We used to allow Mupen64-rr in the past, but not anymore. We have ported Mupen64Plus to BizHawk, but N64 emulation is far from perfect. There is still hope for N64 emulation accuracy to be near or mostly perfect. CEN64 will be used for accuracy and possibility Mupen64++ for performance. There is one hack in particular that relies on a bug on a version of a specific emulator. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest Debug will crash if actor 0001 is present. It doesn't crash on Project64 1.7 beta, as we dub it the antifreeze bug. I don't know why Project64 1.7 beta didn't reach its final state. Leaks prevented it from happening and it got skipped, and Project64 2.x removed the bug entirely, and the emulator got banned from speedrunning. UPDATE: Moved from General

Am I reading this right that there is a person ready to start porting the core and the only problem is which to chose?

I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

I am reading it as someone having the manpower to help MarathonMan develop CEN64 to the point where it's "core-ready".

I don't have the experience, but how far as the emulator developed, it's getting there. We could test it in an interim build of BizHawk.

What is getting where? How would interim builds of bizhawk help with all this?
