Updated Project64 plugin setup recommendations
===Project64 and Others===
Project64 comes bundled with the following plugins:
*Video: Jabo's Direct3D8, Project64 Video (Glide64 under another name), GLideN64
*Audio: Jabo's DirectSound, Project64 Audio
*Input: NRage for Project64, Project64 Input
*RSP: zilmar's RSP
Should you wish to use other plugins, they must be downloaded from a third party source and dropped into their respective plugin folder categories in the Project64 directory. Video plugins go under Plugin/GFX, audio plugins under Plugin/Audio, etc.
*'''General Use'''
**Glide64 2.0.0.1GLideN64
**Shunyuan's HLE Audio (set to LLE)
**"Static" Interpreter RSP Interpreter or Zilmar's RSP**Either of the RSP plugins should be fine for most games. HatCat's The Static Interpreter RSP is slightly more accurate. However, whereas zilmar's is much faster. Keep Should you wish to use GLideN64 in mind LLE mode (or any LLE video plugin for that Glide64 2matter), if using zilmar's RSP, simply uncheck "Graphics HLE" in the Plugin configuration screen.0.0.1 is If using the Static Interpreter RSP, you'll have to run the same as Glide64 Finalspconfig. Glide64 2.0.0.1 is just a merge of Glide64, GlideHQexe that comes with that plugin, and Glitch64 (which of course the final version has) tell it to be one file"simulate RSP graphics from external plugin." ParaLLEl-RSP only works in LLE, but limits you to certain settings that cannot so GLideN64's HLE mode will be changed unavailable with the emulatorthat plugin.
*'''Best Performance'''
**Glide64 FinalProject64 Video
**Azimer's HLE Audio
**Zilmar's RSP
**Make sure you configure the graphics plugin to show texture enhancement options. Then you'll have an extra tab to change more options. Goto Go to the texture enhancement tab and click on the button that gives the best performance and it should improve framerate once you saved the settings. There's also another button for best texture quality. There's no little need to touch the other plugins. Recommended for most the older zilmar-spec emulatorsas well (replace Project64 Video with Glide64 Final for those). If you absolutely need more performance, you can try Jabo's plugin (specifically version 1.6.1, NOT the buggy version bundled with Project64), though it comes at a cost to compatibility.
*'''Accuracy'''
**angrylion's Pixel-Accurate N64 Plugin (RDP Plus)
**Azimer's Audio NEW
**"Static" RSP Interpreter**If you have a decent quad-core CPU, you can run many N64 games with pixel-perfect graphics at full speed, thanks to the new multithreaded version of angrylion's software plugin. The new Azimer's plugin (still WIP) works good in LLE. Since there's almost no visual difference, you may as well use PJ64's RSP or ParaLLEl-RSP to get better performance, and/or move to ParaLLEl-RDP outright for even greater speed and upscaling options to boot (though it goes without saying doing so is no longer accurate). Conversely, if you want even greater accuracy, disable "Hide advanced settings" under Configuration, then enable "Always use interpreter core" under Advanced, and under Angrylion's options, disable multi-threading and set compatibility to "Slow".Performance WILL crash, but hey, it'll be accurate!
