>mfw N64 emulators actually are poorly-coded
>>344778170
its funny because there will probably never be a good n64 emulator
Give me examples. Haven't fiddled with them much but they work for the games I play.
it hurts because paper mario 64 is still a shit to emulate
why did gamecube and playstation emu get all the talent
why has nobody been working on 64 emu in like a decade
>>344778170
The mix of extremely proprietary hardware and lack of any real documentation is a real bitch. Same general problem with Saturn emulation, not helping that Saturn has some freaky architecture.
>>344778271
64 emulation has been dead for about a decade. audio still has never been implemented properly (music is still slightly off-time in any emulator i've used)
>>344778360
64's hardware isn't really that proprietary, though. the ps1's hardware is arguable more proprietary
>>344778282
You can download the virtual console version and play it on the Dolphin emulator.
>>344778286
because nintendo is so pants on head retarded that literally nobody has any clue how the fuck does the N64 work and all the documentation has been lost
>>344778402
>>344778282
Oh so they're minor inconveniences then. What do you expect? You're stealing a game you ungrateful fucks.
>>344778531
>literally a fucking n64, gamecube and wii emulator all in one
Fucking dolphin devs are gods
>>344778594
>>344778510
Thing is PS1 has some good documentation which allows emulator makers to actually work with the odd stuff. N64 has hardly any avaliable stuff so newcomers have to do a fuckton of work to make even basic things playable.
>>344778531
there is a virtual console version wow i didnt knew, thanks anon i am really liking ttyd will probably play paper mario too

That glide64 plugin released a year or two ago and I played Banjo-Tooie like a breeze. Not sure about other games.
>>344778630
You can download the PS1 emulator wad and run it on dolphin too
The problem isn't the code. bSNES/Higan is also poorly coded.
Does anyone have any Sheldon copypasta? Haven't seen it in years.
>>344778630
does dolphin run all n64 games or only those ported to wii like paper mario?
>>344778170
Algeria.
what's a good coded emulator anyway? they all have issues

>but they work for the games I play
See, that's the problem with all N64 emulators: they play the "popular" games like Paper Mario or Banjo or OoT because the community does all they can to jury rig a working fix together just for these particular cases. Meanwhile, lesser-played ones like Snowboarding Kids or Iggy's Wrecking Balls either have massive audio issues or are just flat out broken. Hell, even Diddy Kong Racing is unplayable in New Game+.
It's both hilarious and sad too, because pretty much all of the games people emulate the most are still available on shit like the Virtual Console, but nobody seems to give a shit about the ones Nintendo's too lazy to put on their e-shop.
I bet none of you are mentally capable of playing on Mupen64Plus and still use that ancient relic PJ64.
It's command-line only unless you download a front-end. I recommend pic related.
>>344780296
Pretty much this. N64 emulation is stuck in the era of early ZSNES. Sure it'll play the smash hits well and classics, but feed it a cult classic game or a random thing from the N64 library and it'll choke.

Will N64 emulation ever be good?

>>344779721
How does anyone even use BSNES? Don't the games need to be in a special format, I recall?
I have a huge collection of zipped .smc files and I ain't converting them all for it.
When will this meme end? CEN64 is cycle accurate and 60fps already
But sure, N64 scene sucked back in the day but that was aeons ago
>>344781049
Thing is can it actually play a majority of the N64 library from start to finish?
>>344780951
No,with Retroarch you don't need to convert anything.
>>344780951
Nah, it just places the games in its special nowflake appdata directory. I agree that this icarus file manager byuu is pushing is pretty damn unnecessary, but what are you gonna do.
Oh right, use the bsnes core in retroarch and use it normally.

Mupen64Plus-libretro just got the most accurate LLE RDP rewritten for Vulkan. In the next week or so, nearly every N64 game will be emulated perfectly, with reasonable performance requirements.

Get out, CENshill.

Well good to know, but were there really still issues with GBA that needed to be addressed?
Can Dolphin run GBA player?
Functional Xbox emulator when?
>>344783050
The GBA player isn't a software emulator. It uses actual GBA hardware minus the screen.

Pretty bad. If it's not a VC game, or can't be VC injected, don't bother.
>>344782946
Audio
The thing to understand is that the N64's GPU is so complicated developers wrote drivers for it in their games and most N64 emulators work by decoding what the game is telling the driver what to do rather than the actual hardware. This is why Super Mario 64 was emulatable in 1999 but any game that does unique things with the hardware won't run.
I think there's only one worthwhile N64 game left that isn't available on VC or Xbox, it's GoldenEye.
Why are MupenPlus and CEN64 better than PJ64? What are their pros and cons?
Also what's this mGBA meme I'm seeing?
how can you emulate a half press of a button? it's impossible.
>>344783932
Yeah, but GE is barely playable in an emulator unless you use a mouse injector.
>>344780339
>any real documentation is a real bitch.
Except PJ64 is acknowledged as more compatible
>>344784205
PJ64 is better than both of them. It has better compatability with games. Mupen probably works better on the games it does run but PJ64 can run more games.
CEN64 is a meme.
>>344783719
>developers wrote drivers
If you are talking about custom microcode only a handful of games did that(battle for naboo and indiana are some of the few third party examples) Nintendo kept the up to date devkits to themselves and their first partys. While most third party were using the same documentation since launch. Nintendo really hated third parties.

I take it back. There's Pilotwings 64 and Castlevania 64 that I want.

No thanks old man
>>344784520
Gotta accept the malware if you want to run N64 games, anon ;)
>>344782943
I didn't say it was ready for prime time today.
But it will be THE n64 emulator when done.
>poorly coded N64 emulator
NO! It's not poorly coded, it's the plugins that are if anything. But it's stupid to call them poorly coded because it's a really hard task that requires A LOT of reverse engineering. It takes a lot of time.
>>344784640
Well as long as something is done to make N64 emulation good, I'll be happy.
>>344784520
Maybe try not DLing the installer then you dip
>>344784762
>NO! It's not poorly coded,
it's full of hacks that made sense 15 years ago on 333MHz CPUs
>>344784430
Dawg just going to tell you the 64 castlevanias are terrible and total and completle skip its. I;ve seen people being postive over them in recent years but they where hated by the fans at the time for a reason, they're just poorly done.

Try actually using the right setup. I find it hilarious how you aren't even trying.. If you're going to whine, at least mention actual problems that haven't already been solved.

Project64 2.2 runs DK64 more stable than the n64. Problem is that it was made privately and is hard as fuck to find on the web.

If Wii can run N64 games natively, and Dolphin emulated Wii perfectly, what's the fucking point of writing a separate N64 emulator?
>>344787053
because wii doesn't support all n64 titles, nor does it emulate them accurately
>>344787053
>If Wii can run N64 games natively
It can't, VC is an emulator, and only a few games are on VC.
just fore the sake of the thread, you can inject another rom when playing n64 games on the wii.
not every game works this way though. like no rareware games either.
Why is mGBA considered better than VBA-M?
>>344789230
Remember how you couldn't hit those damn notes in Mother 3? Now you can.
>>344789230
It's more accurate, and faster.
>>344789273
Yeah, but does it have any downsides or is it objectively better? Any compatibility issues that VBA doesn't have?
>>344787053
VC is a shit in-house meme emulator

As someone who doesn't know anything about programming, what does "poorly coded" even mean?

It means "shitty, barely functional hack job"

Imagine an essay you created for a class that was truly awful; the words are misspelled and the sentences were ran through Google Translate a couple of times. Now imagine having to read that from start to finish and get every bit of info correctly from what you're reading.
You could probably understand some parts just fine but there will be constant/subtle fuckups along the way, basically like how a poorly coded emulator works.
