RetroArch (N64)

The N64 is one of the greatest video game consoles in history by pioneering beautiful 3D graphics while bringing legendary franchises like Mario and Zelda into open worlds. When it comes to N64 emulation, you can never go wrong with Libretro front-end RetroArch. With an option of two legendary emulator cores; Mupen64Plus and Parallel 64, you can choose between accuracy or performance depending on the game you want to play or the experience you want to achieve.

On the two N64 Libretro cores, Parallel 64 is renowned to have better accuracy - perfect for playing the game in a vanilla setting, and getting that perfect console experience. On the other hand, Mupen64 cores (Mupen64Plus-Next, Mupen64Plus-Next GLES2, and Mupen64Plus-Next GLES3) have better overall performance, more customization options, and broader compatibility that makes it ideal for most players - casual or not.
