VIDEO: Why is Nintendo 64 emulation still a broken mess in 2025? (www.youtube.com)

The Nintendo 64 has always been a difficult machine to emulate correctly. But in 2025 - we should be well and truly past all of it right? Not exactly. Issues with Plugins, performance, graphical glitches, stutters. Unless you have a very powerful machine, these are common things many of us will run into when emulating the Nintendo 64. But why? And Is there any hope for fast, accurate N64 emulation in 2025 and beyond?

Thanks. Like i said i haven't been able to check the video out yet.

I am enjoying everyone jumping down my throat about being able to play n64 games with no issues though. It's giving me a good laugh with my coffee.

People are jumping down your throat because you’re talking about N64 emulation being just fine on a GameCube emulator which plays a total of 21 of the 388 N64 games.

That’s fine that you only like those games, but it’s irrelevant to a discussion about N64 emulators and it’s only a tiny subset of games for the system.

You can see this right? Surely you understand that?

come back after you've watched the video. Thanks.

You're chiming in on a discussion that's already ended. Surely you understand that right? Hurdur
