Why would someone make an emulator for a console with no games?

Doesn't Mario Party desync because of all the RNG?

of course it works.
But not every N64 game is on Virtual Console.

Perfect Dark did not age well though I agree with your point.

DKC 2 is still fun to play.

What's the deal with emulators? Why's there an emu? Why's he late? Did he miss the bus or something, trying to fit that neck in the doorway. Maybe if he was an emusooner he'd be better off

Nintendo made some crazy hardware that isn't easy to emulate.

A lot of people don't realize how many problems P64 has because they only want to use it for Mario 64 and OoT. It works fine with the most famous games but has tons of issues with a lot of other ones.

>>340421512
Yeah, however the complete documentation of it is on the internet for about 20 years already.

>>340421461
The installer is bundled with malware

Has anyone ever made a compatability wiki for n64 emulators?

Dolphin has one, I'd like to know if I should bother playing an N64 game of if it's just gonna fuck up halfway through
>>
>>340421692
Usually those games are shit so who cares.
Other than first party games why would I even bother going back to the N64?
Even then the Rare games didn't age well(especially PD/GE007).

Not all games work perfectly well on dolphin aswell but Melee(let's be honest it was the reason to own a GC) does and most people don't complain.
>>
Because only losers still wants to play N64

>>340421941
>Not all games work perfectly well on dolphin
No, but it's compatability is insanely way higher than N64's

It also now tries to trick you into installing malware whenever you install it. That alone is reason to boycott it.

>Architecture of N64 makes it harder to emulate versus most consoles
>Lack of games outside of Mario and Zelda that anyone would give a shit about

And I would think that anyone who's talented enough to create a functional emulator would be more focused on a PS3 emulator, Wii U emulator, etc.
>>
>Try to play yoshis island
>Half the graphics don't even load

PC truly is the master race.
>>
>>340422838
I cant believe it's 2016 and people still try to claim "It's because the rest of the games are shit"

People who make emulators have never done it to emulate games they want to emulate.
But you're right about the ridiculous architecture

>Need to upgrade PJ64 versions for whatever reason (I think it was that 4 player OoT patch)
>Speed through the install like always

>Any complaint is immediately silenced with dozens of sycophants trying to justify it
It's times like that which make me appreciate anonymous imageboard culture, despite all the baggage this format brings along. Fuck forums.

You mean Yoshi's Story? Emulate the Wii version
>>
Most of the programmers young enough to put a huge amount of their time into something that's free and possibly illegal are too young to have played the N64

It is better than using any n64 emulator out there. Just shows how good Dolphin is. You can probably find N64 rom injects for games that were not released in virtual console but not all games work (every rare game, for example). But every game that had problems with graphics like Paper Mario and Yoshi's Story can be played 100% without problems.

Best option would be using a Wii U and loadiine for injects. I can play Banjo-Kazooie without any problem like this. But no netplay, of course.

When a console's library is shit outside of a handful of games, then there's less demand for an emulator for it. Why do you think we still don't have a good OG XBox emulator when we've had a good PS2 emulator for years?

emulation is really fucking hard mate

to be fair aside from first and second (IE rareware) party games the N64 has maybe three games worth note.

If first and second party games were all it took to keep a console afloat the dreamcast and the Wii U wouldn't be also-rans in their generations.
