PS3 NEWS - N64 Emulator Alpha Version on PS3 (2011/02/22)

An exciting new emulator project surfaced today. A team of three guys has taken on the challenge of porting a Nintendo 64 emulator to the PS3. The project seems to have been underway for sometime, as progress is quite far. The team has released three videos showcasing that the emulator is in playable form but still needs some work. Currently the emulator is 1 player only via keyboard, graphics work excellent for most games tried, and the emu has no audio support. The team has made no indications on when a release will occur, but it doesn't seem too far off.

We are a team of 3 guys who have been working on a Nintendo 64 emulator for quite some time now, and we have decided to go out with the news since now our N64 emulator is officially working on the PS3. We still have a huge load of things to work on, but it's playable and N64 is finally working on the PS3. What we have done so far: * 1 player (keyboard only) * We have succeeded to enable gameshark codes * Graphics works excellent on most games we have tried; Mario 64, Donkey Kong 64, Ridge Racer 64, Diddy Kong Racer, Mario Kart 64, Banjo Kazooie and 1080 Snowboard. * Games we have tried that are jerky (so far): Duke Nukem 64, Doom 64, Hexen 64 and WCW Smackdown 64. Issues (we are working on): * Audio is not working yet. * A user interface and the ability to edit and change files such as controller settings, cheat codes, etc. (We do all this over FTP now). * Game menu (we now have to upload one game at the time). * PS3 controller, (we now have to use a USB keyboard). * Multiplayer.
