[[File:Mario_Tennis_ParaLLEl_4x_Downsampled.png|left|260px|link=Recommended N64 plugins]]
 +
 +
The N64 emulation scene had previously been described as a broken mess, the very definition of plugin hell. With recent developments in the scene, however, the situation has markedly improved, and it is no longer considered necessary to have multiple emulators and plugins on hand to get most games to work. The '''[[recommended N64 plugins]]''' page will outline the best plugins currently available for the benefit of both the casual and enthusiast looking to get their N64 emulation fix.

The N64 emulation scene had previously been described as a broken mess, the very definition of plugin hell. With recent developments in the scene, however, the situation has markedly improved, and it is no longer considered necessary to have multiple emulators and plugins on hand to get most games to work. The recommended N64 plugins page will outline the best plugins currently available for the benefit of both the casual and enthusiast looking to get their N64 emulation fix.
