==Comparisons==
Although many Nintendo 64 emulators have been made and many games can be run between them, complete compatibility and/or accuracy still leaves a bit to be desired. For half a decade, Mupen64Plus and Project64 have vied for most playable emulator, and which has been more compatible has depended on when and in what configuration each emulator has been tested. Both emulators default to lackluster plugins, but, as of August 2017, both emulators have roughly equal graphical accuracy when run with GLideN64. Mupen64Plus arguably has the edge in audio accuracy over Project64 + Azimer's audio plugin.
* [[Project64Mupen64Plus]] is one of the most compatible N64 emulatorsa cross-platform, open source emulator based on Hacktarux's Mupen64. Its official release build was in 2015 and is a decent choice for emulating many gamesgenerally inferior to Project64's more recent releases, both popular and lesser known. It is currently very actively developedhowever, is capable as of using a wide variety of plugins[[https://github.com/mupen64plus/mupen64plus-core/pull/336 July 2017]], and the codebase has a relatively user-friendly interfacereached compatibility parity with Project64, when both emulators are run with GLideN64. It presently remains confined to Windowslacks a native GUI, instead being run either from the command line, though work is underway to port it to Android or by dragging and dropping ROMs onto the executable and Linuxediting the config with a text editor such as Notepad++. It works well in WINE There are several third-party GUIs made for it, of which M64Py may be the most partsolid. The end-user experience has improved recently with [https://m64p.github.io/ m64p], but if you're on which combines new versions of Mupen64Plus with GLideN64 and a different platformnew Qt5 GUI. This is as compatible as N64 emulation gets as of August 2017, use and the package can be played out-of-the-box without having to mess around with plugins. Mupen64Plus instead. Version 2.3 has various fixes over version 1been ported to a number of different platforms.6.1 [[BizHawk]] and is overall more accurate, even outclassing [[OpenEmu]] use shallow forks of Mupen64Plus in some instancesand its plugins for their N64 emulation.
* [[Mupen64PlusProject64]] is a crossan open-platform, open source emulator based on Hacktaruxfor Windows. Its official release builds are more up to date than Mupen64Plus's Mupen64. With GLideN64 plugin, it and the most recent one is more or less roughly as compatible accurate as Project64the development versions of Mupen64Plus when both are played with recommended plugins. It lacks has a native GUI, instead being run either from more user-friendly interface than the command lineMupen64Plus attempts, or by dragging and dropping ROMs onto the executable and editing the config with a text editor supports more features, such as Notepad++overclocking and transfer pak emulation. There are several third-party GUIs made for However, itdoesn't come with GlideN64 out of the box, of which M64Py appears to be and the default video and audio plugins aren't even the best in the most solidbox. [https://m64p.github.io/ m64p] It presently remains confined to Windows, though work is a new 2017 effort underway to port it to combine new versions of Mupen64Plus with GLideN64 Android and a new Qt5 GUILinux. It's arguably works well in WINE for the most accurate package using default pluginspart, and is complete out-of-the-box. Mupen64Plus has been ported to but if you're on a number of different platforms. [[BizHawk]] and [[OpenEmu]] platform, use shallow forks of Mupen64Plus and its plugins for their N64 emulationinstead.
* [[RetroArch]]'s N64 libretro core is based on Mupen64Plus and its plugins, but with heavy modifications. It introduces many features and optimizations not present in mainline alongside RetroArch's general features, including Project64-style overclocking for faster framerates, 3-point texture filtering, superior A/V sync and latency, and even an exclusive LLE Vulkan renderer based on Angrylion's pixel-perfect plugin, making it a better alternative to the standalone version in most cases. Its developers have expressed intentions to eventually rewrite the core and brand it as its own emulator called ParaLLEl.
