What's the best option for N64 emulation nowadays?

[Shakan1997]

Gopher64? Ares? RMG? Mupen64 Plus Next?

Mupen64 Plus has given me EXCELLENT results even on low-end hardware — it plays everything.

i personally use RMG, it works well for me

I’m interested in this too, I still have project64 but it can decide to hate games unpredictably lately.

I gave up trying to find a good N64 emulator, and just got a flash cart.

I was using RMG for a while, but it eventually stopped working right for no reason. P64 used to be my go to back in the day, but somehow it seems to work worse than it did a decade ago, at least for me.

Oddly enough, and I don't want to sound like a shill here, but the only stable N64 emulation I've used was the one on switch online, which obviously means little to anyone without the hardware and a premium subscription.

I use Mupen on my phone. I'm able to upscale it to 3840x2880 resolution and every game I've tried works without problems and honestly it looks great.

i'm using RMG from quite a while now.
No problems encountered so far, but i also have Project64 in case

also, RMG looks best than the others on my monitor

Chameleon Twist 2. Both Chameleon Twist games are pretty fun. They're platformers where the gimmick is your tongue can extend and move around in any direction. You use it pull things towards you or pull yourself towards things.

may be better to play recomps or source port of n64 games imo. I was satisfied with using starship source port when trying star fox 64 once.

At this point, Redream. lol

not ares. i tried a few games on that and the audio was pretty choppy.

As far as N64 goes, I still think the best option is to find a good deal on an actual console and just get a flash cart for 50 bucks off AliExpress. Either that or just settle for whatever a retro emulation handheld can do out of the box.

Gopher64 works really well, tried some games yesterday, like Castlevania, WaveRace, Starfox and even Extreme G.
