    N64 100% but mabe not all games as its the emulator its self, project64 is best http://www.pj64-emu.com/downloads/startdown/34/ , glide64 plugin will be best for your graphics card , place guild3x.dll in the main folder of your emuator and the rest in plugins folder download it hear http://www.emuxhaven.net/forums/showthread.php?s=8963a6c495147d14354de4d56e55fe5c&t=7202

    Gamecube requires very good system try dolphin http://www.dolphin-emu.com/news.php , youtube is good to fined out how they work http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8I6Jrlhu_Y

    glide plugin will not work on his graphics card at all. Glide is for 3dfx cards.

    also no mentioning other romsites.

    download project 64 and also Mupen as they both run different N64 games very well. with both of these youl be able to play everysingle N64 game.

    make sure you get the Ngage plugin to emulate the N64 joystick

    Glide64 dose work on geforce cards , as its bean refixed , I think glide3x.dll in main folder on the emualtor fixes this issue

    I have a Nvidia PNY geforce 8400gs 512mb ddr2 PCI , and it works grate!

    EDIT: no romsites thats fine!

    the name is misleading then, glide died with 3dfx. No modern cards can use it. I believe it was losing out to opengl anyway.

    glide3x.dll that downloadable with guild64 has bean updated , they have own custom glide3x.dll to work with most moden cards geforce , ati est

    EDIT: They call it Napalm WX http://www.emuxhaven.net/forums/showthread.php?t=7202 , Download both attached files place glide3x.dll in the main folder of your emulator and the overs in plugins folder , then its works with the abouth cards

    I supose config the keys with the emulator, Even if its a joypad settings plugin you can still press each key on your keybord to use

    My hardware requirements are no good for gamecube, I can not use it

    EDIT: I forgot your system is 64bit project64 might not work...
