Fortunately, someone made emulator based on the N64, and it was called Project 64 released in May 26, 2001. They were comparable to 3dfx games on the PC. The games on it, like 007 Goldeneye, Super Mario 64, Castlevania N64, and others were great games. The N64 had a pretty large library of games, and it was a very popular game console with over 32 million units being sold worldwide. The PS-1 used CD-ROMs, so if you had the right software you could copy Playstation games. They modified the Sony Playstation, so they could play games they copied games. I remember back in late 1990s, people were pirating Playstation games. The advantage of using a cartridge was that the games loaded quickly, and for the company it couldn’t be easily pirated. Compared to CD-ROMs chip based roms were still very expensive. Unlike most of its rivals at the time, Nintendo still uses rom cartridges, and these cartridges could hold about 64 mbs of data. The N64 came with only 4 mbs of ram which wasn’t a lot at the time however, it was still capable of displaying great graphics and smooth performance. It is kind of misleading for Nintendo to claim their Nintendo 64 was a 64 bit console, because the processor was actually only 32 bits. The CPU was the NEC R4200 32 bit processor, but the bus was 64 bits.
It was technically a math co-processor which handled 3d calculations. You can find more about the features of this remaster from Digital Foundry's 2.The Nintendo 64 was a 64 bit video game console system released in March 1, 1997, it had its own 3d accelerator chip SG RDP. However, online multiplayer and leaderboards which were planned features for the final release aren't available.
Playable on this leaked build is the single-player campaign and local multiplayer in split-screen. Being a remaster, it features a graphical overhaul, while still allowing players to switch between HD textures to the original N64 ones by pressing the right shoulder button. However, a near-final beta build has now found its way online and is reportedly playable on the Xbox 360 emulator Xenia. It would’ve cost a lot of money to get it done and because of that the project probably wouldn’t have been financially viable." “Microsoft, Nintendo and EON could never agree on terms, and that’s before you even start to consider getting all the original movie actors to agree to have their likenesses used again. “The main reason it didn’t happen was because there were too many stakeholders,” GoldenEye composer Grant Kirkhope, who was at Rare during the remaster’s development, told Video Games Chronicle. Initially developed as a title for the Xbox 360’s Live Arcade service, the remaster of the N64's classic GoldenEye 007 got canned in 2008 and never saw the light of day.
