It is definately faster, Can't tell a lot yet since I have an ATI Radeon, but from what little I can see, it is running games perfectly...

Hi all. This is certainly exciting news. However, I only have a few N-64 games to play and try out on it. I'll have to see if I can manage to find a few more. Happy New Year all!

Hi all. This defiantely a release to sing about. I set it up last night and then I searched and searched until I found Gauntlet Legends for the Nintendo 64. I downloaded it and 1964 runs it!! I am so happy since I am a Gauntlet fan just like sxamiga (another thing we share in common). This is a wonderful release and if you are interested in Nintendo 64 emulation at all I highly recommend it.

cutie: nice sig
news: well as a radeon user i'm disappointed of the plugin but the emu istelf runs nice...

[blehz0r]

ehm
running games perfectly?
it doesn't, mario tennis still got some glitches on my comp
for example: the ball becomes transparant when it's returned by the cpu player
and goldeneye is a little bit ugly too (some nice purple colors) and in splitscreen the screen is flikkering
maybe it's my comp dunno, using opengl, tried dx but it says it can't find dx8 (have 9)
