NINTENDO 64 EMULATION<br />
StarCraft 64<br />
StarCraft is a very famous RTS game. It’s one of the best<br />
strategy games ever made, and is still played in professional gaming<br />
tournaments. The Nintendo 64 game is a very good remake<br />
with reduced graphics, stripped videos, and minimal music. It’s<br />
a nice strategy game, and I found it interesting that I was able to<br />
play it on a Nintendo 64 emulator.<br />
U3<br />
The game runs surprisingly well on the U3. There are some<br />
speed issues on the menu, but as soon as you are in the game, it<br />
works well, although the sound is a little bit delayed, especially<br />
in bigger battles. You can hear units die after they have already<br />
disappeared from the screen.<br />
C1 - rice plugin<br />
StarCraft 64 ran surprisingly well on<br />
the C1. It seems to work best using the<br />
rice video plugin. However, when using<br />
the glide64mk2 plugin, the menu is<br />
so slow that you can’t select the mission<br />
that you want to play. Therefore, the<br />
game is not playable under glide64mk2.<br />
The in-game speed would probably be<br />
fine, but since I couldn’t get past the<br />
menu, there is no way to tell.<br />
XU3<br />
I actually had a lot of issues getting<br />
StarCraft 64 to run on the XU3. The<br />
game was very laggy at first, and switching<br />
from glide64 to rice or gln64 exhibited<br />
strange issues. Rice and gln64 were<br />
really fast on the XU3 menu, and everything<br />
was full speed. But both rice and gln64 had major graphical problems, which<br />
made the game unplayable. After some investigation on the slowdown of glide64, I<br />
found out that reducing the rendering resolution increased the speed. The game is<br />
displayed in 1080p no matter which resolution you choose, but the resolution at which<br />
the characters and objects are rendered can be changed on the<br />
XU3. I found that using a resolution of 800x600 or below<br />
gave the best performance.<br />
Super Mario 64<br />
Super Mario 64 was the launch title for the N64, and<br />
what a launch title it was! This game boosted the N64 to<br />
the top of its class by showing what the console was capable<br />
of, and once again, made Mario the star of the Nintendo<br />
franchise.<br />
U3<br />
On the U3, Mario 64 has some glitches with shadows,<br />
