is n64 emulation dying?
- Thread starter rcgamer
- Start date
It does seem that way doesn't it? N64 emulation is still far more important to me than any of the next-gen systems. I'm sure that someday, somebody will come along and reinvigorate the scene. No offense to the current emulators and their authors, but I'd like to see something completely new.

Well Orkin is apparently still working on his plugin, and Rice and Schibo have done somethings to 1964 too from what I read a while back. A few other authors are still doing little things here and there too AFAIK.
It'd be cool if there was a NestopiaN64, or a KegaFusionN64, or better still, MAMEN64. That'd be awesome.
I prefer FreezeSMS. I never cared for Meka's GUI, though the emulation quality is no doubt quite good.rcgamer said:
If anything could be done, it would be an option to overclock the emulated CPU, as in chankast. That would eliminate emulated constant slow-down on games such as Extreme G-2, Re-volt, Jet Force Gemini, ToyStory2(many others). The slowdown is pure emulation slowdown, as it copies the slowdown as a n64 would; shows the perfection of emulation, but it's TOO perfect.

Input & Video plugins has been updated 
Special Thanks to:
MadManMark (now releasing updated N-Rage 1.83)
Rice (now releasing v5.9.9)
Gonetz (a new version with nice new features will be arriving in some months) [and Hacktarux's wrapper too]
Orkin will be working again in his great DX9 plugin (we hope that) in a near future....
don´t forget Olivieryuyu and Federelli -> both 1964 (for Glide64) & Nemu64´s INI files
and Clements in the PJ64 one.
PS: BigHead has done a nice N64 Emulation Configuration List v2.8
Regards, GAB. - Merry Xmas

Perhaps if you did that, it'd just chop at a faster rate?loopsider said:

Dont know exactly what you are referring to, but if it is what I think it is: yes it would work. If the parts that slowdown are due to the limitation of the N64's emulated CPU (meaning they get to 100%-concluded by the fact that they slowdown on the real n64 as well!), then programming a higher limitation would take away the chops.
Im only comparing this to dreamcast, the two could be different.

If the timing is the problem though, then speeding up the rate of emulation will only serve to mess the timing up further?
I know what you mean about increasing CPU speed though - like Chankast with the CPU rate increasing ability.
