Notable N64 ports & remakes for other emulatable platforms
Let me know what you recommend others play from this console. *M-rated Rare developed action platformer about a trash-talking squirrel. Japanese-only, but there is a fan-translation that you can easily find. A very unique live simulation game that will scratch the RPG/story-heavy itch that the N64 severely lacks in.Bit of a hidden gem racing game, in which you race around in Volkswagen New Beetles.Linux via Proton, so the N64 rom is probably the easiest to get running, which is why I mentioned it here. There are issues with running this fast-paced pod racing game on other platforms incl.Really fun rail ‘shooter’, in which you have to take picture of Pokémon on a tropical island.Often considered better than Mario Kart 64, which has more advanced sequels on other platforms so I excluded that from this list.
#NINTENDO 64 EMULATOR PC#
Easier to get running than the PC port of SM64 (see below), so I mention it here as well.
3D platformer that still holds up well. You might want to emulate N64 games with warts and all for maximum nostalgia, but it’s nice that the options are at least there to improve the graphical fidelity. Texture replacement mods: Fans have made high-res texture packs for use with N64 roms. Widescreen mode: output a widescreen aspect ratio instead of the N64’s 4:3. Output at higher internal resolution: runs the game’s 3D graphics at a higher resolution than standard, making 3D edges look smoother and more high-res. The Steam Deck has enough power to run N64 games and add graphics enhancing tweaks on top of it. I got my info from the link below: Better looking N64 games I could use some feedback from more knowledgeable N64 people about the differences between these two cores. Parallel-N64: If you don’t care for high resolutions and other graphical tweaks and just want the most accurate N64 emulation possible (which also happens to use Vulkan drivers), then you can run ParaLLel-64 with the “angrylion” plugin. This one is the only N64 core so far included with the Steam version of Retroarch. Mupen64Plus-Next: If you find that the ParaLLel 64/angrylion combo looks a little too grainy and, well, accurate, then you should try using the Mupen64Plus core. There are not a lot of Linux N64 emulators, the two I focus on below are also cores for Retroarch. Not as hard as the Saturn, but not as simple as the PS1. The N64 in general is a somewhat hard system to emulate. With the release of the Deck a little over two months away, I wanted to take a look at these older platforms and give a bit of a guide on how you can relive them through ports, remakes and emulation. The Steam Deck’s hardware will be able to emulate more platforms than ever before in a handheld form factor.
