It is rapidly progressing to a usable state, and is already capable of playing some commercial ROMs with only minor issues. However, due to its extreme focus on accuracy, it will also require good hardware to play at decent speeds. The emulator does not have sound processing nor a UI yet, although there are already quite a few good unofficial frontends available.

CEN64 is slightly unoptimized at this point. However, there are reports of people being able to run the emulator at decent framerates using at least a 3570K, and the performance is getting slightly better with each release. MarathonMan is aiming for system requirements on the level of BSNES. Whether or not that's possible remains to be seen.

Disregard that, because their CEN64 videos are very interesting. They modded CEN64 to give it frame-dumping capabilities, and used that to make these videos. Notice how many of the games shown are almost completely accurate to their console counterparts, save for a few hiccups. There are many parts of games shown that are notoriously difficult to emulate.

-'''CEN64''' aims to become a cycle-accurate open-source [[Nintendo 64 emulators|Nintendo 64 emulator]] for Windows, Linux and macOS that is still in very early development.
+CEN64 is slightly unoptimized at this point.

-==Overview==
-One of the emulator's branches is based on [[Recommended N64 plugins|Angrylion]]'s MAME video implementation, which is highly accurate, although MarathonMan wants to write his own RDP in the future. The goal is to add additional full-cycle accuracy.
-It was rapidly progressing to a usable state and is capable of playing many commercial ROMs with only minor issues. However, due to its extreme focus on accuracy, it will also require good hardware to play at decent speeds. It also lacks [[Dynamic recompilation|dynarec]]. The emulator does have sound processing but not a UI, although there are already quite a few good unofficial frontends available ([https://github.com/dh4/cen64-qt like CEN64-Qt]).

-* [https://www.youtube.com/user/gamspony/videos gamax92's "If CEN64 ran at full speed" video series]. The CEN64-related videos are particularly interesting. Gamax92 dumped the frames of a select number of games and put the images together into movies to show what the games would look like if there weren't any performance issues. Notice how many of the games shown are almost completely accurate to their console counterparts, save for a few hiccups.
