I was under the impression that N64 had fantastic emulators. I remember playing several games in High School on an N64 emulator and they ran perfectly.

Support is just very spotty, and one's experience will depend on the games one tries to play, the platform the emulator's running on, game-specific config settings, plugins in use, et c. In this regard it's barely advanced from where it was years ago.

It's a system for which it is unsurprising to encounter difficulties emulating a given game, even if it's worked for you in the past.

Ah, fair, I haven't kept up with how it has progressed (although I did see that Project64's installer is now malware-ridden, that's sad) over the years and I haven't played an N64 emulated game in a long time. I do remember a long time ago that Dolphin wasn't that great and had spotty game support, so they must have really worked hard on it over the years.

I'm a big fan of the update blog posts they do over at Dolphin.
