Everything about 1964 Emulator totally explained

1964 is a Nintendo 64 emulator for the Windows operating system, written in C and released as free software software under the GNU General Public License. It is one of the oldest and most popular N64 emulators and has support for almost every ROM ever released. Name mixed in 2 year numbers - 19 (as in 1996 when the Console came out. and 64 as in Nintendo-64, the 64-bit Console it emulates
   1964 has a plugin system, much like the PlayStation emulator PCSX, where anyone may write plugins for sound, controls, video, and RSP. Recommended computer specs for the emulator are an AMD Athlon XP 2200 or better, or Intel Pentium 4 class 2.0GHz or better, 512MB of RAM or more, and Windows 2000, XP or Vista. The higher CPU requirements are almost unavoidable when attempting to emulate such games as Goldeneye 007 and Perfect Dark, which pushed the original system to its limits.
   In this case, Windows XP or 2000 are essential for the win32 version of the emulator, because they offer increased stability over Windows 98 and ME. The stability is essential, due to the fact that emulation can often result in an application crashing. Under pre-NT systems, the entire background could crash if an emulator such as 1964 were to run into such things as an unsupported opcode.
   As with any advanced emulation, one of the largest issues of 100% compatibility is the CPU. The Nintendo 64's MIPS R4300i is extremely complex, and not all of its functions are supported.
   With the help of plugins like Rice Video 1964 can load high resolution textures.
