CEN64 vs Wii64 / Cube64

CEN64 is a free Nintendo 64 emulator for Windows, Linux, and macOS. It aims to reproduce the console by modeling its hardware at the register-transfer level, while optimization remains a goal for eventual full-speed play on modest systems. To run a game, users need a valid NTSC or PAL pifdata.bin file and a big-endian .z64 ROM. CEN64 can also run 64DD disk images with a valid 64ddipl.bin file and an .ndd image. The README documents EEP4K, EEP16K, FLASH, and SRAM save options; users select the save type themselves. A multithread option is available and is described as faster than running without it. Prebuilt executables are linked for Windows and Linux, including a Debian 9 x86_64 Linux build. On macOS, the emulator must currently be built from source, using CMake, iconv, OpenAL, and OpenGL. The project uses the BSD-3-Clause license. An open issue reports an ARM build limitation.
