Update: most likely a fake

Our friends over at PS3News are reporting that a Nintendo 64 (N64) is in development for the PS3. While nothing has been released yet, demonstration videos have been posted.

We are a team of 3 guys who have been working on a Nintendo 64 emulator for quite some time now, and we have decided to go out with the news since now our N64 emulator is officially working on the PS3.

We still have a huge load of things to work on, but it's playable and N64 is finally working on the PS3.

What we have done so far:

* 1 player (keyboard only)
* We have succeeded to enable gameshark codes
* Graphics works excellent on most games we have tried; Mario 64, Donkey Kong 64, Ridge Racer 64, Diddy Kong Racer, Mario Kart 64, Banjo Kazooie and 1080 Snowboard.
* Games we have tried that are jerky (so far): Duke Nukem 64, Doom 64, Hexen 64 and WCW Smackdown 64.


Issues (we are working on):

* Audio is not working yet.
* A user interface and the ability to edit and change files such as controller settings, cheat codes, etc. (We do all this over FTP now).
* Game menu (we now have to upload one game at the time).
* PS3 controller, (we now have to use a USB keyboard).
* Multiplayer.


We have decided to use ps3news and youtube to communicate with you guys, and if you want to help us out, feel free to either email us at [email protected] or PM us on youtube.

Here's the youtube video we just uploaded:

Why does this scream 'fake' to me? Not that I don't believe an n64 emulator is extremely possible on a ps3.

Yup... I briefly looked at 2 videos, and it just looks fake... if it's real they should just release and alpha and quit toying around with videos.

I couldn't really give a crap about my Ps3 for games because my 360's cheaper and better for them. I only got my Ps3 for homebrew and a few exclusives and homebrew's just happening a lot slower than i expected, i thought there'd be at least something other than a possibly faked video by now but i guess i just bought my Ps3 too early and have to be patient.
