Is it good to play N64 games on a laptop via an emulator?

ju

There are N64 emulators, but I find it more than difficult to only play with the keyboard.

Up

In principle yes. It's even more fun when you connect a controller.

tu

Yes, a laptop is enough.

Lo

And would the laptop also withstand games like Donkey Kong 64, Banjo etc?

I snapped here and there that a PC would be the better variant than the laptop, but why nobody could tell me exactly until now.

Up

A laptop is usually not as powerful. But that depends specifically on the model.

Pe

If your laptop is not older than 15 years that shouldn't be a problem, even with a Raspberry Pi the N64 can be emulated

Lo

Could you recommend me, provided that of course not a problem?

But shouldn't be a gaming laptop if possible.

Up

I don't know my way around that. But emulating an N64 game won't be very expensive. This should work on any laptop that is not intended for office work only. Try it on a friend's laptop.

Up

I have a Gamecube emulator on my phone. Then every middle class computer should create at least N64 games.

Lo

All right, I'll make me smart and try it out a bit.

No problem with the Project64. An alternative would be Mupen64Plus.

I don't know why everyone here is messing around with their answers.

The emulation of N64 games already worked 15 years ago on an AMD Athlon XP 2300+ with a core and an NVidia 440MX.

Even the cheapest office laptop of the past few years is far superior to this technology.

In the past few years I have put together a lot of children's room computers for giving away and all of them had emulators for the common consoles such as GBA, SNes, N64, PSone installed. The emulators below PS2, Gamecube run on pretty much every computer in the past 10 years.

In addition, there's no risk of trying out yourself whether the desired game is running.

And you don't have to play with the keyboard, you can use any controller. And configure the buttons as desired.
