I would like to give the speedrun a try but I have no way of recording my N64. Which emulator is the best for battletanx? Project 64 3.0 works but the framerate is awful (20fps ish). Anybody as any recommendation?
I know that Akuretaki did his runs on Project 64 3.0.x without issues but outside of that, not much research has been done on the emu side of things for this game. You are always able to record n64 with a phone or webcam as long as it is watchable (i.e. no screen obstructions, no extreme glare, etc)
So far the best I found is Simple64. I run well and looks like it lag where a real N64 would too but I cant Neutral reset.
Running original hardware is always a big W over EMU, especially because there's more people and strats to compare to on the OG side of things. Like lolaway says, point your phone at the screen and it's no biggie. Or you could grab a capture card on amazon for 10 bucks.
If its ok for the leaderboard Im gonna start on emulator and if I enjoy it enough Im gonna buy a capture card. Without neutral reset emulator should be slower even if it lag less. (it look about the same to me)
Honestly if you can't do the neutral resets I'm not sure why you'd want to run this game. That is what makes the run since there isn't much else going for it (tricks/glitches wise). I think you'd be better off playing on n64 w/ neutral resets to see if you enjoy the game. Like I said before, any simple webcam or phone recording is fine as long as the video is still verifiable.
I cant use my N64 without a capture card since I dont have a TV tto plug it into and I want to stream my attempt and that wouldnt really be practical with a phone. Im gonna use this time to learn the route and get a feel for the control again
