To run some games you need one emulator, and to run other games you need a different emulator (or a different version of the same emulator). And I too don't understand why existing N64 emulators are so haphazard. Thanks for the insights, I appreciate it. I can't speak to how safe or unsafe this stuff is, but I can at least explain why this kind of programming is questionable. (If the code was right in the emulator itself, an injector would be unnecessary.) which makes me wonder why, after a DECADE, the emulator and add-on authors haven't collaborated together to get this done and put the whole injector/virus nonsense to rest. If the code was integrated directly into the emulator, this whole injection process wouldn't be necessary and we wouldn't be discussing this. This is the exact same process some viruses use to take over computers or to intercept/record/transmit things like mouse motions and keystrokes. There's virtually no reason, save for remote computing, that you would EVER need to convert one form of input into another across programs, as typically programs are self contained and can do this kind of stuff themselves.Ģ. The "injector" process is what brings up the red flags for two reasons:ġ.

The archive doesn't contain Perfect Dark or Goldeneye, so it's OK for me to post the link here.Īnyway, some people have been saying that it's malware, a key logger, full of viruses, etc, and others say it's clean, that the virus killers' reports are just false positives.

So if anyone here is familiar with the problem of false positives, and knows how to check for definite, please read on.Īs you might know, current N64 emulators aren't exactly ideal, and so someone created a downloadable archive file containing an N64 emulator (no piracy, the emulator is freeware) and a 'mouse injector', the latter allowing you to use mouse and keyboard (WASD keys) to play Perfect Dark and Goldeneye the way you'd play a native PC first person shooter (and it works great, by the way). Basically, I'm hoping that someone can say once and for all if the following program (and related files) are infected with malware or not.
