skimmed through the article apart from not playing on the original hardware hasn't n64 emulator being around for awhile...even to merely to try a game out

There aren't performant, accurate low level emulators. Everything relies in custom plugins that may be tuned for specific games. The PS Vita should have the horsepower for N64 emulation, but it doesn't run well at all. Even FPGA cores can't run home brew that works on original hardware.

There's so much more to it than just running Mario Kart 64 and Goldeneye.
