I recently created my first Super Mario 64 Hack: Super Mario 64 Haunted Woods and wanted to see if I could play it on Mac OS 9 with SixtyForce. Turns out I can, it is *just* playable on my Mac mini G4. My hack pushes the SM64 engine to the max with huge areas of the level, I spent hours optimizing enemy/object placement to prevent lag. Project 64 on my newer laptop has some more FPS then the Mac mini can push. Here's some screenshots:

By the way, here are the official threads for my ROM hack:

SMW Central

And here's a full play through on Windows:
 
Huh, I didn't realize there was an N64 emulator for Mac OS 9. What are you running it on, and what kind of performance do you get out of it?

On my Mac mini G4 I've ran the original SM64 perfectly, not much else yet but there is a compatibility list of titles. I've had really good performance, but this is on one of the most powerful OS 9 machines so not sure what to expect on other Macs.
