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 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 ([https://github.com/dh4/cen64-qt like CEN64-Qt]).

Disregard that, because his The CEN64 related videos are very particularly interesting. He did a frame dump 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. There are many parts of games shown that are notoriously difficult to emulate.
