nothing wrong with trying different stuff....GSZX1337 wrote:Sorry I mentioned it.Niode wrote:Just tried Mupen64. The sound is terrible on a lot of high poly games.

Mario 64 is slightly smoother but the sound is worse. Mario Kart 64 doesn't crash randomly on mupen and performs very similarly. Haven't had time to test any other games yet.

I wasn't trying to say it was terrible, I was stating good and bad points about both emulators. It's just Sixty Force seems a bit more suited to the OS X environment, maps with my controllers seamlessly and has slightly smoother framerates at the disadvantage of resizing the screen without paying for it.GSZX1337 wrote:Sorry I mentioned it.Niode wrote:Just tried Mupen64.

It wasn't a personal attack against you GSZX1337.

I do feel bad that I knew that it wasn't a very good emulator. I just don't remember it being that bad.
EDIT: Maybe you can Project64 with Darwine.

Nah, it's ok and that's the main problem. Most N64 emulators for OS X aren't really that good. It's a shame. Don't get me wrong it's not terrible. It's nowhere near the level of performance/featurs we see from the windows scene.
It's a shame really as it's quite a big thing missing from the emulation scene, but with the rate that sixtyforce is advancing we might have a decent emulator this time next year, if we're lucky, it's a shame that we have to pay somebody to unlock all the functionality.
Also about the darwine, I'm not sure how well a dynamic recompiler will work under an abstraction to be honest. It's highly probable that we would see worse performance than a native app.
Besides I really don't have the time or the space on my hard drive to do anything like that. Especially seeing as I can just boot windows on my mac and use P64 on that.
