1964 is a Nintendo 64 emulator for the Windows operating system, written in C and released as free software software under the GNU General Public License.[2] It is one of the oldest and most popular N64 emulators and has support for many of the commercial N64 games released up to this date.[citation needed] The name consists of "19" (as in 1996, the year the Nintendo 64 was released) and "64" (as in Nintendo 64).
When using the Rice Video Video Plugin, 1964 can load high resolution textures and use them in place of textures used in an N64 game.[citation needed]

[edit] History
1964 is known to have been around since at least May 2001, the month it joined Source Forge.[2] It's last release is 0.9.9, and offered at the official site.[3] 0.9.9 is the first release with Netplay support.[1] The oldest release still available is 0.7.0, released on Friday, November 23, 2001.[3]
1964 currently is a Windows only N64 emulator with typical features like a dynamically recompiling CPU emulator. 1964 supports plugins written atop Zilmar's N64 Plugin Specifications.[citation needed]
The peak of 1964's popularity was in 2004, around the release date of 1964 0.9.9.[1][4]
[edit] System Requirements
The minimal recommended hardware specifications for the emulator are:[citation needed]
- An AMD Athlon XP 2200 or better, or Intel Pentium 4 class 2.0GHz or better
- 512MB of RAM or more
- Windows 2000, XP or Vista
Higher CPU requirements may be imposed when attempting to emulate resource intensive games such as Goldeneye 007 and Perfect Dark. Older versions of 1964 are known to run on the Windows 95, 98, and ME Operating Systems.
[edit] Netplay
1964 is the only Nintendo 64 emulator with built in Network Play support.[citation needed] Like many emulator implementations of netplay,[citation needed] it uses the now inactive Kaillera networking library.[1]
