Install Project 64K, and then download the following file: Project 64K Vista fix. I found that Project 64K, K being an modified version of Project 64, works on Vista with a small tweak. Not only will the resolution of each texture be increased, but the games will mostly be running at a solid 30fps because of modern computing power.įor Windows Vista, Project 64 version 1.6 won't work. Using the plugin, people are able to extract the textures and then use them to develop new, crisper and much more detailed textures for games. There are people who developed a plugin called RiceVideo for Project 64 and other emulators. This takes us into the gray area (it's really not gray) of N64 emulation and texture extraction.

I mean, who wouldn't want to play Perfect Dark in 720p or The Legend of Zelda? Emulators can already render N64 games at 1280x720 but they won't look very good in their native resolution. Since the N64 had the best games of my generation (no SNES for me), they deserve a little HD treatment. I decided to raise awareness of the excellent goal of updating or recreating textures for popular N64 games.
