use" but that its "best emulator for 'beginners'". How could both those be true? Hmm...
I actually DID mean to put the word "except" before Mupen when I said that. So it should have said "...higher than most others (except Mupen) and...". My bad. Mupen does seem to play it all. I was talking about how 1964 can't play Kirby and Star Wars Racer properly without weird core bugs. And until you play those 2 games all the way to the end of the game on 1964, do not comment. They have bad Logic problems and do not function properly at moments-game-halting moments. What games does 1964 emulate that PJ64 does not? Mupen is great and has nice features like per rom plugins (though soon to PJ1.7) and video recording (ditto) and the multi-OS compatability. If you have Linux or a Mac, then this IS the emulator for you.
And PJ1.7 auto refresh rom lists...
It does have nice FB notification but it does not work well with Glide64 and current wrappers, making that feature not really applicable. Crashes on exit and have to get the Task Manager out to shut er down. So its not completely solid. But again, the Cheats thing is pretty major feature that ALOT of people care about. It nice to have around, to have fun with or to get past a difficult part. I know Hacks will implement that some day, for now that's a very attractive selling point for PJ64. Again PJ64 is the most well rounded emu which has everything that most people need, generally speaking, a clean, simple UI and you just don't need to fuss around with it to get playing all your games well.
I was just stating that this feature is available, not that its the greatest. But as you said, people use it, and that's what matters.
Have you ever used 1964?!It is unstable, especially compared to the likes of Mupen and PJ64. Exiting fullscreen is like a 50/50 shot of not hard locking your system after playing for a while. It was my main emu for years (1964 0.9) so I know for personal experience. It froze alot, the save states didn't work that well, and using Azimer's latest audio plugins cause the emu to crash upon loadind a second game. I could not have Glide64 as my default plugin because it would not allow other plugins (assigned to a rom) to boot that rom. The emu would simply disappear. Anyone whose spent time with this emu knows its not as stable as others or even the version before it and that's why it has the reputation it does! Do you listen to anyone else!?!
It is not triple speed (but if you have a shit computer, you can use 1964). With PJ1.7, you can use whatever RSP you want, though PJ's IS the best, while Hack's RSP is good for slower computers. Per rom plugins is about here and there's no stuttering on PJ1.7 with my computer. Who really cares about speed increase or decrease, how about games run at the speed they supposed to. Again both 1964 and Mupen are terrific emulators, depending on what features you're looking for, one of those might be the best for you. But generally speaking, PJ64 does an exceptional job at giving people what they want out of their N64 experience.
We'll see....and not being able to use Jabo's 1.7 GFX plugin is MAJOR...I think the websites and the ratings and the fan club and just the sheer amount of people in this forum, says it all. It is popular and for good reason.j64:
