It is rapidly progressing to a usable stateopen-source [[Nintendo 64 emulators|Nintendo 64 emulator]] for Windows, Linux and macOS that is already capable of playing some commercial ROMs with only minor issues. However, due to its extreme focus on accuracy, it will also require top-end hardware to play at even passable speedsstill in very early development.

The goal is to add additional full cycle accuracy.*It is rapidly progressing to a usable state and is already 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]] until the next core rewrite is completed. The emulator does have sound processing but not a UI yet, although there are already quite a few good unofficial frontends available ([httphttps://archivegithub.orgcom/downloaddh4/MESScen64-0qt like CEN64-Qt]).149 CEN64 is slightly unoptimized at this point.BIOSHowever, there are reports of people being able to run the emulator at decent frame rates using at least an Intel i5 4670K, and the performance is getting slightly better with each release.ROMs/MESS-0MarathonMan is aiming for system requirements on the level of bsnes.149Whether or not that's possible remains to be seen.BIOS ==External links==* [https://www.ROMsyoutube.zipcom/user/gamspony/MESS%200videos gamax92's "If CEN64 ran at full speed" video series] The CEN64 related videos are particularly interesting.149%20ROMs%2Fn64Gamax92 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.zip pifromNotice how many of the games shown are almost completely accurate to their console counterparts, save for a few hiccups.bin/pifdata.bin]
