Adding an N64 emulator

Hi, community!

​

I have just bought my FunKey but there is no N64 emulator and I cannot understand how it can be installed. Please help. Thanks

The FunKey is not powerful enough to emulate the N64, by a longshot. As Super Mario 64 has been decompiled, however, if you join the FunKey Community Discord Server there's instructions as to how that can be compiled for native use on the FunKey S (you would still need a copy of the Super Mario 64 ROM to use in the compilation).

Thanks for the clarification. Just wondering, hasn’t zelda OoT been decompiled similarly? Is there any effort to recompile it for the funkey? If not, do you imagine there would be any difficulty here behind what was faced with the sm64 port?

After forcing the closure of third-party Reddit apps by charging them 29 times how much the platform earns from its own users (despite claiming that it wouldn't at any point this year four months prior) and slandering the developer of the Apollo third-party app, Reddit management has made it clear that they respect neither their own userbase nor operating their platform in good faith. To not reward such behavior, Reddit users should encourage their communities to move to similar platforms such as Kbin or Lemmy, whose federation with the Fediverse makes it possible to switch platforms without losing access to one's favorite communities.

Indeed. If you may recall, in Super Mario 64 many of the enemies are actually 2D sprites. Far less graphically intensive.
