Castlevania 64 enhancements

Overview Discussion (7)

Castlevania 64 enhancements
This guide was made for the following emulators:
  • RMG (recommended)
  • Project 64 (I recommend the Luna fork as it removes the nagware and adds a few enhancements)
Some information:

  • Required rom for the 60 fps code: Castlevania (U) (V1.0) [!]
  • Killing the biker skeletons in the Castle Center crashes the game sometimes. Be sure to use stave states in this part to avoid frustation.
  • Carrie's recolor pack was made for the original Castlevania 64 only

Open the Castlevania rom first before you begin configuring things.
Restart the emulator after applying changes from this guide.

General enhancements

In the video tab:
  • Aspect Ratio -> Try to adjust 4:3 game to fit (for widescreen)
  • Tick Overscan -> NTSC -> put 4 in all fields (removes black bars in the corners)
  • Enable VSync (removes screen tearing)

Tweak Anti-aliasing and Anisotropic filtering to your liking.
N64-style 3 point is the more faithful one but also heavier on resources.



60 fps code
  1. Go to System -> Cheats
  2. Click Add
  3. Enter a name (eg: 60 fps)
