wow Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Because ervyone with real macs said it was a great emulator for N64 games, i tried it the speed is ok. But the sound is not. There is sound but it does pain on my ear. How is that by you? Every second the seems to be a stutter and somehow it doesnt sound good. Can some give it a try and tell or you like it? Want to know or it is my machine or that more hackingtoshes " suffer" Thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/37771-sixtyforce-n64-emu-stutters-with-sound/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMX-Knuckles Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Could be Rosetta is messing with it. Running emulators on hardware that's too slow causes sound stuttering sometimes.

wow Posted January 6, 2007 Author Share Posted January 6, 2007 (edited) Good one i have to see or it is a universla binarie but i thought is was, so no resetta could be used. Will check the "get info" to see or rossetta was enable as startup app. ps the framerate was mostly 30 or 60fps should be quick enough. I am thinking soething in the sync department or the used plugins (sound and graphics) are still not universa.)

walterav Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Hi wow, compared to Project64 and nineteen64 which are FREE windows versions, this emulator really sucks in my opinion and you have to pay for it to..., but I think its the best you will find for MAC. With Sixty force most of the games not even start and if they, they'll play even worse... If you want to play n64 games i suggest you go with nineteen64 on windowsXP with the following plugins. Jabo direct3d 8 plugin "from project64", Azimer 0.56 wp2 audioplugin, and Nrage v2 controller plugin, with this i can play every game i want good. or use nintento64 ;-) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/37771-sixtyforce-n64-emu-stutters-with-sound/#findComment-270147 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wow Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 (edited) I have real n64 somewhere, but the stupid thing want save :-( But i wanted to see how wel it runs and i liked the idea of 1280 res games :-) I am gone try it in windows with the tips you said. It tried it also in osx becuase the people with real macs were so enthousiats how good it was, pefect emulation they said. That i thought i must be better then the windows emulators out there. Guess not :-) thanks for the tip anyway Edited January 7, 2007 by wow Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/37771-sixtyforce-n64-emu-stutters-with-sound/#findComment-270178 Share on other sites More sharing options...
walterav Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Yep 1280 gaming is possible, even 1600x1200 BUtttttttttttt, you're still emulating so if you wanne keep things really smooth keep it at 640-480 32bit. it might be as smooth as 1600x1200 but at those resolutions strange little slowdowns and hickups can occur, its very game dependend, mario64 plays fine at 1600x1200 but super smash bross sucks. So if you want something that always works just stick with 640-480--60hz. BTW it already looks better than the real N64 For "best" video quality you can use DIRECT64 as video plugin "DX9", or the newest rice plugin, but the good old JaboD3d 8 plugin is still most compatible and looks okay in all games...

walterav Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 Project64 With CROSSOVER under OSX seams to be working... http://www.tuaw.com/2006/10/05/crossover-m...phase/#c2346109 I just can't get it working, it might be the rice plugin for opengl, but the program would not even start... maybe its titan, or the sse2 kernel from semthex.

frizbot Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Sigh. Because of PPC, the Macintosh used to be the ultimate emulation computer. It just had the extra CPU features to make coding easier. A few years back, maybe around 2001, Windows caught up, and Emulation on the mac got quiet. x86-64 has fixed many of the problems with x86. Windows emulators always had UI problems, terrible in comparison with the Bannister emulators and MacMAME etc. Now MacMAME has an ancient frontend. Emulators are going OpenSource, which is awesome in any case. OS X will be able to do emulation again.

BRP Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Psh, yeah, but it's still a {censored} to port things like emulators, especially if they do funny business like emulators usually do. Just so many issues you don't necessarily expect to run into, etc. etc. And most of the open source emulators that are really worth porting are heavily Intel-centric, I'm afraid to say. Just look at my pet projects ZSNES and Gens. So much x86 assembly, you could only hope for an Intel-only port!
