Official Switch emulation is bad and somehow a step backwards from Wii U.

Unofficial emulators work fine.

I thought that N64 emulation was fine? Saturn emulation on the other hand...

Nah man, Wii U N64 emulation is the worst of all.

Switch is worse than Wii N64 emulation though

Anyways, an everdrive and an original 64 is the solution to your conundrum

Saturn has actually improved a ton over the last few years.

I feel like I was playing N64 games just fine on Project64 in the early to mid 2000s, yeah

Used to play 64 on my laptop, most games worked ok but a few were just unplayable, usually the ones that required the memory expansion thing.

I would love official ports of games like GoldenEye, Perfect Dark, Diddy Kong Racing, Start Fox 64, Mischief Makers, etc. Not just emulated like Nintendo has been doing.

It went to a point where it was "good enough" to play most games, and then most moved on to other emulators.

I've had no or very little problems playing my backups. I use Mupen64 / Mupen 64 Plus. The settings are a little bit of a pain to mess with but once I got them set up I was fine. I play on a dedicated android operated handheld.

Still incorrect. Keep in mind that switching cores back and forth is a thing as all N64 games are definitely not designed the same.

Try Mario Kart 64. The frame pacing is awful and the game runs at like 3x speed on some tracks like Moo Moo Farms

Retroarch has the best N64 emulators. Parallel Dynarec achieves perfect N64 emulation.

I only use RetroArch for SNES/Genesis and earlier. Also the GB handhelds.
Everything else I use a standalone emulator for.

At least they came up with better graphics plugins such as Angrylion RDP Plus, GLideN64, and ParaLLEl-RDP starting in 2015. We've come a long way from corrupted N64 emulated graphics, at least if you can find the right plugins.

Simple64 is excellent overall. Easy to configure and it usually just works. Only a few games here and there have minor issues, but usually nowhere close to the issues of the past.

Yup. I use it on the Retroid Pocket 3+. I wish RetroArch had cores that worked better for everything. I would love to only have to use RA.

It's not cycle accurate like some of the newer N64 emulators on PC nowadays, which are quite demanding to be fair.

I still play N64 on the actual hardware but it's really showing its age

I want to emulate on my new laptop but haven't gotten around to looking up which ones are actually decent
