Project 64 vs. 1964

btw mmcoder : WHAT?

 

[Smiff]

I think he was trying to take the piss out of me, but everyone's just going "what?" like you instead

 

[crhylove]

here's the real deal:

obviously any body that puts time into something as complex and unrewarding as console emu is not some selfish moron.

afaik, from irc chats and these forums, rice and schibo and strmn and dave and jabo are way cool dudes (and many, many others, but i feel these ones are relevant and immediately pertinent). they reflect a maturity that would stand above some crappy pissing contest in the forums.

unlike contrasf and others, they have the genius AND the over all mental maturity to deal with online n00bs etc.

and potential pissing contests, which i think smiff was over quick to name this as, the overwhelming majority of replies in this thread didn't seem pissy at all, but owning similar maturity to MANY of the non political irc chats i've been in.

except the whole #bearcave thing....

but hey, you know, a healthy preoccupation with gay irc chats is probably more common than anyone wants to admit. and yes, they are damn funny sometimes.

come back with any rom specific ?'s rocket man. download all the latest plugs/ems/drivers/inis/wrappers as they arrive. let us all know what your thoughts are.

welcome aboard!

Am I wasting my time worrying about because my specs are good enough that it won't matter?

bingo

Personally, 1964 runs better on my PC than PJ64 does. In all my replies to posts like these I always recommend to try all emulators out there and stay with the one that better suits your needs. Not just PJ64 and 1964. Some emu's work better on certain games than other emulators, so try all emulators available and then you can determine by yourself which is better and suits your needs. In my case, 1964 runs super stable on this PC, but I use PJ64 in certain games like Cruisn' The World. For other more CPU intensive games like Goldeneye 1964 outperforms PJ64 in speed, so, it all depends what you're trying to play and your system specs. Test the emulators and determine the differences yourself.

"I knew this thread would rapidly turn gay no matter how hard i try to keep it level... "

It's really craptastic when people grow two years older and become l33t sc3n3rz who act like they're above everyone. They're clearly angry kids intent on ruining EVERY FUCKING THREAD. (see Martin's recent posts.) That's what I was referring to. Don't mind me though, I'm OUT of here.

kthxbye

 

[Smiff]

lmao @ mmcoder, i'm not angry, and it happens I do know more about these things than most people (not all of course).... so what? It's not important is it... the l33t sc3n3rz thing to do would be to never talk with the general public. What i spend a lot of time doing is finding out what people want and trying to help give them that. If you don't want to learn or already know everything, feel free to go. And i get on fine with Martin and the other intelligent people around here. kthx

I'm impressed with the kind of responses here... maybe i was too harsh before, but where would that come from. hmm? Seeing a thousand similar topics go bad perhaps?

Smiff...

Thank God you exists :inlove:

{sorry this is so long, ranting a bit}
Ok what I don't understand is why one emulator has to be better then another emulator. Every emulator have is strong points, some have many things in common, and then they all has their own flaws, but who cares. Emulation isn't about who can run what faster, though this is a major goal for emu authors, the main point of an emulator is a challenge to see if you can get a piece of hardware/software to run on a platform it wasn't designed for, not for people to just download and play games for free.

It annoys the bloody hell out of me when I see a thread like this, I first tried to ignore this one but holy crap people, get some perspective on a subject before you dive right into it. You people who are just here to get Warez N64 ROMs from download sites to play them for free instead of on a console should be ashamed of yourselves. YOU’RE the people who make video game companies go out of business, you’re the kind of people that make emulators look like a way valid programmers are trying to rip off people, when this "Emulation Scene" is more of a place to see what a programmer is capable of accomplishing, and you’re the people that make companies like Nintendo and Sega announce that Emulation is illegal and get valid sites shutdown.

NOTE TO NEWBIES.::. If you are just here to download ROMs and Emulators for cheap entertainment, get the flying f**k out of here, you should think about what your doing. You are stealing from (mostly) small companies that are contracted by larger companies to make a game. You are sending a message to your favourite game developers that you believe their game is worthless and that its only worth of the game is the time it took you to download.

What if someday you create something, and people instead of buying a copy (being it software, a movie, a book, or any other object that can be copied) just went out and copied a friends copy, of just decided to steal it from your warehouse before you had a chance to sell it to a distributor?

That’s all I have to say, if you disagree with me I'll be sure to set you straight in continuing posts.

Hmm... You've got a point. However, I am sure that not everyone is as rich as you are, able to buy all those commercial games, I for one never had a chance to buy a console. Simply because my mom won't let me, so I got a computer instead, how the hell do you play N64 games on a comp? The only way is to use an emus with ROMs. I am sure that a lot of people feel the same, if you are never be able to buy a companies' game, I am sure the company who made that game wouldn't mind to let you play it.

You are talking the about keeping the gaming companies in business. I am sure that the ROMs most people download is all from all those rich *** companies whose CEOs have millions of dollars in their pockets and their games have already sold millions of copies. And for those poorer companies, there are rich gamers like you to support them , so I don't think they will go bankrupt unless all they make is really badbadbad games.

The world is unfair, some people are rich, they can buy all the games they want, some are poor, they can't buy any games. The only hope of a gaming company is to get the rich people buy their games, not of the poor.

Microsoft actually benefited from piracy, if no body could get a pirated copy of Microsoft Office, not a lot of people would not know how to use it, thus decreasing the popularity of the product dramatically. If the product is less popular, then its sales would go down, leading to further decrease in sales. In China and India only a very small amount of people could afford genuine software, and if they can’t get pirated versions then they probably would switch to a cheaper brand or just won’t buy it.


Peace out

I dunno Ra you seem to have a nice system to be speaking of "poor" but also you fail to realise that *most* companies are only in the industry to make money, therefore yes they do mind when even the poorer or misfortunate can't legitimately get their product, hey if it was up to me everyone would have the best and not have to work, but the world seems to be run by assholes and they look out for only their best interests and run over anyone they can (Hello Hitler ring a bell? how about Napolean?)...
look it all comes down to this, there are people out there who are much less fortunate than us keyboard jockeys with our fancy internet and high end electronics and our HOMES, unlike some of the misfortunate kids in Brazil (especially the ones who were killed by their own police force simply because they were homeless) but yeah we are all just all so terribly abused that we may not be able to afford a game or an OS for our oh so terribly depressive pos's of comps, or can't buy an N64 (boohoo) or more games for it...
God Damnit Stop Just thinking of yourselves!!!!
and for Rocket Man:
your not gonna find your answers here cause everyone is too busy having pissing contests and fighting about petty shit that they really do not have the right to complain about but if you still want some more info, you can email me ([email protected]) and i'll try to help you find what your looking for

ide have to say pj64 is the best because i downloaded just about every single n64 emulator (no im serious) and ONLY pj64 gave me good results, it plays all my ROMS, it has never crashed, and best of all its easy to use, when i got 1964 all i got was a big, fat error message, and when i didnt, my ROMS would go crazy, so (in my opinion) pj64 is the best, all the way
