Project 64 Emulation Thread

[gDrive]

Hiya folks.

Seeing as there is already a PCSX2 Emulation thread by me and a Dolphin Emulation thread by xPreatorianx, and I (since late 2006) and probably a few others here use the Project 64 emulator, I have decided to start up this thread, which is dedicated to the now-development suspended Nintendo 64 emulator called Project 64, as Jabo (the developer) has announced:


I've decided to release a patch to 1.6 that includes the majority of the plugin fixes from Project64 1.7 beta, and take a step away from the project.

I began actively working on Project64 again earlier this year, and was disappointed at the state of things. After going over 5 years, with no end in sight, the beta project became a bit silly to many. Most of the original team has left for different reasons over the years, and the community on the site has faded.

At the same time, I felt it would be irresponsible to the legacy of the project to keep important bug fixes in the beta permanently; the donations seem to go into a black hole now anyway.

Looking back it´s been longer than I would care to admit, so many great memories and new friends. First, I want to thank the people who donated over the years, this emulator was a decade of ambitious work, knowing that people appreciated it and showed it really did matter to the team. There are too many people to thank individually, but special thanks to Gent, RadeonUser, Witten, and Smiff - you guys pushed the project forward in too many ways to mention, and truly defined my experience working on the project with you.

I am doing this independently of the project, it is not an official release.

Special Thank You Notice: Remember to thank xPreatorianx for starting off the Dolphin Emulation Thread and providing the layout for the thread.


More images and info coming soon - watch this space!

Nice job dude. Hopefully soon I'll start adding some stuff of my own. :P. Keep up the good work. Here Soon I'll be adding screenshots of games to my thread. Maybe you could do the same? That way people know what to expect for emulation. Maybe choose 3 or 4 top quality N64 games to use in the screenshots?

Status Update: I've finally added a few screenshots of the emulator in action.

NullDC is next on the agenda.

KK m8. I might do a couple of old school emu's that don't require that much fuss. Other then that you are pretty much doing all the ones I thought of. Maybe I'll add my own personal configs to these threads when I get a chance.

You actually deserve the +rep for even starting off the Dolphin Emulation thread and giving out the emulation thread layout pal :D
