NINTENDO 64 EMULATION<br />

is too dark, but it is still fully playable.<br />

C1 - rice plugin<br />

Similar to the other Legend of Zelda game, this one works very nicely<br />

on the <strong>ODROID</strong>-C1 using the rice plugin. With the glide64mk2 plugin,<br />

the game was not entirely full speed, and exhibits the typical ground texture<br />

and shadow issues.<br />

XU3<br />

The experience on the XU3 is superb. I didn’t see any glitches or slow<br />

downs so far, although I didn’t get very far in the game. It’s a really nice<br />

experience.<br />

High Resolution Textures<br />

After trying out different games, I checked on what else could be done with the<br />

emulators, and I found out that there are some high resolution texture packs that offer<br />

much better graphics. I tried a few of them to see what they look like in order<br />

determine if they would work on the <strong>ODROID</strong>s. Mupen64plus standalone emulator<br />

offers the possibility to use high resolution textures for N64 games which can improve<br />

gaming experience by giving a new look to the games, but this option is not available<br />

for other emulators.<br />

To use the high resolution textures,<br />

download them from http://bit.<br />

ly/1Jvpahr and copy them to the directory<br />

~/.local/share/mupen-<br />

64plus/hires_texture/. Some of<br />

the textures are complete rewrites of the<br />

game graphics. Make sure to place the<br />

Super Mario 64 with standard textures and<br />

high resolution textures side by side.<br />
