I don’t see many posts here about the N64 and it doesn’t look like there is an N64 community on lemmy.world It’s the console I have the most nostalgia for and I have over 130 games in my collection. I’m currently playing a ROM hack called SM64: Beyond the Cursed Mirror. It has some pretty challenging platforming but it is fun.

    My take, a big focus of retro gaming is on the handhelds coming out and N64 games are only just becoming playable on the latest hardware. Definitely no loss of love for the N64 out there.

      The biggest issue I think is emulation only just started to hit obscure titles recently with paralell rdp and angrylion for the graphics. To add people finally getting away from Project 64 which was heavily prone to timing issues (games running slower/faster than on actual hardware, causing things not to happen the way they should)

      Handhelds can probably already handle the popular titles, but obscure titles are still a ways out since handhelds have more issues going to the more accurate engines. Popular titles are usually working through more hackish solutions.
