N64 isn't worth emulating.

ParaLLEl is supposedly the most accurate.

I want Mischief Makers to get a remake.

>>15691510

It's dead and themaister is never going to finish it.

>>15691525

Banjo Kazooie.

>>15691510

ParaLLEl was a port of >>15691456 from CPU to Vulkan GPGPU, so you could run it on a potato with any reasonable GPU. Sadly it's dead now, but one can only hope somebody will make another Angrylion GPGPU port some day.

If the game you're playing doesn't have significant errors under the Rice plugin (which none of the games mentioned in this thread do), just use that in M64P. Note that the RetroArch frontend had a MASSIVE upgrade to its UI recently, so it's far more convenient to use now, and offers a number of exclusive latency-cutting features.

>>15691452 (OP)

I've used project64 for years and had 0 malware issues with it. If you're having them, it's most likely not related to the emulator.

However, if for some odd reason you do, going against the experience of thousands of other users, then Dolphin emulates n64 games as well.

>>15691945

What OP was complaining about did exist in the official installers for older versions (bundled adware for shekels), but the devs stopped doing it in v2.3 a couple years ago.

Some people are still sore about the devs stooping to that, even if they've stopped doing it.

>>15692013

Oh, didn't know that.

Well, if that's why he doesn't want to use it, then it's pretty understandable.

Dolphin (the gamecube/wii emu) also emulates n64 games pretty well, but I do get slight audio crackles when doing so on Dolphin, which I don't get at all on project64. They're very slight and only occasional, though.

>>15691945

pj64 was for a time riddled with malware. People generally don't use anything post v1.6 because the dev no longer has any credibility.

>>15692028

Do you actually know an antivirus works or did you just fall for a marketing tactic?

>>15692028

Like I said, they stopped a couple years ago, but a lot of former users are still angry at them for it.

>>15691452 (OP)

Mupen64plus

>>15691499

>He thinks Ogre Battle 64, Goldeneye64, Perfect Dark, Mischief Makes and Doom64 aren't worth emulating

Just kill yourself please

>>15691537

Is F-Zero X good?

>>15692064

Yes, played it a ton. Never tried X-Pansion though.

>>15692064

Oh, and Doom 64 isn't worth emulating, since the Night Dive guy made a flawless PC port:

https://doom.fandom.com/wiki/Doom64_EX

>>15691589

>Retroarch UI upgrade

I want to know more. Did they finally ditch the infuriating folder trees and let us set up our own folders, dependencies and etc? Nothing drove me more mental than having my perfectly organized ROM folders being completely ignored, along with most of my ROMs, ROM info etc. Got any screencaps?

>>15692671

Full M&KB-driven WIMP GUI instead of the retarded gamepad-driven XMB knockoff, access to your OS's native file picker, playlists can be completely ignored, RetroPad abstraction can be completely ignored.

Years upon years of Asperger's finally thrown in the trash where it belongs.

>>15691499

>implying those are even the best N64 games

>>15692699

Fucking finally. Thanks anon.

Does anything emulate DK64 good?

>>15692013

Wii's N64 virtual console can only play a very small pool of games specifically tweaked for it. Rom injections still end up buggy but for different reasons. If you just want to play those specific N64 games then Dolphin all the way but it's not really the go to option for any other game.

>>15692026

Didn't Project64 go open source?

>>15692084

Oh. Then scratch that off the list. Everything else though is N64-exclusive so that's a good reason to use a N64 emulator

>>15693711

An interesting counterexample is Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine, a port from far more powerful PCs to N64, but thanks to Factor 5 (universally regarded as the most talented N64 coders by a wide margin) graphics and controls were greatly improved.

**The game itself is a very solid and enjoyable Tomb Raider clone. But its story, characterization, worldbuilding, tone, and overall take on the franchise made my blood boil.*

Literally emulation.gametechwiki.com

Now name good games to play on N64 emulator.

>>15692049

>that spoiler

We've been getting steady stream of them recently thanks to Qanon bullshit. Stop calling them newfriends, call them newfaggots or newniggers like they are.

http://vsrecommendedgames.wikia.com/wiki/Nintendo_64

The N64 article actually isn't too badly Reddit-ed, aside from the heaps of party/sports shovelware

I don't think boomers play vidya

>>15691452 (OP)

Last I checked, they got rid of the malware a long time ago.

>>15691452 (OP)

None of them, N64 emulation sucks dick and most N64 games don't quite hold up (especially with the godawful control scheme that the N64 controller has).

>>15691452 (OP)

Been a long time since I emulated anything. What's this about PJ64 having malware?

>>15694639

I think it's people complaining about those optional downloads that came with the install wizard. If that's the case they deserve it for being too lazy to just click on decline.

>>15694279

>N64 emulation sucks dick

Lie.

>most N64 games don't quite hold up

Lie.

poorly coded XD

>>15692084

the Doom64 retribution mod was updated recently, It's less janky than the dead port imo.

>>15692037

Fell for a marketing tactic. That or I just made a retarded assumption.

>>15692049

Haven't been on halfchan since August of 2014, but I'm not on /v/ as much as I am on other boards, so sometimes I accidentally show my inexperience with /v/, like when I just walked into that malware faux pas.

>>15695484

I can't speak for recent releases of PJ64 but I dropped it when it came with mandatory adware/donation begging built into the program. This wasn't an "optional install" or something, it was baked in. Think WinRAR but you have to sit and stare at the "WinRAR isn't free pls give us money" window for x seconds before moving past it.

>>15693770

That's list's actually lacking a few things, surprisingly. Doesn't even have Wetrix, Star Solider, Dezaemon 3D, or Chameleon Twist 2.

using with clean pj64, scroll down for latest builds. runs mystical ninja fullspeed full AA. i have yet to see a single emulator run it nicely, unless something got updated the past 8 months. every other game i've tested ran and looked perfect.

https://github.com/gonetz/GLideN64/issues/1574

>>15702520

Try vigilante 8.

>>15705848

>Does it usually fatal error? first time i've heard of this game.

No, I don't think that would get the Nintendo seal of quality.

>Emulation

Go dig out the original hardware from your parents attic you fuck, emulation is nothing compared to the original experience.

If you don't own a working one for some reason, get one. You should also have a decent CRT TV to play retro games whenever you want.

>>15691452 (OP)

PJ64 hasn't had malware in about 100 years mate.

>>15692733

>Didn't Project64 go open source?

Nope. The currently available source code is more than two years old. Newer versions are developed behind closed doors and released behind a paywall.

>>15710430

> Top Gear Rally

Fuck yeah

> Custom paint jobs

My nigger.

I spent hours doing paint jobs in TGR and Coolboarders 2 on PSX. The game got stupid hard in later stages when you had vehicles going way too fast for the tracks where you were travelling at such speed that every bump would bounce you to the fucking moon.

>>15708966

>240p, and broken controllers

No.

>>15710769

>240p is bad

Yeah if you're trying to play it on an HD tv like a retard.

>broken controllers

Mine are still in great shape, but I never let any niggers play Mario Party on it.

>>15710769

Nice to spot a gen Z fag like you early

>>15712268

>everyone keeps a stock of perfect CRTs and pristine N64 controllers lying around

I don't even have space for another TV.

>>15712289

>CRTs

Goodwill

>perfect

You're asking too much

<pristine N64 controllers

>buy shit N64 controller from local retro store/ebay

>replace stick

>have pristine N64 controller for less than $10

>>15712289

No CRT is perfect, go on a classifieds site and look around for either a free or relatively cheap one. Always inspect it beforehand, sometimes there's some really nice ones that just need a bit of TLC.

Controllers aren't hard to come by, and they're relatively cheap. The resolution isn't a problem if you're playing it on a TV actually designed for the system… If you're using an upscaler or some sort of converter you're retarded.

Having a good physical collection is important, prices are only going to go up.

>>15692024

Just use the libretro fork of mupen. Its not hard

>>15712268

Nigger, I was there. N64 games past the first couple years looked like shit, ran like shit. When the first emulators like True Reality and SixtyForce showed up, I dropped that shit for full rez on a crystal clear monitor with actual texture filtering and overclock with speedfix.

>>15712319

>The resolution isn't a problem if you're playing it on a TV actually designed for the system

…and you're blind.

>>15712334

>My Everdrive 64 handles every N64 game flawlessly

Question for all you scalperfags: Why are flash carts so insanely expensive? The crappy FPGAs they use are about $10 a piece in quantity, yet they START AT $100, and go WAAAY up from there.

>>15712862

>with actual texture filtering and overclock with speedfix

and glitches up the ass too, but well it ran OoT almost fine i guess that was enough for you, i think these couldn't run games like Ogre Battle 64 well into the 2000's

>>15716059

Most N64 owners didn't buy the things for "old fashioned" 2D sprite-based games. Since the N64 was the first console I played much as opposed to computer games, I probably had an even snottier attitude about console-style 2D games, too.

>>15716275

You are partially right but the sales pitch of every console back then was graphics, N64 owners also bought it because much like the NES and SNES, as the next nintendo console, it was expected to have a huge library with quality stuff, nobody expected it to suck so much at doing 2D games, and many still wanted them. There was an actual resentment over Nintendo making some games 3D, like Mario 64, it was for many considered a spin off game and not a "real" mario game.

>>15717660

>nobody expected it to suck so much at doing 2D games, and many still wanted them

Maybe the equivalent of us, but back in the 90s, but I wouldn't call that "many". Every kid was on board with 3D at the time.

>>15717703

All right, you caught me. Still, even on a consumer grade CRT it still looks better than emulation (not to mention the lack of display lag). Honestly though I just wanted to point out that CRTs can look fucking amazing.

>>15717703

Oh, and a few people may have played FFVII on a Sony Trinitron back in the day, which they did make consumer grade versions of. It wouldn't have looked much different from my PVM.

>>15717713

>Still, even on a consumer grade CRT it still looks better than emulation

Why not both?

>>15717718

Not opposed to emulation at original resolution on a CRT, in fact that sounds pretty great so long as the emulator is faithful.

>>15692024

how do you use the dolphin thing? where do you get roms for it?

>>15717730

>asking to be spoonfed

If you're too stupid to figure out how to use an emulator that has tons of instructions on its' website, then you don't deserve to play it. Likewise if you couldn't be bothered to do the 5 seconds of searching required to find out where to get ROMs.

>>15717932

>That's already about what it looked like on PC

Not really because old PC games were still displayed on CRT monitors.

>>15717943

CRTs were razor sharp unless you bought trash. Mine at the time went up to 1280x1024, I had to turn it DOWN to 640x480 to play most games, and I could make out every pixel flawlessly.

>>15717939

yikes, who hurt you?

>>15717694

Do I have to take out my physical copy of FFVII?

>>15717959

1) CRTs don't have pixels

2) they still had scanlines, and looked different from the totally unfiltered look you're posting

>>15717960

Kill yourself subhuman.

>>15717960

>yikes

>who hurt you

My bad, I thought you were just a retard, I didn't know you were intentionally baiting.

>>15718033

No but I have a Trinitron PVM. I was planning on getting a Trinitron monitor later. Still not unfiltered: has an aperture grille. Also CRTs don't have pixels, it's just the shadowmask/aperture grille. Analog has no pixels, it's just rays of light being shot around.

>>15718118

>rays of light being shot around

Rays of electrons being shot at phosphors

Either way, unlike SDTVs (especially those using something awful like antenna, composite, Y/C, or YPbPr), PC CRTs easily resolve every pixel in a video frame.

>>15718159

>YPbPr is bad

Not really.

>PC CRTs easily resolve every pixel in a video frame

Just because you don't see the aperture grille doesn't mean it's not there or that it's not affecting the image. One way or another ignoring the effects of CRTs on old games is just foolish which was my point. Mind you, you seem the sort to play games above their intended original resolution. Not all ports are created equal my friend and the way Snake's face looks in >>15717932 makes me want to throw up.
