N64 Emulation on Wii: Not64 (20 Games Demonstrated)
61Played on a real Wii.
I tried running a bunch of N64 games on my Wii using Not64. The results vary wildly; some of them are mostly playable, some have major problems, and some don't even boot. Pretty much none of them run perfectly though, so if you're looking for a good way to experience these games then I'd recommend you keep looking. I also only played each game for a few minutes, so it's very likely that these games have other issues beyond what's shown here.
I didn't show any games that already have proper Wii Virtual Console releases, because for all of those games you'll get much better results by just playing the VC versions instead of emulating them separately here.
It's also worth mentioning that for the sake of simplicity, I just used the default settings for each game. I'm aware that some issues can be fixed by changing some settings, but it varies widely and can often introduce new issues too. For example, enabling FB Textures can help with the flickering in Mario Party, but some minigames won't work properly with it on.
0:00:10 Diddy Kong Racing
Works mostly well.
0:02:10 Glover
Runs smoothly, but has some very noticeable graphical issues such as the sky being a black void, the menu graphics being messed up, and the copyright screen at the beginning not existing.
0:04:40 Goldeneye 007
Has very noticeable issues with graphics, music, and slowdown. Also, this game really sucks with a Gamecube controller, aiming is way too sensitive.
0:07:53 Ridge Racer 64
Runs pretty smoothly, but has noticeable graphical glitches including the fact that the rear view mirror just doesn't work. Some issues with sound also exist, such as the fact that it's delayed.
0:11:31 Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon
Severe issues with slowdown, graphics, and sound. Also, the game crashed not long after I started playing.
0:13:30 Mario Party
Some noticeable graphical issues, and the screen flickers a lot too.
0:17:42 Mario Party 3
Same as the first Mario Party, graphical issues and a lot of flickering.
0:22:04 San Francisco Rush 2049
The menu is pretty messed up, and the game is almost constantly stuttering.
0:26:01 Donkey Kong 64
Audio is delayed and sometimes distorted, and there are some minor graphical glitches. The camera is constantly jerking around for some reason.
0:30:27 Worms Armageddon
The entire game is a flickering glitchy mess.
0:31:23 Mickey's Speedway USA
Some issues with graphics, such as the fact that screen transitions don't really work and the countdown lights don't exist. This combined with the delayed audio makes getting a turbo start almost impossible.
0:35:39 Mischief Makers
The entire game has a weird grey bar above it, and there's a ton of slowdown that isn't present in the original game. This game also really sucks with a Gamecube controller.
0:39:09 Lego Racers
Major graphical issues, such as the track warping behind you and opponents being invisible unless you're really close to them.
0:42:23 Rocket: Robot on Wheels
Amazingly, I didn't notice anything weird with this one. I thought for sure it would crash and burn.
0:48:13 Elmo's Number Journey
Works pretty well outside of some minor sound glitches and the fact that Elmo's a ghost on the difficulty selection screen.
0:51:53 Rayman 2 The Great Escape
Some graphical issues here and there, and dialog boxes seem to not exist.
0:58:49 WWF No Mercy
It takes a really long time to boot for some reason, and has some weird graphical issues.
1:03:49 Banjo Kazooie
Seems fine outside of messed up screen transitions and pause screens.
1:07:20 Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine
Displays random garbage on a black screen and crashes. Honestly, I don't know what I was expecting with this one.
1:08:00 Snowboard Kids
Saved the best for last. It works pretty well outside of some small issues like the text at the end of the race being completely messed up.
I also tried Gauntlet Legends, but it didn't boot at all.
