New Zelda disc details

[A Black Falcon]

I've played plenty of N64 games on PJ64 and other emulators. I know that it's difficult to get it right, but that's because these are just a bunch of students and the like doing all of the work. Nintendo has the resources to do much better than them, so I expect more from the big N.

I would too... but still, the fact that in that amount of time those people still have major problems emulating both of those systems says something. Or how about the Jaguar and Saturn... just starting to get semi-competent emulators now...

And those are 2D games, ABF. That's very different from changing the resolution of a 3D game, as all that basically does it sharpen all of the polygons and stretch the textures to fit the higher resolution. And PSX/N64 games look much better at higher resolutions. Things are less pixelated, less blurry. That goes for polygons and textures. Sin & Punishment looks a lot better in PJ64 at a high resolution than it does on the N64.

Warcraft III isn't 2d. :) Neither is Homeworld, but that one's not topdown so its really quite different... you can probably tell if you look, though. And how about Age of Mythology or Rise of Nations or something like that? I'm sure they have the same problem...

And using high resolutions might make it look sharper, but IMO that's exactly the problem -- those games often look bad sharp! You can tell better how the polygons are supposed to fuzz on the edges... it looks sharper for sure, but I don't think that's always a good thing. Though it definitely depends on the game a lot too... some react to higher rezes fine. Still... I really think that N64 games overall look better on an N64.

Though if the emulation was perfect and not flawed in many ways like it is, I well might think differently...
