Miss your n64? Wish you could play Goldeneye without getting Steam and playing some multiplayer mock-up? Well…, you can!

Tools required: PC running windows, Xbox 360 Wired control, Project64, G.E Rom (takes less than 5mins to setup!)

Download the n64 emulator from http://www.pj64-emu.com/downloads/ and install. After this is complete a quick search on coolrom will return the ‘rom’ you need (replica of the game) From here you will want to extract the zip file and load it into project64 (file >open). If you have a wired xbox control just plug it in and it should install automatically (you can also use any input device)

I personally belive i have found the perfect contoller setup:

 Rx is the right Analogue and Ry is the left analogue, – & + refer to up and down. (think of it in maths-graph terms?)

I did reverse A and B though as i kept ending up switching weapons accidently =(

Also you can use the pov0-4 (the control d-pad) to move but why would you when you have two really sensitive joyticks. Happy hunting for that golden gun!

Taking this idea further, hook up your HDTV as a main monitor with the VGA cable (HD is pointless:P) and add upto 4 input devices (only one keyboard ideally!) and have yourself some retro-group-fun.

Note: i know this isn’t a new idea and couldn’t care less if your a 1337 h4×0r who’s been doing this for years, this article is aimed at helping everyone enjoy modern technology!

Spotify (previously an invite only site) has now opened its doors to the rest of the Internet! Spotify allows users to search and (hopefully) finds music from its vast library and then allows the playing of music through the downloadable program. Unfortunately you can’t download the tracks and it is ad-supported (one VERY short ad every several tracks) but you don’t notice it really!  Besides you can create and save playlists of music like you can with youtube. (and can retrieve said lists from any location) So no, no ‘free’ music in a way, you do have to be online and running the spotify program, quite simply its youtube without videos! ( = no copyright problems, no crap videos, no dodgy quality and best of all, no commenting!!)

Quick Edit: Note: You can also hook it upto your last.fm account happy scrobbling.
