Also known as Nintendo 64
Nintendo's cartridge-based 3D console, with an analogue-stick controller and a Silicon Graphics-designed graphics chip. Home of Super Mario 64, Ocarina of Time and GoldenEye 007.
7 emulators
A multi-system emulator focused on accuracy and preservation, continuing the work of higan. It covers Nintendo, Sega, NEC, SNK and other consoles with a simpler interface.
A multi-system emulator built for tool-assisted speedruns, with frame-perfect input recording, memory tools and Lua scripting across dozens of cores.
A cross-platform N64 emulator written in Rust by the author of simple64, with netplay, upscaling, a CRT shader, CPU overclocking, cheats and RetroAchievements.
A cross-platform, plugin-based N64 emulator whose core is used by many frontends, including Rosalie's Mupen GUI, RetroArch and BizHawk. Its own interface is a command-line program.
A long-running N64 and 64DD emulator for Windows, first released in 2001, with a plugin architecture for graphics, audio, input and RSP emulation and built-in debugging tools.
A Qt front end for Mupen64Plus with a ROM browser and netplay, distributed as a ready-to-run package for Windows and Linux.
An N64 emulator derived from Mupen64Plus with a streamlined interface. Its author archived it in February 2025 to focus on gopher64 and recommends gopher64 or RMG instead.

The Intel Cyclone V SoC development board that the MiSTer project is built on. Most MiSTer cores also need an add-on SDRAM board, and analog video needs an I/O board.
A modular console that installs games from original discs and cartridges and runs them in software emulation. The base unit reads CD-based games; Element Modules, sold separately, add NES, SNES, Mega Drive, N64 and other cartridge slots.
A low-cost FPGA board from Retro Remake that is compatible with the DE10-Nano used by the MiSTer project. It is sold in production batches, bundled with SDRAM and, in larger packs, an analog I/O board and USB hub.
An FPGA console for Nintendo 64 cartridges with 4K HDMI output and display modes that imitate CRT televisions.
A ready-built console from Heber that runs the open-source MiSTer FPGA project, with 128 MB SDRAM on board so it plays all standard MiSTer cores. The Analogue model adds RGB and VGA outputs and a cartridge expansion slot.
A MiSTer-compatible FPGA console from Retro Remake styled after the PSone, with ports for original PlayStation controllers and memory cards. It runs the MiSTer cores for other consoles and computers too.
An FPGA console for original Nintendo 64 cartridges and controllers, with HDMI output up to 4K, CRT-style filters and overclocking modes.
Hardware re-creations for FPGA boards such as MiSTer. What's an FPGA core?
| Format | What it is |
|---|---|
.z64 | Cartridge image (big-endian) |
.n64 | Cartridge image (little-endian) |
.v64 | Cartridge image (byte-swapped) |
.ndd | 64DD disk image |
