Emulation of N64 on PC is still sub-par for a great many games.Shadow of Chaos posted on Jul 12 2005 at 11:33 PM said:Magus 86 posted on Jul 12 2005 at 09:22 PM said:Hopefully perfect handheld SNES emulation will be around the corner.
Are you joking? i'd expect perfect N64 emulation at least.. if not, then.. the system sucks imo.. end of story <_<

The only emulator with decent compatability (PJ64) requires an 800Mhz processor.
They all seem to have been all but abandoned too.
Dreamcast is irrelevant. I'd wager you are running on a 2.5Ghz+ processor and modern video card with massive amounts of RAM.

And that right there is fine with me.

I don't think Saturn will ever come to fruition. One of my favorite quotes is that the "saturn could barely play itself;" it's just so damn complex. Besides, I feel that speculation on a system we know NOTHING about is a bit fruitless.
Here's hoping, though. If this is anything like the gp32_console , we are all in for a treat

I've never understood why they need to be stretched? Why not have the extra width used for something, like statistics.
Atleast GB games look nice on GP32.
well, when there is dedicated hardware for scaleing it dosnt look that bad, but of course, bative resulution is allways the bestDaveC posted on Jul 13 2005 at 02:38 AM said:Jarska333 posted on Jul 12 2005 at 07:22 PM said:DaveC posted on Jul 12 2005 at 07:45 PM said:How large will the screen be and will it be 4:3?

Statistics? I don't know about that one. If the resolution is too high and you don't stretch it the game screen would be postage stamp sized. If you stretch it then the image is full screen but distorted, then you add filtering and it is fuzzy and you loose the sharpness around the edges. LCDs are fixed pixel so if you stretch by an odd value then like every tenth pixel or so is double wide/high giving an uneven look to the graphics. Look at the GB emu on the GP32 and stretch it to see the effect.
Knowing how people think "more is better" the new GP32 will almost definetly be higher res and maybe even widescreen which will be very bad for emulation. This means alot of stretching, filtering, and distortion. I know this from the PSP which is either very small screen size at 1:1 or stretched and distorted fullscreen. There is no option that looks too nice because of the odd resolution and aspect ratio with respect to emulated systems. All emulated systems were designed to run on 4:3 TVs at a resolution of around 320 x 220 or close to that.
Yeah, I've heard saturn's a tough one to get going, but I know that a while back someone was working on a Saturn emu for DC... not sure how far that has gotten, though.triksR4rabits posted on Jul 12 2005 at 08:14 PM said:shinneri posted on Jul 12 2005 at 07:43 PM said:..
