nintendo 64 emulators

[1964]

Win9x :: This N64 emulator is OPEN SOURCE! That means anyone who wants can participate with something and add it to the emulator. Both the source code and binary can be obtained. It now plays over 100 commercial games.

[Corn]

Win9x :: A very fast N64 emulator which can run many games, such as Mario64, StarFox, and Bomberman 64. There is save state support, and the speed is incredible - however, it tends to be unstable for some users. Definitely one of the top N64 emulators, especially if you don't have a computer which meets the beefy requirements of Nemu64.

[Nemu64]

Win9x / NT :: NEmu64 is currently the most compatible N64 emulator ever (also my choice)! It uses DirectInput and Direct3D (and DirectSound(?)), and so will run on most any 3D-card enabled system. There is also a software mode, but it is really slow. You'll need over 450mhz to get full speed.

[Project64]

Win9x :: One of the latest emulators around, which looks extremely promising. It's got wonderful compatibility, as well as speed to boot. As of version 1.5 it has been discontinued. An unofficial version is being worked on and has many small fixes and better compatibility.

[UltraHLE]

Windows :: The legendary UltraHLE, the first N64 emulator to run commercial games. It even has sound and joystick support (the joystick support isn't too great, though). The initial release could play 17 games, but, with the help of updated ultra.ini files, it can now support many more. It was discontinued 6 hours after it's initial release, but it's now being worked on again. You'll need at least a P2-233 system to use it. It runs on Glide, so a 3dfx card or a Glide-wrapper is required.
