tcmt Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 what do you mean by "working games"? are you referring to compatibility with emulators? if so, most of the major emulators have a compatibility list on their homepage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craiganderson Posted July 30, 2016 Author Share Posted July 30, 2016 thanks. like on N64....some videos state "game not working" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knewlife Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 All games in the official database Works with at least one emulator... The problem with n64 is exactly that... All games don't work on one emulator... Retroarch is the most stable and easy way for me. The videos might be old... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcmt Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 nonMAME documentation recommends RetroArch with the Mupen64Plus Core for n64 ( http://nonmame.retrogames.com ). they also have some other recommendations. but i can't seem to find a decent compatibility list for that. n64 is a real mess as far as i know when it comes to compatibility. as knewlife said before there is probably not one single emulator that plays all games well, since n64 emulators often times use very specific hacks or workarounds for specific games (at least that is what i read once). other systems are way more forward, like the playstation. psx has good emulators like mednafen or zebra both of which pretty much play everything you throw at them. that's because they basically replicate the original system 1:1, whereas n64 still needs to use special workarounds specific for a lot of the games.

thatman84 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 Retroarch has the new vulkan driver which looks set to open new doors to N64 emulation and compatibility. Early days still though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
