What's the best way to emulate N64 games nowadays? I'm in the mood for some Zelda, but the newer Project64 I downloaded is unstable and tends to crash regardless of the plugins I use (RunRSP:unknown memory action), and the older versions don't support newer plugins and have graphical issues out the ass. I'd normally just use retroarch + mupen for this, but even there there's issues: the sound constantly crackles annoyingly and there's completely incorrect lighting in some scenes.

Unlike Dolphin, N64 emulators have a good software renderer for people who want accurate graphics. Even JMC doesn't recommend using Dolphin for N64 games.

Sounds like mednafen must require more cpu, for w/e games you were playing. Kinda surprising, given that shills claim you can run mednafen on toasters...

>>158922129
because you play dolphin in hardware render mode

Simple question: Do all games in PCSX2 run without glitches in software rendering mode? Is the ps2 software rendering mode basically as accurate as mednafen ps1 software render?

>Without an emudev interested in the platform, it's not going to happen. In my case, my favorite genre would be JRPGs. I also enjoy brighter games like the Zelda series.

And it's cool if you disagree. But, as you're (presumably) not writing emulators, that's a problem for you.

Does anyone here have any experience emulating FF Crystal Chronicles? I'm using Dolphin 5.0 on W7 and I've run into some kind of save bug. I had a save before Goblin Wall, and when I finished that dungeon, I went to save and found that the save file disappeared. Saved again and closed the emulator for a bit. When I started the game again, the old save was the only one available. Finished Goblin Wall again only to find the new save was back.

Whenever I finish Goblin Wall, the game thinks I switched memory cards, so I can't make any new saves after the dungeon stick. Anyone else encounter this problem or have a possible solution?
