It was crystal clear for me but that had the runner pause and announced they had to reboot the stream.

The framerate kept spiking down because of network issues. We're going to go to a fallback until we get something more stable. Should be back soonish.

Yeah it's because the original N64 emulators were based on a race to be the first to have an emulator working while the system was still a major platform. So all of them are just chock full of special hacks for each particular ROM to run correctly, and doing wacky stuff like skipping emulation of large chunks of the system to directly render on your 1999 PC's 3D card for that goal. This is also why the only TASBot runs on N64 games you tend to see are for a very few popular N64 games where the hacks have piled up high enough to accurately reproduce the console's behavior for that game.

The intention behind this was to discourage untalented third-party developers from releasing poor-quality games -- it was no longer practical for Yamauchi to personally approve every game -- but the plan backfired somewhat: given the commercial success of previous Nintendo systems, third-party developers were still keen to get their games on a Nintendo console, and this consequently led to a number of sloppy, low-quality third-party games that clashed significantly with the high-quality first- and second-party titles that were being released on the platform.

i don't even think that made any real difference; early 3d games were largely complete messes anyway, and the n64 using carts hurt it a hell of a lot more than being hard to program for, in addition to also compounding the difficulty in programming.

Well yeah but that isn't because of any particular feature of the console, it's the fact that emulating it right wasn't possible on the PC hardware of 1999 or for many years after, so everybody took the heavy shortcuts way instead.

Much as I love Prime 1 and the speedruns of it I do wish they'd do Prime 2 more often. The trick at the very start of that run is absolutely insane.

I think that's one of the two primary reasons, the other being the system's messed up architecture. The N64 uses a unified architecture, there's no "read, send to GPU, render" process. Everything's done in the same memory, which is very hard to emulate on x86 architecture. You have to render the image first using the RDP, modify it on the CPU and then re-render it with the graphics card. This is not a trivial process on x86 CPUs. It's similar to how we have barely functional Saturn emulation, but I think another problem there is that the Saturn was just never popular enough to attract the attention of emulator programmers.

This run makes me really really want to play through the Prime trilogy again. Those games are so good. I never did end up collecting all the mcguffins in the first game and finishing it. Come to think of it, I never collected all the mcguffins and finished the second game, either. And I don't remember if the third game had mcguffins but I never finished it either so I'm going to assume it did.

I'd just like to say in regards to Dolphin chat that Dolphin can run Metroid Prime at full speed throughout the entire game on my potato of a computer. gently caress, it can kind of even run Xenoblade on this thing with barely any lag. Dolphin is seriously the best emulator I've ever used.

At some point during the game you get to this huge arena, so you know there's going to be a boss battle. I just went "can't do it" and never played further..e: and loving seriously, I can't even listen to this poo poo without being stressed out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cWbLagjxbA

Prime 2 mostly runs great albeit with a weird black bar on the bottom when I last tried it.

Speaking of running this game through Dolphin, I'm tempted to now since it's been a long time since I last played it. Since I still have the disc handy can I just run it off of that or would I need to find an .iso somewhere?

Oh absolutely, both of them have the Twilight Princess problem: they're very, very far from bad games, they just can't possibly match up with what came before.
