Hacking N64 Emulation on 3DS

[Nepeta]

If it can't, I'm gonna go Q_Q in a corner.

Paper Mario 64 on DS!! HELL YEAH!!!

No, it's power has not been stated, any "it's better than X" is a rumor, nothing more than a guess.

Yes it has, 4.6V I believe. Same as the DSi.

Okay, I laughed, thank you. XD

Just reading your quotes there, and I'm preeeeeeettttttttttty suuuuure I heard the VP or pres of nintendo say the specs surpass the wii's..

It more than likely can, seeing as it is supposedly more powerful than the psp and judging on how the graphics look.

That's because theres tons of video memory, but you still gotta have a good CPU. Either way, I'm sure it will be equal to or greater than the PSP's processing power, and any PSP can use an N64 emulator (and can easily go full speed on a Phat PSP when tweaked)

That was never said, that's a rumor, there's no source. People keep saying it, people totally unrelated to nintendo, people that are just making guesses.

1 - Video memory is not a measurement of speed.

Both those cards come with 256 megs of video ram on them.
But the second one is over twice as fast as the first.

2 - Graphics are a function of the GPU, not the CPU, and the CPU is most involved with emulation.
I've already had this discussion and proven that point earlier in this thread.

Honestly, I have no knowledge of any technical specs, and if I did I wouldn't know what they meant.

The PSP could emulate N64 (although far from perfect), and this is a whole new generation of handheld. From what I've seen, things only get better after each generation. We may not see perfect N64 emulation, but we'll definitely see something.

 

[CrimzonEyed]

maybe N64 games with the 3DS shop channel? :=)

 

[joybeba6679]

Is it that damn hard to wait till its released??? cmon...

 

[ether2802]

It wont have, nor we'll see some hacker being able to create a full speed emulator for it, look at the Wii emu.....it has been there for like 2 and half years now, is it at least on beta state...?? so NO, cause by the time someone even think on starting an N64 emulator for the 3DS, "N" will present a new handheld...!!

Ummmm.... Yes!

It's not about wether or not there will be a N64 emulator, it's about wether or not it's capable of emulating it.

Before someone writes an emulator, it has to be cracked. Before that, it has to be released.

I'm of the opinion that Nintendo would be able to do full speed N64 games through the 3DSWare virtual console if they choose to do so. Will they? who knows. Once they've done the emulator, provided it hasn't been cracked VC is easy money.

....Are you... serious? Jesus, I'm guessing you've never played a PSP before, or even heard of Daedalus. Even then, I can imagine PJ64 being able to run on 3DS.

I'd be fine with VC. I just wanna play Paper Mario 64 on the go o_o

 

[_Chaz_]

I wonder if WiFi multiplayer would be a possibility.
Whether on VC or a homebrew emulator, I'd love to see it happen.

Even if N64 emulation was possible, it would be years before the 1st beta emulator can run a rom...

The 3DS is still a year later, and you have to give time for hacking and such, it may be 4 or 5 years from now before we see anything N64 working on 3DS.

 

[bowlofspiders]

Yes. But not until somebody hacks the 3DS and designs an emulator.

I don't know if Daedalus is some kind of program you're referring to, but the only thing that comes to mind is Icarus's father.

ok?

yes however how many homebrew makers on DS are dedicated enough to create something like that?
the DS homebrew scene is a joke compared the psp homebrew scene, both have just about died now though
I think daedalus we had like 4 different groups using the source trying to improve it and we still dont have a proper release, I dont think it still active anymore

This isn't the DS. This is the 3DS. A new system means a new group of homebrew makers (once the system is hacked). This release could gain some interest from the more experienced hackers and coders.
