I thought it was kind of strange for the game to be so smooth,and I decided to take a look at the original on the real N64 hardware, and beside beeing much uglier due to the much lower resulution, the game is fast but does not play as smooth as the emulated one under PJ64.
#Quake ii running slow pj64 Pc
Now when I play an older PC game on my new PC I can enjoy better graphics and usually a rock solid smooth framerate, and I tought it would be nice to have the same thing with a N64 emulator, even thought I know that the final goal of emulation is to faithfully emulate the original harware in good and bad.īut you guys did a terrific job in rendering those games in higher resolution making them even more enjoyable on my 17 inches CRT monitor.īut the biggest surprise I had it by playing QUAKE 2 just yesterday.While there are some gliches ( like a blue background instead of black on the start screen) and having to activate the advance option " Use direct 3d transformation pipeline " in order to make objects not visible trough walls, the games runs at a rock solid 60fps smooth like the (now pretty old ) PC version !!! The newest PJ64 1.6 release is the first one that allows me to play emulated N64 games at nearly perfect speed and I love the high resolution graphics.īut the thing that mostly annoyed me on the real machine is the choppy framerate that many games suffer of.
I am a new member but not new to the emulation scene.īeeng a big Nintendo fan, I still keep all my original systems included the N64 which is still working and connected to my TV, but for some reason I prefer to play the games on my PC, and trough emulation I can play several systems on the same monitor, with the same joypad, and in some cases with improved graphics ( like with PJ64).
