Looking for N64 Emulator to play Conker

DolphinPC · 08-23-2015, 08:22 AM #1

I know that there are plenty of emulators, But I have some questions (information that I couldn't find on the web)

1. Where Can I get a good N64 Controller for PC (Xbox 360 Controller is not good enough)? I have seen some in the past, but I want to know what is the best one.

2. What emulator has the best emulation accuracy for Conker (couldn't find anything at all about this)

3. Is there any N64 Emulator that enable you to overclock the N64 CPU (I Can guess that Conker couldn't manage Stable 30FPS on the N64 from what I seen)

Thanks in Advance, have a good week Smile

Note: Since Conker is Rare's franchise now, There is no Virtual Console Version of it Right?

1- I love the Dualshock 4. You can make a lot of profiles, macros, etc. And the d-pad is godly compared the the Xbox 360 d-pad.

2- I don't know. Probably more important than the emulator is the plugin you use. I don't know what would be the best for Conker, besides one that's completely accurate and super slow.

3- Mupen64Plus. It can go up to 400% overclock.

There isn't any official VC version of Conker. Some people may have tried injecting the ROM in a different WAD, but I don't know if there was any success.

Thanks. the Emulator Works on Windows 10 X64? I love my Xbox 360 Controller (I just want a N64 Controller Because of the Button Layout. I don't like to use the second stick for the C buttons, it just doesn't fell right for me).

Probably. I haven't upgraded to Windows 10, though. Just try it.

A N64 controller would give you the original experience regarding the controller. I don't know if the rumble and memory pak would work with the adapter.

I want to buy an USB N64 Controller is the emulator will work well, cause I want the original experience (For Gamecube games, the xbox 360 feels just perfect and natural for me) I don't really care about rumble, but what is the memory pak?

Some games needed if for saving your progress (and Mario Kart 64 used it for the trial ghosts). But with emulators you won't need the real thing even if you use the original controller.

Mupen64Plus 2.5 works on Windows 10? Project 64 caused a BSOD (Fortunately my PC works fine, but it still annoys me, I don't want to harm my PC because of things like that)

Hi DolphinPC.

Did you try running PJ64 in compatibility mode for windows 7? My windows 10 machine will crash instantly when I try to launch a game in PJ64 unless the PJ64 exe is set to windows 7 compatibility mode. Since setting it, I haven't had a bsod.

Mupen64Plus 2.5 does run on windows 10. I've just started playing around with it.

Project 64 was a no go for me on Windows 10 x64.

I am using m64py. It's a frontend for Mupen 64 plus, but it has everything on the package. No hassle at all. Latest version is already Mupen Plus 2.5 based.

Setting the compatibility mode on Windows 7 helped me as well, but the problem is that as much as the game is really unique and special and even aged pretty well (and it's funny as hell is you like the humor), the controls are just not good enough for me. Maybe a real N64 controller can change that but I'm doubtful. I hate to turn the camera with buttons instead of the right stick like modern games. it seems like a real gem. I wish Rare replay was available on PC too and also include Live and reloaded Sad
