Your reason for N64 emulation?

I've been into emulation since the old Snes9X was out, but the n64 "scene" is the first emu to get me to BUY the console. Twice.
So I go to EB Games today...
Previously Owned n64 system (A/V cable, Power Pack and Grey Controller) - includes Perfect Dark - $19.99 USD
Vigilante 8 - $7.99
Conker's Bad Fur Day - $8.99
WCW/NWO Revenge - $4.99
The ability to play these with my girlfriend (also an avid gamer) - Priceless.

My first step into emulation was gameboy emulation in it's infancy on a 486 and boy was it slow. Of course Gameboy emulation now can run on a 486 full speed with a decent emulator.
My reason for N64 emulation is convinience, cost (although it is making me buy more real n64 games now) and performance/resolution.
One of the best things emulation has brought to the N64 in general is better games. A lot of N64 games had lower review scores because the framerate was bad (Jet Force Gemini is one example). Most games made by Rare had a pretty poor framerate on the N64. On the decent PC you don't notice what was once plaguing many N64 games...now if only I could overclock my n64 =p

What's that...?
ever since i've been apart of the scene, if i am even apart of it, i dunno, i haven't played n64 games using an emulator. the only system i was ever into playing was nes. however, like many others, i'm here for the technical side, to learn a few things, and to just watch the emu's progress.

It's interesting that a lot of people are here just for personal knowledge, I thought everyone was a warez junky! No, not really. I like to think I am in it solely for the game playing but with all my emulation stuff on my hard drive, not even being played, I realize that part of me just likes have and show off the technological wonder of playing console and arcade games on a PC. These forums are pretty much for education anyway, some people come here looking for help getting games working but they are inadvertently learning some of the technical side just by doing that.
Well it sure is amazing anyway...I wish I had the patience for coding but I just don't, my mind wanders so quickly and that is one of the reason's I play these games =p
well i started about 5 years ago because i could play 'secret of mana' on the snes emu and is was happy as can be but then i just got more and more roms, and started to learn what plugins work and how emus work what works with what and why and before you know it i'm on here help you guys out, and plus i'm lazy and cbf playing with a dodgy control stick and plus my xbox controller is more sexy! lol
