V64 is a Nintendo 64 ROM Dump file. It contains a copy of a Nintendo 64 game cartridge. V64 files allow users to play Nintendo 64 games on computers with emulation software. The file extension is associated with game emulator software. V64 files belong to the Game Files category along with other game formats.
The most popular program to open V64 files is Project64 for Windows. OpenEmu and N64oid are alternatives for Mac and Android. To learn more about V64 files and software, check the Project64 website.
V64 files can be opened on Mac OS and Windows using Nintendo 64 emulators. Software allows computers to mimic the console and play the games. If an emulator is not set as the default V64 opener, right click the file. Choose open with and select the emulator. Check the box to always use that application.
If a Nintendo 64 cartridge is copied with Doctor 64, it saves as a V64 file. The format stores the game so it can be played without the console. Emulators for Mac and PC need to be installed to launch V64 files.
The V64 format differs from typical big-endian or little-endian data. Non-byte swapped Nintendo 64 ROMs use the Z64 file extension instead.
