Honestly. If I could find a way to emulate Goldeneye with ZERO crashes that would be great... they finally fixed the sky in PJ64 but I still have major frame-rate issues and crashes. If that got fixed I would get a USB N64 controller, hook my laptop up to tv and party like it's 1997. I'm running Windows 8.1 with a 2.6ghz processor, 8GB RAM and a great graphics card...

It may just be down to drivers and optimization then... Though your processor could probably do with an upgrade =p

Well when I bought my laptop 2.60GHz was somewhat high end. Even today the more affordable laptops rarely hit 2.00GHz. I understand the architecture is different but on paper it's hard to wrap my head around the fact that laptop can't play Goldeneye.The N64's CPU was 93.75MHz and RAM amount was 36Mb.

Aye, though emulation really does a number on your CPU 'cus a.) a lot of that processing power is going elsewhere to keep your computer running, and b.) a console is coded for a certain CPU, but as I say, it might just be a driver and optimization issue

Running an emulation of a game isn't the same thing as running a game on the hardware it was originally intended for. As for the speed of your precessor, you can't gauge the power of a CPU on clock speed alone. It's more useful to consider how much work is being done during each clock cycle than the overall speed of the chip. Here's a good article on the subject if your interested. It's also important to remember that laptops in general are bad for gaming (unless it's a laptop specifically built for gaming) no matter how modern it may be. Most of the time laptops have crappier mobile versions of desktop parts due to the need for lower power consumption/heat production, and on top of that you often get stuck with horrible integrated graphics. Out of curiosity, what graphics card do you have, Blade?

After a while the bullet holes disappeared.
You could also do strange things with mines in PD... I wonder who made that video... >: D
