Nintendo 64 emulator 32-bit processor

Posted 22 October 2010 - 07:53 AM

Has anyone used a Nintendo 64 emulator on a 32 bit x86 CPU? Will it run fine or are there any issues? thanks!

Project64 runs fine for the most part. There are a few "trouble games", but that's specific to the software rather then any hardware on your end.

Yea, if you follow the guide for LoZ: Ocarina of Time, you might have to switch the order of a couple of rooms in the dungeons, or you'll crash. Also, don't go into the woods in Kokiri Village until told to. You will crash.

Perfect Dark and Goldeneye's outdoor skies will be glitchy and Rogue Squadron flat out won't work.

Actually, since my l4d2 isn't working and your post yesterday referenced "Zora", I kinda got onto a zelda kick. I have been playing a link to the past, a game I haven't played in 15 years and figured I would try to beat it.

I was trying to decide to play the original or skip over to ocarina or mejoras mask. Hence the 64 emulator. Thanks for the tip.

Last time I tried it, I believe it worked. I'll boot it up later to check.

Seriously? Wow! I have seen lots of raving reviews about twilight(the zelda, not the movie). I read that its a bit more of a darker/mature zelda game.

I also read that it has a huge map and a were-link.

I know OoT was the "best one" but damn. And it's sense. ;) Twilight Princess is a little more macabre than the others, but hey. You're cast into a world of darkness. Everyone is a ghost but they don't realize it. It's so sad actually. Zelda realizes it though. But Link's love interest in this game is Ilia, not Zelda. This makes me sadface.
