Nemu64

Nemu64 is a lightweight and portable software application which enables you to emulate Nintendo 64 games in order to play them on the computer. It features several advanced settings that should meet the requirements of most users.

No installation necessary

Since there is no setup pack involved, you can copy the program files to any part of the hard disk and just click the executable to launch Nemu64. Another option is to save the tool to a USB flash disk or other removable storage unit, in order to run it on any PC effortlessly and without previously installing anything.
An important factor worth keeping in mind is that the program does not add new entries to the Windows registry or Start menu, so no traces are left behind after its removal.

Classical-looking interface with advanced options

The GUI consists of a normal window with a plain and simple structure, where you can load Rom and Zip files via the file browser or drag-and-drop method. It is possible to start a Nemu movie recording, save the emulator's current state and load it at a later time, as well as to pause and reset it.
You can also change the resolution, view any errors, start a Netplay session, and resort to various plugins to enhance Nemu64's functionality, such as those related to commands, memory, registers, bookmarks, statistics, and so on. Audio, video and input plugins can be configured. These are just some of the options available in this software tool.

Evaluation and conclusion

The tool does not put a strain on PC performance, since it runs on low CPU and memory. It has a good response time and did not hang, crash or pop up error messages in our tests. We must keep in mind that it has not been updated for a long time.
