    does anyone know where to actually get good nintendo 64 roms. i've tried romhustler but none of their files work for some reason and i've downloaded almost all nintendo 64 emulators available.

    NOTE: To dissolve any concerns, i own and have purchased every one of the games i'm putting onto my computer.

    unfortunately this is still considered piracy as far as i know, all i could say is try a p2p program like limewire.

    so long as you own the original versions of the games your getting the roms for it is perfectly legal.

    the best n64 emulator by far is Project 64 - http://www.pj64.net/main/download/func,select/id,2/

    The best place to get roms is http://www.romhustler.net

    just remember it is concidered piracy if you download a rom for a game you dont own

    every single one of the files ive downloaded from rom hustler have worked.

    just make sure you vote for the sites like it asks you to before you download the roms otherwise you wont actually get the real rom

    i downloaded the project 64 emulator and that works fine but when i downloaded the roms from romhustler they wouldnt work with project64. any suggestions??

    the roms when downloaded were 7z. files or something.

    winrar opens the .7z files. just open up the folder with winrar and extract the files. the files you extract will work with the emulator.

    you cant drag and drop the zipped file into the emulator as that doesnt work (ive tried)

    like i say just extract the rom files using winrar and youll be able to play away
