Re: Best N64 emulators?

I'm not making any promises, but if I did make an N64 section it would look something like this.  It's quite simple to do, really.  For the Genesis section I wrote a script that takes a folder full of ROMs, zips each one up, then tosses all their data in the database (title, filename, cart size, and download size).  It was much less work to write a script then to do it manually.  Now that the script's tested all I need to do is find a Good set, extract the US roms, then point my script at em.  Once that's done I can fill in the rest of the data like players and screen shots, which is also a nice excuse to try out all the games.

I also have a script which puts the Vimm's Lair url in the ROM headers but I'm not sure if that's necessary anymore.  On the one hand I don't think leechers are as much of a problem nowadays with BitTorrent's rise in popularity, yet it has proven an excellent source of advertising (don't exactly have many options).  I haven't run it on the Genesis Vault yet but I can always do it later.

The last post I read about prohibited N64 releases was related to the ESA, not the DMCA. I guess from the posts here, the ESA as we knew it doesn't exist anymore. As far as the ESA was concerned, the only games that were off the prohibited list were the Banjo-Kazoo series and ... something else (Codemasters releases, perhaps?). All Mario, Zelda, and Final Fantasy releases were prohibited at that point in time. But that was six months ago at least, when the ESA was still around.

Anyone have more current information? Thanks. :-)
