I havent been keeping track of the N64 emulation community much so can someone update me on a few things?
For starters I would like to know what is the best emulator currently... last time I checked it was project64 beta 1.5
I want to know if these games are compatible yet (and if they dont FULLY work correctly could you tell me what kind of problems it has?)
Turok: Dinosaur Hunter
Extreme-G
Zelda: Majora's Mask
Hybrid Heaven

I have tried majora's mask however there is a HUGE slow-down in the field (you would think it would be impossible on my computer but any different display settings are UNAFFECTED!)

Anyways thanks if you can help~ =^^=

1964 is a great emu, even better than PJ64 IMO. Besides, a new version of 1964 is about to be released. I reccomend you use Glide64, it is better than Jabo's D3D right now (all the games you mentioned run very well, with minor problems), so try it (with eVoodoo if you don't have a 3dfx card). The Daedalus D3D plugin from Rice is also a good choice (great for 2D games).

pj64 1.5 will run all those games, but so will 1964.


turok dinosaur hunter = this will work amazing on jabo's d3d 1.5 plugin in any zilmar-spec emu, such as 1964, apollo, daedalus, pj64 and tr64.

other plugins worth trying for this game would be glide64+evoodoo (if u dont hav glide compatible gfx card), daedalus d3d and unofficial daedalus d3d. also i believe iceipir8s tr64 plugin can run this game. but results would be glide64 and probably even beter jabo's d3d 1.5, both need little if any configuration - an added bonus.

extreme-g = this will work amazing on jabo's d3d 1.5 plugin in any zilmar-spec emu, such as 1964, apollo, daedalus, pj64 and tr64.

same as above, there really are few compatibility issues with this game.

Zelda: Majora's Mask = jabo's d3d 1.5 plugin without a doubt is the best recommendation. also it is likely that pj64 1.5 has any previous bugs ironed out cos the pj64 team seemed to like the zelda series quite a lot, lol.

u could also try, unofficial daedalus d3d as it works excellent, despite some minor minor texture issues, although i believe u need to enable 'smart screen update' and 'alpha blender' for correct results. also tr64 has greatly improved emulating this game, again worth a try (make sure u select Ucode4). the official daedalus plugub will also hav good results, although i havnt tried the latest release that much, so im not sure wat issues currently exist. last but not least, glide64 runs this game very well, at good image quality, just not as good as the latest jabo's d3d 1.5 .

Hybrid Heaven = any zilmar-spec emu will run this, i recommend using, as per usual, jabo's d3d 1.5 .

only jabo's d3d 1.5 and glide64 run this game correctly, in that all other plugins hav issues with the text, and considering its a sorta rpg (or basically involves a lot of text :) ) then its quite obvious that without text, the game is not truly playable.
