Review
Projec64 sees updates only once in a while when zilmar feels like it. Also, Project64 2.x has a LOT of issues and regressions from 1.6 and even the leaked 1.7 betas, mostly dealing with timing issues and such. It's clearly half-finished.
Plugins
See the Recommended N64 Plugins page.
NetPlay
Uses Kaillera or AQZ.
