I'm a person who owns a capture card and enjoys playing "retro" console games and recording them. I do this mostly for personal enjoyment and occasionally I try to do some speedrun stuff. For the speedruns, I believe in having the actual framerate of the console, to set the recording FPS to be the same. I love this page because it allows me to see the real framerates of many different consoles. However, I believe the N64 is a sorely missed addition. Of course, I'm aware that N64 emulation has come a long way since its creation and still has a ways to go, and is not as accurate as other emulators. But I wonder if one day we could know the real framerate for this console... it would make me a happy gamer :') Am I getting my hopes up? How far off is that day?

Considering Mupen64-rr is officially gone from submissions. Yes. Anyways, N64 is ~59.940fps, dunno what PAL is.

The page I linked to already gives the approximate framerate for N64. I was talking about the real N64 framerate, the exact one, like given for other consoles out to many decimal places. When you Speedrun, recording at the accurate FPS makes a difference. You can read this thread for more info. But yeah... it would be nice to know the accurate framerate for the N64 like we do for other consoles.
