First Look - N64 Emulator Alpha Version on PS3

An exciting new emulator project surfaced today. A team of three guys has taken on the challenge of porting a Nintendo 64 emulator to the PS3. The project seems to have been underway for sometime, as progress is quite far. The team has released three videos showcasing that the emulator is in playable form but still needs some work. Currently the emulator is 1 player only via keyboard, graphics work excellent for most games tried, and the emu has no audio support. The team has made no indications on when a release will occur, but it doesn't seem too far off.

this is what hacks should be about stuff like this i love and would love to put on my ps3,not pirated ps3 games

[rajman]

Well this would still lead to illegal download of N64 games...so no

[SuicideShaun]

Yeah but this would also be preserving the classics. I used to use an n64 emulator on my pc because my n64 broke. So in a way it's good for people to play the classic old games.

OH NO ILLEGAL DOWNLOADING OF GAMES THAT WERE ON A CONSOLE THAT HAS BEEN DEAD FOR 9 YEARS!!!!

ALL THOSE HARD-WORKING DEVS WON'T GET PAID, SO!

The gaming industry is finished, guys!!!

EDIT: @rajman (Below): You're either a troll or an idiot. Judging from your comment above, I'm guessing you're both.

[rajman]

Its not ok to download PS3 games, so it shouldnt be ok for N64 games to.

[rajman]

@ sam2236
The only troll here is you, PS1 has been dead for ages...would Sony be happy with me downloading PS1 games illegally and playing them on my PC or PS3 through emulators? NO

[Army_of_Darkness]

Maybe if the guy didn't have his camera 2 inches away from his monitor, I might have believed it a little cause Killer instinct gold on my PS3 is sounding mighty goood!

[jony_dols]

I bought my N64 around 12 years ago, and I amassed an impressive library of games.

Everything from Mario 64 to Resident Evil 2, Starfox to Goldeneye.
I spent a lot of cash on it. And now it sits uselessly in my cabinet beside my PS2 gathering dust.

I will relish replaying all my N64 classics, through HDMI on my shiny PS3.

[Wenis]

The fact of the matter is, Roms and Emulators on widely available on PC for people to download anyways, so being able to play them on PS3 won't 'hurt' the situation anymore... it just makes it more cool... I mean really, playing Banjo Kazooie on PS3 (which you'd have to d/l on 360 by the way, lol)

[George Sears]

Hah I'm actually re-playing Majoras Mask on Project64. I never really had downloaded an emulator for the PC before but I never knew how easy and great the emulator works.

Almost got all the masks except for the goddam mask from the dude who turned into a kid.

I wonder if these guys could also do a PS2 emulator as well. That would kick so much ass.

[tunaks1]

cool
theres also an emulator for the psp, and wii if anyone else is interested.

[tunaks1]

"also, xbox 360 emulator for PS3"

not possible.

[catbusmillionaire]

I'd love to see a console with dreamcast emulation next

[kramun]

You'll be lucky. Dreamcast emulation on pc still isn't that good, I doubt it would work half as well on consoles.

[Jdoki]

Y'know what else has a really good N64 emulator, and is legal...? A Wii.

[Kos-Mos]

That almost means more exclusives. I`m so tired of multi-platform titles this generation; half-made trash games.
I hope next generation sony and ms can follow Nintendo`s example and be more unique. It will lead to more hate and most importantly love.

[NaiNaiNai]

Lmfao at all the hypocrites.

[Cajun Chicken]

Great. Another phone call for Sony from Nintendo.

[Bull5hifT]

NO , you need to pay for a Re-Hash version with slight sound changes that will come out on 3dS and Wiiii(Nintendo Revolution-sounded WAYYY better) ... iPad, haa pee and femine hygene.... Ps4 will be known as ToothBru$h

[Bull5hifT]

I would actually buy something called the iCondom, weird huh

[Neko_Mega]

Why do people think they need to play NES, SNES and N64 games on a PS3? I mean you got a freaking PC people, how had is it to play this stuff on you PC?

It isn't, so why not quit wasting your time at making everything play something you can play on your PC. Next thing we know it a hacker will be able to make phone calls with his PS3 and all while it makes him dinner.

[tunaks1]

y do u need to play have a ps3 when u can play games on the pc. Why does it bother you that someone would like to use their machine in ways they seem fit.

[Neko_Mega]

One it isn't right in the first place.

Two its a good way to get your system banned (Because game systems are not the same as PC's).

Plus hows any better to do it on a PS3 then a PC?

[tunaks1]

"One it isn't right in the first place. "
and how so?

[Bull5hifT]

My laptop sucks ass, takes like a min and a half to get running and finding the snes icon and loading up the boot and connecting a controller to make it feel more confortable then having to map the buttons to the emulator and sumtimes those stupid numbers show up blocking the screen, where my ps3 takes like 20 seconds and im there and it even supports 2 conrtollers... Me and a friend were actually playing super mario allstars and having lots of fun... I still on my snes and that game . but i despise having to blow in the cartrige until it finally works and also losing all my saves cause the battery in the cartrige is dead

[DrGonzo]

a couple things.....

1. that is the crappiest video ive ever seen, your telling me that they couldnt at least get a decent video to show their work?

2. No actual gameplay....

3. it sounds like hes banging on a keyboard when hes selecting races and stuff.

Im gonna say this probably falls into the BS category.
