project64 VS snes9x

Nintendo 64: Project 64 is the best N64 emulator in my opinion: Download Project 64

Are you running 3.0.1 downloaded from their site? And is the game a clean dump, or some kind of romhack?

Suggested for cheaters and poorly designed ROM hacks: Project64

I use Snes9x for SNES (https://www.snes9x.com/) and Project64 for N64 (https://www.pj64-emu.com/) — there's a ton of other ones too.

Sorry it took so long, but here we go. 1. You wanna go to www.pj64-emu.com there's a huge "download here" that will download the setup which you then need to run to install the emulator (I also choose to have an icon on the desktop). 2. You go to https://wowroms.com/de/roms/nintendo-64/super-mario-64-usa/24979.html to download the super mario 64 rom for the emulator, here I have pre-chosen the USA version for you, there's a European version too, they're all basically the same tho, you just get different language options sometimes. Click the green "download rom" button and it will download the rom in a zip file for you. Open the zip file and extract it (don't forget where you put it tho) 3. When you run the Project64 emulator for the first time you get to choose if you want to run it on a modern PC or an older one, I chose modern, but if your PC or laptop is old then you might want that. You can test out the options and if it doesn't work you can reinstall it and try again with the next option. 4. When you click on finish a blank window will pop up for you, there you go to "File" in the top left corner and choose "Open ROM" and browse your PC for the Super Mario 64 file we had downloaded and extracted earlier. Choose the file, click on open and your game should run. 5. Then if you like you can configure your buttons, so if you play with mouse and keyboard you can assign the keys from your keyboard to perform a certain action that would usually be done with the button on the controller and if you have a controller you can plug into the computer you can also assign the buttons to your controller the same way. For that go to options and then choose "Input settings". Try it out a little bit and see what's most comfortable for you or you can leave it as it is and play with the preassigned options. Hope that helps and if you have any questions lmk! You can also look for other ROMs and download other games, there's a ton of them.

I didn't know that bsnes demands so much on Android, I tested it years ago probably only for a few minutes and I only remember the core being unstable. I used to use Snes9x on desktop as well as Android, but I switched to bsnes on desktop because Snes9x had graphical issues in some games that just recently got fixed (see here the issue I opened in 2021). On the desktop I haven't seen any significant change in power demand between Snes9x and bsnes, and I've played a lot of games since then, so I don't regret it. As for Mesen-S, the project had been paused by the developer years ago, I saw that it has recently resumed the development on a new emulator, but I don't know how (or if) the changes and improvements are being ported to the cores, so, Mesen is my choice for NES, but I have doubts about Mesen-S for my choice for SNES as the emulator still needed a lot of improvement when the project was paused, so if the bsnes core ever has issues on desktop I'll probably just go back to Snes9x unless I'm sure the Mesen-S core is being maintained. As for my choice on Android, I have no doubt that Snes9x is the best option for me, it's lightweight, doesn't demand power and is directly maintained by the emulator developers, so I didn't changed even when I changed the core I use on the desktop.

Snes9x - Portable Super Nintendo Entertainment System (TM) emulator.

The Current version of the Emulator Snes9x 1.62.3 was on the Updater but now Update goes back to 1.61

Nestopia for NES Snes9x for SNES

whoops I linked the wrong page by accident: https://github.com/snes9xgit/snes9x/releases scroll down to 1.61, grab snes9x-1.61-libretro-x64.zip and put the dll from it inside your retroarch cores folder (overwriting the old one)

I would also recommend doing this, the SNES app for switch is literally just a SNES emulator so you're literally emulating an emulator. There's no reason to do this, so I'd imagine that it's going to be hard to find someone who can actually help. It would be far easier and make far more sense to just use Snes9x or bsnes or something. Plus you'd be able to play rom hacks and stuff!

Also I just run retro gaming on my windows pc since i'm always on it. I use SNES, Gameboy, PS1, PS2, PS3, XBox, and XBox 360. If sure it's not efficient to run them all separately but it works for me
