Best for: School-issued Chromebooks, users who cannot install software, or those wanting to play instantly without setup.
If your Chromebook supports the Google Play Store, you can download N64 emulators.

: Using the ChromeOS Linux (Crostini) environment , users can install the native PC port or "SM64 Co-op Deluxe". This is the smoothest way to play, supporting 60 FPS and 4K resolutions on capable hardware.
It’s proof that a great game is immune to hardware. You can put a 1996 Italian plumber inside a 2026 plastic educational toy, and he will still make you smile. Just remember to close your other tabs.
