General Questions:
A. Nemu64 is a Nintendo64 emulator.
It is one of the most compatible N64 emulators and has good Videos support, good audio support and very good input support.
Q. Where can I download Nemu64?
A. You can download Nemu64 at the download
page or from the official
Nemu page.
A. The Nemu crew is:
Lemmy: Main coder

Alphatesters:
Myzar, Coolbest, ZoRiC and EmuManiac
Q. What are the system requirements to run
Nemu64?
A. Well, as stated in the Nemu64 readme file, the requirements are
as follows:-Minimum Requirements:
CPU: Pentium II class cpu or
compatible. Suggest 300mhz at least.
Video card: nVidia TNT/TNT2 or card capable of supporting
Direct-3D.
Sound: A card that is capable of playing any sample rate.

Q. What language was Nemu64 programmed in?
A. Object Oriented Pascal (Delphi).
However, according to a relatively recent news post, Nemu's
main exe, cpu core, and GUI are being recoded from Delphi to C. The
next release will
probably reflect the recode.
Q. How do I reset Nemu's settings?
A. Download this program and run it. Remember to read the ReadMe!.txt before use!
A. Since roms are illegal (unless you own
the cartridge) we won't give links to any commercial roms.
Q. When will the next version of Nemu64 be released?
A. Although Lemmy would probably through
his shoe at you for asking this,
we'll just tell you straight up: Don't ask that question. Although it could be intended
very innocently, the Nemu64 team works
their rear-ends off to release new versions. You can't rush art, and likewise, you
can't put a date on the next release of
Nemu64.
Q. Why can't I save in Zelda2 and Pokèmon Stadium?
A. Those games uses flashrom to store saves. Flashrom support isn't included in Nemu v0.7a, but the Nemu team has already made support for it and it will be included in the next version.

A. The official Nemu64 channel is #nemu64 at EFnet. The official NemuZONE channel is #nemuzone also at EFnet.
Q. Will there be newer versions of this FAQ? If so, where can I get them when they are released?
A. We, the NemuZONE team, do plan on
releasing future versions of this FAQ. If
we
acquire any more questions that we feel will suit this FAQ, we'll
add them into a newer version.
New versions can be found at NemuZONE.

Q. Is it possible for Nemu64 to run with my Voodoo Banshee?
A. There is a good chance that you can use your Banshee with Nemu64. By going to www.glsetup.com and downloading the GLSetup file, your Banshee files will be updated. I (snoopie) am the one who originally discovered that this could in fact allow Banshees to run Nemu, which is why I am confident enough about this fix to include this info about it in this FAQ. It works for me, and has been widely confirmed by other people as well.
Q. I get a "ERROR EnterRDPOnly: lpd3d already defined" error when I try to run a ROM. Is there a way to get rid of it?
A. Yes, there might be a solution. Try to
set your desktop color to 16bit and download the latest drivers for
your video card.
Q. How do I get Nemu to work with my Voodoo3 card?
A. Download the newest drivers and set your desktop color to 16 bit. Then set your Nemu resolution to the same as your desktop resolution. For best quality run Nemu in full screen.
Q. Why won't Nemu work with my Voodoo/Voodoo2 card
A. hWnd, the Nemu graphics programmer, has decided to not support secondary
video card because these cards need extra code to work, and 3DFX haven't made
drivers which can work with Direct3D without special support for it. Here's some words
from hWnd about this:
"It is a fairly poorly
kept secret that I, hWnd, have a grudge against 3DFX. I won't get into the
details, but as a coder, I refuse to write any special code to accomodate a
3DFX product. Because of this decision, secondary boards such as the Voodoo1
and Voodoo2 do not and will not work with Nemu64. I regret that the Voodoo
users among you are disappointed, but there will be no graphics code written to
accomodate a 3DFX product. I won't go out of my way to make things not work, so
if 3DFX decides to stop making developers jump thru hoops, their boards will
start working too."

Q. When I'm playing Zelda the video suddenly freezes but the game goes on. Is there any way to fix this?
A.
This is a known bug. I don't know any way to fix it besides restarting Nemu64.In Super Mario Kart, 2 player mode, the lower player is almost out of the screen. How do I fix this?
A.
Turn off TV Aspect mode in Video Options and everything should be correct.
Controller:
Q. Are there support for more than one player in Nemu?
A. Yes. Nemu support
s up to 4 players at the same time. I have tested 3 and that worked just fine.gamepad work with Nemu in Windows2000?
A. Download and install DirectX 8.0.
Audio:
Q. The sound in [Insert
game here, like Starfox64] is strange. How do I fix this?
A. Turn on Prebuffering from the Audio Options menu.
Q. The sound is skipping and
choppy. How do I fix this?
A. You can try turning on Prebuffering from the Audio Options menu. You probably will need a faster computer to get rid of the skipping or wait for future versions.
