Is There An N64 Emu You Could Actually Port?

Makes sense though doesn't it when the N64 was a 3D console? Why would anyone want to do software 3D and waste processor power when a £20 graphics card will do it all for you?zacaj said:

N64 emulation on Linux isn't far enough along yet. I couldn't even get it working, although that's probably my fault. :lol:

No one said you COULDINT port A N64 emulator to the GP2x; but noone said it would run eather. 
According to what I've heard, the N64 is A much harder system to emulate than the Playastation, and thats mostly why theres A PS1 emu for the GP2X. If your really willing to develop A N64 emu for the GP2x, go for it, but it will never run full speed. Heck, Project64 runs full speed... but with ATLEAST... what.. 400MHz? anyhow....

400 MHz and a 3D card. In pure software, it would require much more than that.Classic Team said:
Just forget it. This is impossible (a decent speed). It has been said one billion times on this forum, it is even a joke on one of the member's signature.
Wait for the Craiginator.

That's because the MAME project isn't there to play the games ... it's there to preserve them. So the MAME developers emulate the hardware as close as possible ... this involves pure emulation of the 3D capabilities and (much more important) the absence of speedhacks in the code.
For instance the most N64 emus don't emulate the 64bit CPU properly ... they take advantage of the fact, that most game developers used only 32bit code.

someone should just make a quick port so people stop asking(jk)....as long as it runs better then 4fps like the jaguar emulator its good... but seriously it would be a waste of time to make ....just buy a psp(i dont even think its fast on it) there is none even for ppc yet so it would be pointless and dumb it would be more of a concept like how the zod played ps1 games lol!god_at_hell said:That's because the MAME project isn't there to play the games ... it's there to preserve them.

There's another Jaguar emulator now, and it runs a lot faster than 4fps.

How fast now is it????!!

Its full speed if you use frameskip 25

ahh so what does it run without frame skip 8fps i would try it but iam gp2xless until the f200 comes out couldn't take the joystick pain anymoreSquidge said:Its full speed if you use frameskip 25

Frameskip? We don't need no steenking frameskip! ^_^

There isn't any sound either. To me that was a huge part of what made Tempest 2K good were the sound effects. I imagine that is due to the GP2X not being powerful enough.

You all seem to be forgetting about Corn, which played Mario 64 decently in software at full speed on my celeron 333 way way back, I seem to remember it having half decent compatibility...
Let me see if'n I can't find some information linkage...
http://www.smiff.clara.net/emulators/corn/index.htm
http://www.emulator-zone.com/doc.php/n64/corn.html
It seems I was mistaken about it's "half-decent compatibility" still, with system requirements like that a port might be possible...good luck getting the source though >.>
