For half a decade, Mupen64Plus and Project64 have vied for the DS most playable emulator, and 3DS have other solutions relying either which has been more compatible has depended on recent dedicated hardwarewhen and in what configuration each emulator has been tested.

For PS1 games, make sure you rip the disc as a BIN+CUE rather than a single ISO file.==Emulation issues=={{Main|Recommended N64 plugins}}
While you The Nintendo 64 emulation scene can play PS1/PS2 discs directly from your PCbe described as a hot mess. It got to that point because of the overall emulation scene's optical drive climate in some the early days, which was to stub off certain components of the emulated hardware as plugins. (Other consoles weren't immune to this phenomenon; it also happened to [[PlayStation emulators (ePSXe |the first PlayStation]].) Developers underestimated the complexity of the system, and older mednafen releases with little demand for PS1improvements beyond getting the popular titles working from beginning to end, PCSX2 most emulator developers stuck with the codebases they knew for PS2) it wears the disc as long as possible and never integrated any of the optical drive plugins that were needed to make up a full project, or merge their codebases into one project. And because almost no documentation is available for clean-room reverse engineers, figuring out how the hardware actually functioned had to be done manually, which took longer you use it. The unfortunate result of this is that many games require specific plugin arrangements and specific emulators in order to run well, hence why itand there is no viable alternative that isn's not recommendedt just an iteration on the existing plugin-based emulators.
====PS Classics One of the biggest hurdles to emulating the Nintendo 64 is the Reality Display Processor (PS1C PSPRDP), PS1C PS3one of two components in the Reality Coprocessor made by SGI. The Reality Display Processor was the most powerful consumer-grade GPU at the time of the console's release; this was a selling point that Nintendo wanted to emphasize as a result of working with SGI. However, PS2C PS3)====Sony also has reverse engineering efforts for popular Nintendo 64 games showed that Nintendo's software development kit included a digital distribution service common microcode for their old PS1 and PS2 gamesthe RDP. The selection is limited considering Sony prohibits any kind It's possible Nintendo didn't want to give developers access at a lower level out of fears that doing so would damage consumer units, but that meant most of modification the effort spent emulating the RDP would go towards figuring out how to handle the ISO data compared microcode.
'''For PS1 Classics * Most developers in 1999 and the early 2000s opted to approximate functions through various APIs such as Direct3D, OpenGL, and even Glide.

==GameCube/Wii=====With a PC's Optical Drive[[Texture filtering]]===Only some out-of-print models of DVD drives may read GC The Nintendo 64 was the first consumer device to be able to filter textures when rendering 3D objects. However, unlike every console and Wii discsPC graphics card made after the N64, mainly from LG (compatibility list [https://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-howto-dump-wii-or-gamecube-games-with-pc-no-wii-needed here]). Even thenits implementation of bilinear was primitive in that, Windows won't recognize in order to reduce strain on the disc system, it only used three samples as valid. You'll need a tool like Rawdump or Friidump opposed to dump itfour, resulting in slightly jagged textures. Make sure you convert Instead of faithfully applying this "imperfect" version of bilinear filtering, HLE plugins instead apply conventional filtering, interpolating straight from the dump source texture up to ISO formatthe output resolution the same way a PC game would. While that method is technically superior, it can result in textures that look even blurrier than on real hardware.

It is not FAT32 just a Nintendo 64 with special hardware designed for the station.<ref name="Sixty Formula">{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMbjvGvPkV4|title=The Pokemon Snap Station|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=2018-06-17|date=2016-05-21}}</ref><ref name="MetalJesusRocks">{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_UGpRN6AnM&t=3m35s|title=VIDEO GAME KIOSKS - Extreme Game Collecting!|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=2018-06-17|date=2016-05-25}}</ref> Although the special cartridge boots in emulators compatible with the regular version, the printing functions are inaccessible due to no emulation of the printer for the player 4 slot, credit system, or NTFS here's how the special board to format on a Windows computerswitch between the regular and special cartridges.

These disks had more space at a cheaper manufacturing cost. The peripheral was a commercial failure and/or tools was never released outside of Japan. Internal evidence suggests that can dump , much like the GBA games e-->===With Homebrew (On 3DS)===To jailbreak your 3DSReader, refer to [https://3ds.guide 3ds.guide]it wasn't even intended for a European release.
* CEN64, like Project64, had 64DD emulation ported to it from MAME. However, it focuses on accuracy and plays much slower than other emulators, aside for the 64DD emulation itself is imperfect. ===iQue Player emulation===Before the GBA, DS, and 3DS, Nintendo released a modified version of their Nintendo 64 system for the Chinese market, which was called the iQue Player, through their not-quite-subsidiary iQue. Fourteen games were translated into Simplified Chinese, including Sin and Punishment, Ocarina of Time (the Majora's Mask port was canceled), Super Mario 64, and others. Unlike the Chinese releases of their more recent systems and their games, iQue Player releases are regular N64 roms wrapped with several layers of encryption, as well as a ticket and signature system like that on Wii, DSi, 3DS, Wii U and Switch. The Chinese ROM-hacking scene is very active though and has translated the Japanese regular N64 releases for many of these to their language already, which explain some of the Chinese ROMs floating for those. However, recently, almost all pieces of iQue Player software were decrypted to regular .z64 ROM format. Several of the Chinese game localizations already run on N64 emulators, but as some hardware features of the iQue Player are not yet supported, some games, as well as the system menu and features in games such as saving, do not work yet. ===Aleck 64 arcade emulation===Nintendo collaborated with SETA to release an arcade system based on their Nintendo 64 system (kind of like their PlayChoice-10 for the NES, Super System arcade hardware for SNES, and later Triforce for GCN and Wii U). The Nintendo 64-variant with more RAM, the Aleck 64, failed to catch on and bombed. It was never released outside Japan, even though one N64 port made it. The Aleck 64 ROMs were dumped, and Zoinkity is working on converting them to regular N64 ROMs (with controls remapped to N64 controller buttons). They generally require an 8MB Expansion Pak to run at all and 4K EEPROM to save settings and scores. The ones covered by these patches are: * Donchan Puzzle Hanabi de Doon!* Eleven Beat: World Tournament* Hi Pai Paradise* Kuru Kuru Fever* Magical Tetris Challenge* Mayjinsen 3 / Meijin-Sen* Star Soldier: Vanishing Earth (also ported to N64)* Super Real Mahjong VS* Tower & Shaft* Vivid Dolls (official eroge game on a Nintendo console) The already available [http://assemblergames.com/l/threads/aleck64-on-retail-consoles-poc.55041/ patches] to convert arcade ROM dumps to regular N64 ROM format can be found [http://micro-64.com/database/aleck64.shtml here]. The remaining ones from the system's library not yet covered are:* Hi Pai Paradise 2* Rev Limit* Variant Schwanzer ==Virtual Console games in Dolphin==Some N64 games are emulated well on a Virtual Console game through Dolphin. The system requirements are much higher, but it's doable for many games. The following games are on the N64 Virtual Console for Wii: {|width="100%"|- valign="top"|* 1080 Snowboarding* Bomberman Hero* Cruis'n USA* Custom Robo V2 (Japan only)* F-Zero X* Kirby 64: The Crystal Stars* The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask* The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|* Mario Golf* Mario Kart 64* Mario Party 2* Mario Tennis* Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber* Paper Mario* Pokemon Puzzle League|* Pokemon Snap* Sin & Punishment (English)* Star Fox 64* Super Mario 64* Super Smash Bros.* Wave Race 64* Yoshi's Story|} ==Notes==<references group=N /> ==References==<references/> {{Nintendo}} [[Category:Consoles]][[Category:Home consoles]][[Category:Fifth-generation video game consoles]][[Category:Nintendo consoles]][[Category:FAQsNintendo 64 emulators|*]]
