Not OP, but Project64 has been sucking major dick for years now. It's gone through major regressions since the last stable version, and there's basically no reason to use the stable over every other modern N64 emulator. The one niche it had is that it had slightly better Transfer Pak and 64DD emulation than the others, but even there ares has caught up. It's frankly irrelevant now.

Old versions have a severe ACE exploit that leaves your system vulnerable to maliciously crafted N64 ROMs.
Older versions are popular for netplay.

New versions of PJ64 were bundled with malware in their installer, or were changed to donation/nagware.

PJ64 was already being discouraged from use for multiple reasons but this is a really, really good reason to stop using it completely.

Don't care. Still not using shit made by trannies. Still playing my OoT on my PJ64. Still circumventing the 30 second begging screen by quickly opening and closing the program once. You can't stop me.

Does the N64 even have a good emulator? I never bothered with it and PJ64 has always seemed like a huge mess anyways before they full on decided to give their emulator a "donate to us or wait 30 seconds" screen. I've just been hooking up my N64 rather than bother with emulators but I haven't checked in many years now and PJ64 was the only reasonably far along one at the time.

There's nothing wrong with using them. Many people just downloaded it like a decade ago and it plays everything they want it to, so why wouldn't they just keep using it if it already does what they want? I don't understand this elitism around emulators. If you're trying to get the absolute best performance and accuracy out of it, then sure, it's bad. But do you think anyone using ZSNES or VBA give a shit about that? Obviously not.

[Anonymous No.10724276]

>>10724273
No, in this situation, there are different grades of emulators that are serviceable in how they deliver performance versus accuracy.

Older emulators like ZSNES and VisualBoyAdvance, deliver neither. They aren't written to take full advantage of modern system capabilities and should only be considered for ancient hardware.
There are modern emulators that are written to account for lower spec but modern hardware too. This is a lot of what makes those retro budget handhelds work so well.

[Anonymous No.10724281]

>>10724268
But nobody is arguing that ZSNES is the best emulator. They just use it because it does everything they want it to. People tend not to bother upgrading software or doing things like this unless they have a reason to. I'm sure my newest graphics card update or whatever looks nicer and might operate a bit smoother than what I'm running right now but I definitely do not give a shit because it doesn't really impact anything I'm playing right now to any meaningful degree.

I used to not give a fuck about emulators, and just used whatever seemed easiest. Then I tried to sit down and play through TMNT on JNES or some other similar low accuracy emulator. Went well enough, until I reached the end of the fifth level. Suddenly the game hard-locked on a black screen and I lost all progress. Looking it up, it's a problem caused by emulators not properly emulating a specific quirk or whatever. Now I don't use anything less than the most accurate emulator I can get, since I don't want to waste a bunch of my time playing through a game only to need to start over from the beginning on a different emulator.
People who accept inaccurate emulation are just people who haven't had inaccurate emulation fuck a game up for them.

The irony here is that these damn kids already participate in numerous risks as it is with the inherent nature of clicking on whatever link they happen upon via Google search,
and that's just one risk of many.

But wait, everyone is forgetting something...

Fuck, what is it...?
Oh!
That's right!
>checksums
>hashes
...tools that have been around for decades!

Fucks sake.
People are blowing this out of proportion.
Apparently speedrunners mandate 1.6 for whatever reason, but if they're using valid, matching hash ROMs, then what's the issue??

>b-but muh romhacks!!1!
these faggots need to be honest with themselves and ask "how often am i downloading shitposts to where my r34 folder will get sniped?"

fucking stop it!

I would recommend RMG for N64 Emulation. Not Perfect but better interface, easier to hook up the controller into and play. Graphical options.
