n64-emu

n64-emu is an experimental Nintendo 64 emulator, which aims to complete graphic and audio emulation for commercial ROMs such as Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards and The legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Note n64-emu is in a very early stage of development now. No commercial ROM can run on it. However, simple ROMs such as Mimi Controller Test can run on it.

Build

We do not distribute pre-built binaries. Sorry!

Prerequisites

  • Little endian machine
  • C++ compiler compatible with C++20
  • CMake

We support MSVC++. Clang and GCC are not tested, but probably OK 🤞

Linux

sudo apt install cmake libsdl2-dev g++

git clone --recursive [email protected]:kmc-jp/n64-emu.git
cd n64-emu
mkdir build
cd build
# configure build
cmake ..
# build
make # or cmake --build .

Windows

  1. Donwload SDL2 from https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/releases and extract it.
  2. Set SDL2_DIR environment variable to poiont the location where you extracted the SDL2 development package.
  3. Run the follwoing commands
git clone --recursive [email protected]:kmc-jp/n64-emu.git
cd n64-emu
mkdir build
cd build
# configure build
cmake ..
# build
make # or cmake --build .
