Widescreen Nintendo 64 games?

Let's go waaay back.

Can anyone remember if there are any N64 games with widscreen? I think I remember that Goldeneye and/or San Fransisco Rush had WS support.

Hopefully some WS N64 games (if they exist) will end up on VC :D

Zelde: Ocarina of Time even has triplehead support (okay with an emulator but it still does his job quite good)

What's the best N64 emu these days? I haven't used one for about 4 years so am a little out of the loop :).

UltraHLE was the last one I used actually, i know that HAS to have been bettered by now :).

Yeah, just like crank, i use Project64, good emulator but very slow updates. :wink:

Owwww that's an old one, didn't think they'd still be going!

I used to run an emulation site years ago, had tons of N64 roms online. I ended up having to stop as i ran out of web space. My ISP limited the "unlimited" space to 2GB, for 1999 though, that was still a fair amount :).

I have a full N64 NTSC Goodset rom collection on a dvd somewhere. :D

project64 is the best n64 emulator out there. i was able to play super mario 64 with a widescreen resolution (1680x1050) and it looked to me like it was hor+.

Pj64 makes all games that are compatable with the "Match computers aspect ratio" Hor+. I have played through both Zelda games, Mario 64, Hybrid Heaven, both Extreme-G's, Automobili Lamborghini, Conker's Bad Fur Day, and Mario Kart 64. Each game was Hor+. I also played through Goldeneye and Perfect Dark, but the graphics were distorted unless you used the games 16:9 option.

Does everyone get the black bars or is that a setting?

Mario 64 is like that. My guess is because of overscan. On your N64 back in the day you would not have seen the black bars, but now on you computer overscan is a thing of the past.

The widescreen emulation is only viable for games that don't have any pre-rendered backgrounds as those are only designed for fullscreen.
