I'd pay $40 for a PC version of Rare Replay.

Is there any reason why we have more N64 recomp than PS1?

Probably because PS1 games emulate really well - See how good you can make MGS1 look with Duckstation.

N64 emulation on the other hand... still has the games looking like trash. Recomp lets them breathe.

Fingers crossed for a No Mercy decomp

What do you mean "trash"? Any N64 emulator can upscale games just like Duckstation. And they don't need perspective correction because that's already there, natively.

A more reasonable explanation is that a lot of PSX games have already been ported on PC. All Resident Evil games, WipEout, Final Fantasy 7, Metal Gear Solid, etc, all have official PC ports. Most of these ports already have very good mods. But N64 exclusives only get official releases on Nintendo consoles. And sure, you can still emulate them on PC but modding them this way is harder.

Get integral on GOG, use ASI loader and play at 60fps with LS.

Ah yes. The 4 player N64 game that you can play with busted controllers. The Mario Party to Dr. Mario pipeline

I don't know if I can handle all those rare games running at 4K 120.

It would be great time for anew Dr Mario. Even a remake.

It is sad, Nintendo ran from it after the pandemic, and didn't acknowledge Dr Mario. But, it would be good to see it again.

In a heartbeat.

besides what others have said, the main reason is the Mario 64 Decomp, that project made a lot of tools and documentation of how to decomp a N64 game, making it easier to decomp other N64 games. Take in mind that the Mario 64 decomp project took years, with a lot of people working on it, it was basically a professional decompilation project.
