The Nintendo 64 has always been a difficult machine to emulate correctly. But in 2025 - we should be well and truly past all of it right? Not exactly. Issues with Plugins, performance, graphical glitches, stutters. Unless you have a very powerful machine, these are common things many of us will run into when emulating the Nintendo 64. But why? And Is there any hope for fast, accurate N64 emulation in 2025 and beyond?

"If you aren't a programmer, don't speak" is about what I expect from programmers, yes. That kind of elitism is why most programmer-only projects are utter shit.

Well, MVG is an experienced programmer, especially with emulation and homebrews, so he knows what he’s talking about.
