Project64 dates back to It's
first public release Project64 v1.0 in May 26th 2001. Project64 is an
emulator designed to emulate a Nintendo64 video game system on a Microsoft Windows
based PC. It creates an environment on
your PC which real N64 software can run and be played in much the same way as it would
be on the original hardware system. It has a fantastic compatibility and is
one of "if not the best" N64 emulator out there. The Game play is a pure
pleasure and is
entertaining for all N64 based Fans, but your Computer had better
meet or excel the Minimum System Specifications.
Project64
System Requirements
Basics
Minimum system configuration:
This specification will
be sufficient for you to enjoy most compatible games with good
graphics, sound and control,
subject to correct configuration and some limitations of the emulator.
Intel Pentium 3 700Mhz or AMD Athlon 800Mhz CPU*
128MB system RAM
200MB free hard drive space
Additional 20MB-100MB free
hard drive space per game
100% Microsoft DirectX 7
compatible video, sound and input devices**.
Microsoft Windows 98
Microsoft DirectX 7 (default plugins), DirectX 8 (all included plugins)
The video device must be a
primary device, have at least 16MB local memory and two texture units.
Depending on the features supported by your video card some content may not
be displayed correctly and thus some games marked as compatible may suffer
glitches or not be playable on your system. The exact features required vary
from game to game.
nVidia GeForce256
and ATI Radeon (early models) are suggested as realistic minimum
video hardware. In conjunction with good quality drivers they have the
required features. Newer cards mainly allow better resolutions, filtering,
anti-aliasing and so on.
The following chipsets (thus
any and all graphics cards based on them) can be
considered below minimum
specification:
3dfx Voodoo 1,2,3 (1,2 - not
at all, 3 - poor image quality)
ATI Rage128, Rage Pro (poor
image quality)
Intel i740, i810 (poor image
quality)
Matrox G200, G400, G450 (poor image quality)
nVidia Riva128 (poor image quality)
S3 Savage 4, Savage 2000
(particularly bad, these cards hang)
Recommended system
configuration:
This specification should
allow you to play any game with good speed, graphics, sound
and
control, subject to the limitations of the emulator.
Note that this specification
is still not sufficient for every option available, but with
proper configuration you shouldn't have significant limitations.
