    Question Infamous N64 Star Wars Games

    I know that most N64 emulators won't run the Star Wars games (except for the podracer), but I was wondering why they won't run. Is there something in the programming that makes them incompatibles with emulators?

    It's only Battle for Naboo/Rogue Squadron that don't work? They both have PC versions anyway...

    Shadows of the Empire works fine, with some minor graphical glitches.

    Minor is an understatement. Anytime you move or do anything, the emulator flashes. And I know the both have pc versions. I wanted to know what the code looked like, if anyone has reverse-engineered the ROMs.

    You can always emulate older X86 PC's with a few different emulators

    Oracle VM VirtualBox that can run Dos to Windows 7 and a few linux based OS's but you do need to have that OS to use it (this is a machine emulator not an OS emu, but there are free versions of Dos and Linux)
    DosBox that can run alot of older Dos games (this is a Dos emulator)

    There are othet but the above are free

    Mod projects - XBOX
    Phantasy Star Online Episodes 1 & 2 - online quests in offline mode packs [COMPLETE]
    [Quest Packs Collection]
    GTA San Andreas - Hot Coffee [COMPLETE]

    GTA San Andreas - Real Car Names extra content mod [WIP] [Back burner, just won't have the time ]
