1964 is a Nintendo 64 emulator for Microsoft Windows, written in C and released as free software. It is one of the oldest and most popular N64 emulators, supporting many commercial N64 games.[1] The name consists of "19" (as in 1996, the year the Nintendo 64 was released) and "64" (as in Nintendo 64).
History 1964 has existed since 1999.[2] 0.9.9 was the first release with Netplay support.[3] The oldest release still available is 0.7.0, released on Friday, November 23, 2001. Older versions of 1964 were known to run on the Windows 95, 98, and ME operating systems.[4] 1964 is currently an N64 emulator for Windows with typical features like a dynamically recompiling CPU emulator. 1964 supports plug-ins written atop Zilmar's N64 Plugin Specifications. The peak of 1964's popularity was in early 2004, after the release of 1964 0.9.9.[3][5] Recent releases As of June 7, 2009, version 1.1 was released, with both the source code and binary files in a single archive.[3] Several contemporary console emulator developers got together and created a Google Code project with the latest source code.[6] The accompanied video plug-in is a continuation of Rice Video, and, in addition to the current developers' progress, any fixes or enhancements made by the Mupen64Plus team (which handles a Linux port of Rice Video) are being adopted if possible. Another modified release by user "Stolen" allows the emulator to run games at true 60 frames per second, by altering the internal multithreaded processing frequency of the N64.[7] Features 1964 is one of the few Nintendo 64 emulators with built-in network play support. Like many emulator implementations of "NetPlay", it uses the now inactive Kaillera networking library. It supports multiple inputs, including the use of an Xbox 360 Controller. When using the Rice Video or Glide64 video plug-in, 1964 can load high resolution textures in place of lower, default textures in an N64 game. System requirements The minimal recommended hardware specifications for the emulator are: - CPU: AMD Athlon XP 2200 or Intel Pentium 4 2.0 GHz
- Memory: 512MB of RAM
- OS: Windows 2000, XP, or Vista
Higher CPU requirements may be imposed when attempting to emulate resource intensive games such as Goldeneye 007 and Perfect Dark. References External links ca:1964 (emulador) es:1964 (emulador) fr:1964 ( mulateur) ko:1964 ms:1964 (nombor) pt:1964 (emulador)
