n64-emu is an experimental Nintendo 64 emulator, which aims to complete graphic and audio emulation for commercial ROMs such as Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards and The legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
Note n64-emu is in a very early stage of development now. No commercial ROM can run on it. However, simple ROMs such as Mimi Controller Test can run on it.
We do not distribute pre-built binaries. Sorry!
- Little endian machine
- C++ compiler compatible with C++20
- CMake
We support MSVC++. Clang and GCC are not tested, but probably OK 🤞
