Yes. You can do what I did. I tried all the emulators for 64 back when it was all still starting. None worked, so I dissappered for the emulation world, come back a year later or so and BAM, I found a great emulator (PJ64).
So if you go away and come back later, if you go away long enough, it'll work when you come back to it. Or you can just sit here and wait.
It will all work, eventually
