when will the day come?

emuguy!! · July 31st, 2002

will the day ever come when we can play n64 games on our pc at the same standards as an n64. im talkin about 100% compatability and no glitches etc. im askin cos everything seems to have gone quiet. is there any new projects in the pipeline. like a new version of pj or any new plugins? i certainly hope we are not getting to the end of n64 emulation when we have only just started to get good things from it

No, we're far from the end.

I dislike questions like this. One could just as easily ask-

"when will we see a perfect NES emulator?"

-because we're not even there yet. The joy is in the journey my friend; just sit back and enjoy the ride.

perfect emus don't exist. Besides, it would be kinda boring. Really.

emuguy!! · August 2nd, 2002

can someone give me a rough percentage of the games that are playable from beggining to end using an emu?

Zell · August 3rd, 2002

Yes it's true it's impossible to get a 100% , but they can (some alrady are ) better then the original , explenation : improved garphics , better sound quality , net play , save states , etc .

emuguy!! · August 3rd, 2002

how do i use netplay.? can u play perfect dark over the net?

Zell · August 4th, 2002

See the options of your emulator . net play should be there .

I might as well add my little comment in:
If a game is perfected (I prefer better than being exact) then I consider that good enough... I probably wont have my whole collection but if I can play a good few better than it was originally designed to play then I am one happy puppy~

emuguy!! · August 5th, 2002

I doubt you'll find anyone hosting N64 games online, because frankly the poor performance makes it a pipe-dream right now. On a lan is different. Please consult the readme for further details.

is work underway to make online n64 gaming full speed?

It's not really an emulation problem; we need internet lines with extremely low latency. Right now you can only get that on a lan.

Yup it's only worth for LAN .

Simple; N64 games weren't meant to be played over the net. PC games are designed to tolerate flucuations in latency.

This page of a thread at Emutalk addressed the problems with N64 netplay. Give it a read.
