Description : Cycle-Accurate Nintendo 64 Simulator
CEN64 is a new Nintendo 64 emulator which aims for perfect emulation by simulating the
hardware inside the Nintendo 64 itself, down to the register-transfer level (RTL). It
is still heavy under development and currently does not have any sound emulation.
Being a cycle-accurate emulator, CEN64 has considerably high hardware requirements
to achieve passable performance when emulating most Nintendo 64 titles. However,
similar to the higan emulator, the cycle accuracy guarantess very high compatibility
and despite its early development stage, CEN64 already allows to run several commercial
titles without or with only minor glitches.
As a distinctive feature among Nintendo 64 emulators, CEN64 offers emulation support for the
64DD external disk drive that was never released outside Japan and even there is considered
rare. Thus, CEN64 offers the unique possibility for anyone to play any of the rare titles
that were exclusively released on the 64DD.
