I recently played an N64 cartridge via an emulator on my laptop, and the resolution was absolutely incredible. I assume there must be stuff out there to replicate that on a TV, right?

The emulator is upgrading it at a system level. Anything attached to the console would only be fudging the output

So I guess the answer is hooking your PC up to the TV

Ah, so the emulator is essentially doing what the console can't. That makes a lot more sense.

Some googling says there are converters available. It's just literally impossible to tell how much of a difference it makes.

I'm fairly sure it's hardware limitations of old consoles.

I think those console emulators like Retron 5 MIGHT do it, but I'm not entirely sure. I also don't even know if one exists for N64 games.

Bummer. The games look so damn good on the computer but the N64 is definitely a plug-and-play console for friends after the bar. Need to keep the setup quick and easy.

You could always buy a custom-made emulator like this

No slot no buy!

I know that you can get some kind of modded HDMI N64. A streamer who I watch has one and his console streams literally look nicer than most people's emulator streams. I assume that the mod is super expensive though.

I'd probably pay a decent amount for one

For the n64, the best option is to get an s-video to hdmi converter. That will give your current system the best output it can do

Have you seen this in person? How does it compare to project 64?

Why MK64 and not MK8? No problems hooking that up to an HDTV and it's a better game

Girls will think you're a loser if you play anything released after N64 obviously
