on a Nintendo 64

>>5955753
How well does the N64 handle modern t.v.'s? I know the gamecube is noticeably lower quality than it should be.

>>5955757
N64 is probably the worst retro console to play on a modern TV

>>5955749
mupen64plus-gui and a rom if you want to play it for free

>>5955794
The only place I actually trust not to get a virus from removed all it's Nintendo roms a while back. Is the "reddit roms megathread v2" actually legit?

>>5955854
>where do I get roms?

>>5955858
I'm not asking where to get roms, I'm asking if a very specific link or the links on the page it leads to on reddit will give me a virus.

>>5955794
RetroArch with ParaLLEl core is superior.

>>5955749
Dolphin Wii VC version or just put the .wad on a hacked Wii.

>>5955794
I have both of these now but I can't find anything about what to do with them.

>>5955860

>give me a virus

nigga

>>5955749

download the wad, it's an easy enough google for the wii repository.

and hacking a wii is piss easy, should take you like 10 minutes tops.

>>5955794
I have the mupen64plus-gui master folder and the mupen64plus windows bundle. I still have no idea what to do with these now. And the only guides I can find say to move the ini and cfg files, and once I do that the game fails to load.

>>5955749
>now that the Wii e-shop is gone?
No anon, you don’t pay for roms that won’t be available once a company decides it’s not profitable. You download the .wad and tell them to fuck off.

>>5955749
>>5955794
Ignore my other questions, I was being a complete fucking idiot and I've got it working.

Only problem I've encountered so far is that Mario's spin looks weird. It looks like it's running at a higher fps so it's more noticeable that there's a seam in the middle of him when he spins? I think that's what this is anyway.

What are the recommended settings for Paper Mario in mupen64plus?

>>5956004
You could always try the dolphin version

>>5955757
use s-video

>>5955749
If you don't want to play on n64, soft mod your Wii and download the virtual console file and enjoy.

>>5955870
gen 5 console emulation and up on retroarch are fsr laggy as fuck for me on all cores on all platforms i try, including my gaming desktop and my nvidia shield. so i don't feel comfortable recommending it to others. mupen64plus-gui has a better interface anyway

seriously have no idea why this is. dolphin works smooth as butter on my nvidia shield but try loading any ps1 emulator on retroarch and i get like 2 fps

>>5956004
never noticed that. i never messed with the settings and am up to the volcano in my playthrough and havent noticed any issues

>>5955854
idk. i got all my n64 roms from a pack on piratebay four or so years ago. old torrents like that are probably your best bet. you can just uncheck the games you don't want before you start downloading

>>5955757
Retrotink s video looks okay to me

>>5955854
>when getting a computer virus was a legitimate concern
Ahhhh, that takes me back.

>>5955854
So this is what 4channers are like now

>>5955854
You must be 18+ to post on 4chan

>>5956983
I got worms

play it on literally any emulator and when a minor graphical error occurs, overlook it because you aren't an anal retentive asshole

Pirate your Wii/Wii U?

An RGB modded N64 w/deblur on a good CRT. Wii VC is a close second

for me, it's parakarry and watt, the best partners

>>5957919
All of the partners are great in their own way. The weakest is probably Sushi but she's still good.

Bow is the best and I don't even usually like the "ohohoho" characters.

>>5956004
Retroarch with the libretro ParaLLEl emulator.

>>5955749
Wii U

>>5956004
There are a few small issues in the Wii .wad, but it's still the easiest to use.

Glad I skipped buying a Wii version then.

Has N64 Emulation improved whatsoever in recent years?
I remember playing Paper Mario on an emulator a few years back and the experience was fucking horrible.
Laggy in places, parts of the world just vanishing and not appearing, cutscenes being totally fucked.

I played the original on an N64 connected to a CRT television so this was a particularly awful experience.
I have the desire to play Paper Mario but I can't do it if N64 emulation has made zero progress as of late.

>>5958512
Just buy an N64, CRT, and Everdrive.

>>5958524

No.

>Has N64 Emulation improved whatsoever in recent years?
Yes. Shadows of the Empire is now possible on a Wii, and you can play Rogue Squadron at full speed on PC too.

>>5958512
were you using project64 by any chance? that hasn't improved since 1.6 (which is decades old now). mupen64plus has made huge strides in the past couple years. running paper mario on it hasn't been a problem at all for ages

Has anybody got Goldeneye working on the Wii yet? Or Wrestlemania 2000?

>>5959350

That explains it. Thanks, Anon

You can get it on Wii U Virtual Console, but I'm the only person who actually bought a Wii U (which I basically just use for virtual console at this point), so I guess you should mod your old Wii.

>>5958295
I wonder if this occurs on Wii U as well.

>>5960339
It does. It even says it in the picture

I"ve tried it many times on emulator but nothing beats playing it on N64 using a cart or Everdrive64. I went with the Everdrive so I could also play the Pro Mode hack that ramps up the difficulty.

Best partner is Bombette and everybody else can get fucked. You get her so soon and you just need to increase your FP meter so you can spam her massive bomb attacks that kill everybody on screen (even monsters on the ceiling).

I always choose her though and it makes the game pretty easy, what are some harder partners to use that are still pretty strong? Bow? Watt? Fucking Lester?
