When the games came out, I remember the old 4 screen multiplayer Mario Kart 64 days. Then soon after Goldeneye 007, which blew my mind.

      If you have a strong PC and setup software emulation with modern emulators, and use CRT filters / shaders, then its not bad. It’s pretty good nowadays. I mean its even good enough for Speedrunners as a replacement for real hardware. Most 3D emulation will never be perfect. We don’t even reach perfect emulation for most 2D and older hardware. To me the biggest problem is the game controller setup. With the layout of the regular controllers, some games aren’t as good to play (Mischief Makers / Yuke Yuke Troublemakers come to my mind).

        Shaders are good when used properly, usually not in 16:9 1080p LCDs; old hardware is relatively cheap and emulation not very faithful in this case. On controller side looks like there’s an 8bitdo controller but I’m not informed , I just need a way to control X-axis (oh lol, I was confused with GameCube for the axis, in n64 you have one stick for the movement with usually standard axis.)
