Nintendo 64 Emulation

[kedawa]

I seem to remember reading 10 years ago or so(or whenever it was that N64 emulation was at it's peak) that most emulators were pretty much programmed to play Mario 64 and Zelda 64...so any other game working would more than likely just have been a serendipitous perk.

All I know is that Ocarina of Time ran beautifully on my friends PC less than a year after the game was released for N64, and yet most other games run like garbage 13 years later.

Yep, those were the good old days. I remember not long after Final Fantasy VII and Ocarina of Time were out, the Nintendo fanboys were emulating PS1 to play FFVII, and the Sony fanboys were emulating N64 to play OoT. And of course, way back then, when the games were still practically new no less, the emulation was complete crap, and they used the emulation flaws as fodder for their attacks on the games. But I guess the emulation must've improved a good deal shortly thereafter.

N64 emulation is the biggest selling point for these newer Chinese knockoffs. I'm trying to decide between the Yinlip, JXD S7100, and JXD S601. I'm pretty much decided on the upgraded version of the Yinlips, although there are not that many out there to see reviews of. The S7100 looks to emulate the N64 the best, but I don't want to try and control it without shoulder buttons.
