The '''Nintendo 64''' is a 64-bit fifth-generation console released by Nintendo on September 29, 1996, for {{inflation|USD|199.99|1996}}.
Nintendo was the second company approached by Silicon Graphics Inc. (SGI), which wanted to roll out its previously enterprise-only technology in the consumer space. They originally pitched their idea to Sega, but it's assumed that Nintendo's offer was more appealing. With the NEC VR4300 CPU clocked at 93.75 MHz, 4 MBs of RAM, and an SGI RCP GPU, Nintendo had finalized much of the hardware at least a year before launch, preventing video games from needing drastic rewrites as a result of architectural changes. A separate add-on was later released called the "[[#PeripheralsHardware features and peripherals|Expansion Pak]]" that added an additional 4 MBs of RAM, totaling to 8 MBs. The development workstations were often Unix-based, which would later help reverse-engineers in some projects.
Unlike competitors such as the PlayStation, the N64 used cartridges instead of CDs. While a big advantage was that data could be read faster than CDs, meaning that load times were minimal or even non-existent, the main disadvantage of cartridges was the small data capacity, which meant that many third party developers switched to the PlayStation.

:Rewrite of another Nintendo 64 emulator project "[https://github.com/SimoneN64/shibumi shibumi]" which is developed by the same developer. It already has a QT frontend with recent builds, but lack [[#Enhancements]] and support for [[#PeripheralsHardware features and peripherals]] [https://github.com/SimoneN64/Kaizen#roadmap]. [https://github.com/SimoneN64/Kaizen#running RDP is implemented via ParaLLEl-RDP] and also [https://github.com/SimoneN64/Kaizen#roadmap R4300i, RCP, TLB, joybus are fully implemented].
