How To Get A N64 Emulator & Roms (Full Guide)BackI was so sick of not being able to find a useful tutorial to guide me through Emulation completely, so after the long and grueling process of visiting tutorial after tutorial and finally learning what I needed to know about it, I decided to make this video to help anyone who needs help with this stuff, assuming you don't know anything about emulation and where to start. This is a COMPLETE step by step tutorial video on How to get a fully functional Nintendo 64 Emulator and the ROMs for it. I am going to use Project64, one of the best N64 Emulators out there. NOTE: In this video, I am running Windows Vista Home Premium, if you have a different OS, there may be some issues you may encounter that I can not help you with. PRIMARY LINKS Emulator: Project64 (The program that acts like the game console) - http://www.coolrom.com/emulators/n64/21/Project64.php ROMs (The games) - http://www.coolrom.com/roms/n64/ WinRAR (Needed to extract or "unzip" files) - http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm (After a time, WinRAR will tell you that you need to purchase it to continue using it, this is not true, if you get that message, simply close it out, WinRAR is a free program) SECONDARY LINKS Plugins (The "drivers" that make the Emulator actually run, there are already plugins built in the Emulator, but if you wish to use different plugins, follow these links) In some cases, your computer's hardware, setting, etc., will not be able to run the plugins already built into the Emulator, if this is the case, use this link and try some plugins and find which ones work for your system - http://www.ngemu.com/n64/pj64.php?action=plugins SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS FOR Project64 Required - PIII/AMDK7 800Mhz 128Mb GeForce 2 Recommended - PIII/4 1.2Ghz 256Mb nVidia GeForce3, ATI Radeon I hope this is helpful for you all, good luck. If you have any other questions that were not covered in this video, feel free to message me on here, I will do my best to help you out. NOTE: The ESA (Entertainment Software Association) owns the Copyrights to some of these games, such as Zelda, Mario, Donkey Kong and so on. This might prevent you from being able to download some of these ROM's on some Emulation sites because the ESA probably contacted the owner(s) of the site and demanded that they remove them. If this is the case, simply search for the specific game on another emulation website. Best of luck to you all! ANOTHER NOTE: I know many of you have asked this question: "Is Emulation illegal?". Well, there are a few answers for this. It IS ILLEGAL if you don't already own a copy of the official game (The ACTUAL N64 cartridge) which you bought. As long as you own a copy of the physical game you are free to own any virtual copy (The ROM) of the same game.
