Can the R40S Pro Run Nintendo 64?

Compiled & reviewed by Urs von Gunten, HandheldWiki editorial · How we rate ·

Partly. The R40S Pro can run Nintendo 64, but expect compromises. Lighter games like Super Mario 64 and Mario Kart 64 are playable, while demanding titles such as The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask and Perfect Dark will struggle with slowdown. Workable for a patient player, not a flawless experience.

Why Nintendo 64 is the test: the N64's quirky hardware and heavy use of microcode make accurate emulation surprisingly demanding — some games still need per-title tweaks.
