Best Emulater For The N64

[REXT]

We've all taken a n64 emulater out for a spin BUT if you still havent i seriously recommend you try one.
Well those of you who have tried one .WHICH N64 EMULATER IS THE BEST???
I personally think the best is Project 64

[ridley]

that is a matter of opinion although pj64 is the best but the 1964 is decent

[Ex Dark]

for me is project 64...it has frame skip (F4) :p and almost all the roms can be played whitout problems........oh and it already comes whit cheats for each game :p :p

[ridley]

lol what are u talking about?
most of the games have either a graphics flicker,bad roms,audio problems,you can only use 2 or 3 buttons at the same time making it impossible to play skateboarding and bike games. and others.

[Kameo]

Maybe U should try and get Urself a joystick then because I'm not having any problems at all with my controls.

As for the graphics, try a OpenGL plug in, works great, I have no flickering screen what so ever and 85% of my N64 ROMz R fully supported in PJ64, I have a fullset so that should say enough ;).

For sounds I'd say Jabo's Direct sound is doing a great job, I have 0 problems with it, how come U do have them??

[Megadeth078]

You should definitely go with Project 64, even though I'm kinda ****ed off that it won't play paper mario well and I couldn't find a better graphics plugin. :mad:

But that is the only game I've had problems with...

Preoject64 is the way to go if you're trying to emulate ROMs. It can emulate the most ROMs in the best quality, overal, then any other emulator.

[Iconoclast]

OK, you know what? Why don't I just put it this way?

ALL the emulators for the Nintendo 64 SUCK! Especially Project64!

I just posted advanced details on emulator and plugin advantages. It does not give off the nicest graphics. The emulator has little or mostly even NOTHING to do with graphics quality; it's the plugin, and Project64's graphics plugin is not the best. I've seen Project64 process **** for graphics where other emulators processed them fine.

So? Project64 can emulate more games then any other emulator. And it emulates them fine.

So? Project64 can emulate more games then any other emulator. And it emulates them fine.Cite your information. Who told you that, and where did you get it? No one, that's who. You're making up lies. You expect me to just say, "Oh, duh, I didn't know that, I guess it isn't so bad, then," and walk away from a false statement. Project64 can't even emulate half of the games without some kind of graphical error without using the other emulators to fix them in conjunction.

I mean, Jesus ****ing Christ; Project64 is the only Nintendo 64 emulator you've ever even tried in your life for a long enough time to compare, so how can you just make up crap like that?

Where do I get that? From my own experience. I have never wanted to play a game that didn't work, except for that Gamebooster game, which I really didn't care about. I just wanted to see what it was.

Project64 can't even emulate half of the games without some kind of graphical error? Well why the hell would I care? If the game works, then it works. No need to get your panties in a bunch.

No need to get your panties in a bunch.If you don't care, then you resign your argument with me. You just said Project64 is the best overall with graphics quality. If you don't care that I proved that wrong, you forgot your point.

You have no way of knowing it is, in ANY way whatsoever, better than all of the other emulators, you've never heard anyone say it, you've never seen it; you've only just made it up. The only experience you've ever had in N64 emulation is with Project64, or else you would know better. Or you have used other emulators, but you never got to know them well enough.

I said that the quality best overall, not that it's perfect, learn to read.

And I'm tired of you're dumb**** remarks. I know that it's the best emulator with my expeience. What the hell does that do with with anything else?

And about the part marked in red, that's an example of your bull**** arrogancy.

And about the part marked in red, that's an example of your bull**** arrogancy.Funny, how, the closer I am to getting you to realize that you were wrong about a minor little something, the more upset you are about it. That would be arrogant, indeed. You must hide thoughts from getting to you, I see.

I just said you said the quality is best overall; I didn't say you said that it was perfect, did I? Learn to read, and learn to post. Such sheepishness. Besides, how does that have anything to do even the slightest bit with the sentence in my post you highlighted in red? Well, as the old saying goes, "Wise men talk because they have something to say; fools talk because they have to say something." So just keep posting; it's rather entertaining, comedy-wise.

It's the best emulator with your experience because it's the only emulator you've ever used enough to really know. Don't challenge my N64 experience with your newbie N64 experience, arrogant mortal!

I think you forgot everything you said, or else you'd know what you really said is that Project64 is the best with graphics quality overall. Emulators have nothing to do with graphical quality, so that statement was extremely ignorant. And since you like to argue with people and refuse to admit you're wrong, you just start playing dumb in this post, acting like you didn't understand a thing I said. So, it looks like you didn't post anything valid this time, when I've just finished prooving that Project64 sucks compared to all of the other emulators combined. Really, now, I gave up talking to you in that other thread; what makes you think it isn't right for you to give up posting in this thread? You have no valid points, whatsoever.

[pizzaman]

Okay dude, I'm tired of this. What the hell do you care? I siad my opinion, and you said yours. Why do you have to get all upset and make up BS about you're theorys on how everything revolves around you?

Project64 is the best emulator so far. And that is my last words in this thread. I'm not gonna play your childish arguing games.

Everything you just said about me is true about you, not me. I did not make up crap about my theories; those were justified arguments proving that Project64 is the WORST emulator so far compared to everything else combined. Everyone thinks it's the best, but not so. You didn't give your opinion, you said, from EXPERIENCE, Project64 is the best emulator if you want to emulate ROMs, which is stupid, because all emulators do that. I was only trying to prove to you that that is false, and now you acuse me of making up stuff? You are so arrogant, that though you know your opinion is wrong, you can't ever admit it.

That opinion you gave was misinforming. The only answer to best N64 emulation is trying all of the different combinations of emulators and plugins with them for every game you have to see which gives you the best result, not to say, "Project64 is the only emulator I've used, but it works OK to me, so I'd say it's the best emulator for quality." I don't want to argue with you about 2 + 2 is 4. I suppose if you accidentally said 3, you'd still argue and accuse the person who corrected you of crap that actually applies to you only. That's very arrogant and spoiled, so go ahead and don't reply to this; I don't want to hear another word from you about simple facts that everyone else should understand. Conclusion: You know your opinion was wrong, all you can do now is acuse me of stuff, nothing to justify your opinion now, so stop the goddamn arguing and learn some social skills.
