Emulator: Either Project64 or 1964, either one should run the game well.

Game: Dump it from your own cartridge

.

Plugins: Get them here.

hm, what did you think you were going to emulate? Ngemu has a no-tolerance stance against piracy. downloading games is illegal and thus, unsupported

it can easily fit into your cd-rom drive. You might have to force it down a little and to be scared of breaking anything, it will work. It also can fit in the floppy drive, it just might be a little slower loading.

AnnexTrunks · November 9th, 2005

Hurray for sarcasm. Seriously, with the PSX emulator, I just put in my disc. A Nintendo 64 game is a cartridge. Am I missing something here?

There's a special device used for dumping the contents of N64 cartridges. You could probably find one on eBay.

the cheapest way is to get an older N64 gameshark (NOT the newer ones). you can find plenty of help through PJ64's website, among others.

Ok, but when I run PD on my pc, will it be faster then running on 64?

Won't be any smoother, if that's what you mean. It'll run at the same FPS as it would on a real N64, complete with the slowdowns that existed on the real hardware.

the only advantages are the high resolution (and AA/AF and such) to make it prettier. and you'll suffer from worse controls, unless you have a USB N64 adapter.

Maybe our friend could buy the cartridge from somewhere and then download the ROM image again from somewhere without the need to buy all that stuff to dump it on his own...
Would that be illegal too?

Just wondering...

It's dump

Technically speaking, it would come down to downloading exactly the same data, however, you are allowed to make a backup only of your own game, not someone else's. So that's the problem, and also the reason why the "I've downloaded the image, but I own the original cartridge" doesn't count as a valid reason here. It will still be treated as piracy.
