It might be a stupid question, but could the Wiz handle a Nintendo 64 emulator? Does it have enough buttons to do it?
Nintendo 64 Emulator?

It isn't likely that it can handle it at full speed. It's even less likely that anyone would succeed in writing such a thing.

T-T Can someone please sticky that N64, dreamcast, PS2, XBOX360 and gamesphere can't be emulated on a tiny handheld device like this?

I'm sure N64 and perhaps Dreamcast could be emulated on a handheld as tiny using technology today. Just not on a Wiz.

And the wiz doesn't have enough buttons

Sorry, I'm new around here. Give me some slack. You can go ahead and delete my topic.
I would if I knew how. I'm trying to figure it out.

It's not you, it's just that everyone comes on the board asking about PS1/N64/Whatever, and it gets a little.... eh.
It's the WIZ, not the WIZARD! It can only do half of what a wizard can do. =x

I think we just have to wait one more generation of gp2x and N64 emulation will be possible.
At least by streaming it from a faster computer.
GP2X >="F400" + Onlive would be interesting.

Just to raise a stink, i'd like to make a few points.
When do you need all the N64 buttons to play a game? Look at games like GoldenEye, on the Wiz, you could have left bumpper to aim, right bumpper to shoot, d-pad to move, the buttons to switch wepons. There's TONS of other games in which you could configure the buttons differently.
Now i really am a noob, both on here and when it comes to FPS and overclocking and all these things. But if the PSX emu is in the works and not working full speed, couldnt the same be donr for the N64? The PSX and the N64 ( to my knowledge) run about the same specs, which i will look into. So why do people think that the PSX will be able to get up to fullspeed and not the N64. Let's face it, we have some brillien people on this site (not me!) like zodTTD. I think that this really could happen, but its going to take a while. And c'mon, you cant tell me you dont want to play SSB on the go!
Best Regards,
Ethan (Beavith)

PS1 and N64 are very different platforms, and generally speaking N64 is much more powerful than PS1 and it takes more to emulate it well (even using HLE). A "proper" emulation of N64 would be even worse.

Could it be tweaked? I really am sort of "out of my element" here. Im just thinking that if the Wiz is playing quake, why not slower paced games like goldeneye?

Oh neat, it's a ... field.
You're confusing native and emulated games. Emulation means handling all of the physical bits and bobs via software, mostly on the cpu.
Quake however is a port, meaning it has been compiled to use the hardware directly (ok, there are layers in this as well), instead of having to pretend to be an entirely different machine.

Alright, i understand a bit better now. I still think we should keep this in mind though. Who knows what the future for the wiz holds. Lets put it on the back burner while the PSX gets cleaned up.

I would never imagine to find the UltraHLE private C source code here:

Actually the N64 blew the PSX out of the water as far as hardware goes (it was limited by the use of cartridges for storage) and up and till recently (around the advent of dual core) emulation of it on pc was slow and painful. I tried running a 64 emu on my first rig back in 2002-2003 (2.7Ghz AMD with 3g of ram) and it was awful, most games ran at about 15 to maybe 20 fps, so if a 2.7Ghz pc had trouble than I think a 800mhz (at max) hand held doesn't have much of a chance. Now as far as buttons go you don't really need all of them like the L bumper or the D-pad but for games like goldeneye you would really need the analog stick (no matter how shitty the 64's was). Have you ever tried to play an FPS with a dpad it's torture, you really need the added sensitivity of an analog stick and then you have those games that got carried away with the c-buttons.

There's no way. I've run plenty of N64 games on an 800Mghz P3, 512MB ram, blah blah blah. It must have been your emulator/settings causing that. On a 2.7Ghz AMD ANYTHING, the emulator should be running TOO fast, even for something as complex as perfect dark. I have a 2.2Ghz AMD athlon 64 3500+ and I can run DREAMCAST perfectly fine on this thing, so you must have been using terrible settings, or a bad emulator.
Or something less powerful than a Geforce 3
or you were running the emulator in interpreter mode, instead of dynarec.
