project 64 - the best performing n64 emulator

Although I'm a strong support of Mupen64, there is no doubt the king of N64 emulators is Project 64. It's been around for a long time and it was built by the geniuses of the N64 emulator scene. Jabo and Schibo. These guys have built the best running, most compatible, and most popular Nintendo 64 emulator on the planet. Their latest build, 1.7 is a closed beta release and may or may not be released to the general public.

What are the advantages of Project 64?

Support is a big one. Since PJ64 has been around so long, it has a massive following. There are a lot of tutorial and help websites and resources out there. Project 64 is also the most stable released N64 emulator. Not a lot of glitches. It basically runs well on most decent PCs. I will get into the specific PC minimum requirements later on. Project 64 also runs the most games. A lot of other N64 emulators can run some games well, but it can't run as many games well. Compatibility is something a lot of N64 emulators struggle with.

Can I play Nintendo 64 game online with Project 64?

Simply put no. I just suggest using Mupen64 if you want to play online. PJ64 does have an unofficial release PJ64K which has online play. Is the quality good? For one or two games yes. For GoldenEye and most other games? No, PJ64K does not do a good job when compared to Mupen64. If you want to play SSB online, then sure, give PJ64K a shot. Mupen64 is still the better choice however.

Does Project 64 support GameShark codes?

Yes! Project 64 has a fantastic interface for entering GameShark codes. This is a great feature for GoldenEye fans because there are so many fantastic Gameshark codes out there. Start checking them out while using Project 64!

Where can I download Project 64?

Well, check back here in a week. Many more PJ64 resources are being added.
