“[NSO – Nintendo 64] Version 2.3.1 is available with bug fixes for Kirby 64. That’s it. Technical details! The error may have originated from N’s AOT compiler for MIPS -> aarch64, as the only files updated were AOT.nro and .pcb. Interestingly, switchbrew says that the NRO is not used, but those were the only files changed (not even the main emulator executable).”

Editor’s note:
It is clear that the emulation of the N64 could be better. However, considering the situation that PlayStation is experiencing with its classic titles, it is clear that at least Nintendo is listening to its fans and has corrected the problems that have arisen on its server.
