I know, what I meant is that N64 emulators on PC aren't even on an acceptable level, for me. I know you'll say that by tweaking with 30 different plugins will finally display those damn shadows in Paper Mario correctly, but I seriously (nor probably the other 5 billions of people out there) do not want to fiddle with plugins for MORE time than I'll probably end playing the game I was configuring them for.lolwut
"Acceptable" and "accurate" are two entirely different things, man.
It's well-known that N64 emulation is inaccurate (just take a look at the PJ64 game help file to see how many have graphical issues or need a setting tweak)... but then again we didn't get an SNES emulator that could display the shadows in Air Strike Patrol until ~2012 with BSNES, but people had considered SNES emulation acceptable for years beforehand.
We need a GOOD low-level N64 emulator without plugins (a-la Xebra), the N64 deserves it.
