In addition to all of the software that could possibly run on them being
proprietary, most dedicated video game systems since the "third generation"
(starting with the NES) are jails. The Nintendo 64 is not one of the few
exceptions, nor are any of Nintendo's "home consoles". Besides, the Nintendo
64 is an ancient, not especially capable system; most modern PCs can emulate
it in software more or less perfectly. See Mupen64Plus, for example. So even
if there is libre software for the Nintendo 64, you can run it that way. (I
doubt there is; I haven't looked at the way Nintendo 64 games are developed
specifically, but I know that development for the SNES involved various
proprietary programs running on Windows. I would expect the Nintendo 64 to be
similar in that regard.)
