Also the PS1, with Bleem.
That generation of consoles seems to have been the only one where current consoles could be emulated on a low-spec PC with good compatibility. I'm not sure why. Perhaps that PC technology was still skyrocketing in the late '90s, outstripping current consoles so rapidly that emulators didn't need to be efficient, and the console devs hadn't yet made any major attempt at DRM.

Funnily enough the PS1 and N64 are probably two of the worst mainstream consoles to emulate now. Progress on them seems to have been completely outstripped by most other consoles in the past decade.
