RustyN64

RustyN64 is a free Nintendo 64 emulator written in pure Rust, built for cycle-accurate emulation. Its core schedules the CPU and coprocessors against a shared 187.5 MHz master-clock timeline. Version 0.7.0 is described as its first playable release, showing video, sound and controller input with homebrew ROMs. The project says its low-level graphics path matches Angrylion across 164 conformance vectors, while its accuracy battery remains stubbed at 0%. Identical seeds, ROMs and input sequences are stated to produce identical framebuffer and audio output. The desktop frontend offers save states, rewind and run-ahead, disabled by default. A WebAssembly browser entry point runs a homebrew ROM and displays video on a 2D canvas; a fuller browser shell remains roadmap work. Commercial support is limited: one title can boot and execute game code but has not yet reached a rendered frame. Desktop builds are listed for Linux x64, macOS ARM64 and Windows x64. Desktop use requires a wgpu-supported GPU backend, and commercial ROMs are not included.
