In terms of compatibility with the N64's game library, vanilla Mupen64 was basically on par with if not superior to Project64 1.6, with 1964 lagging quite a bit behind the two. Mupen64Plus improves upon Mupen64 even further, while Project64 2.1 [http://forum.pj64-emu.com/showthread.php?t=3601 only fixed a few things and broke others]. Mupen64Plus is receiving far more updates, and will likely be the N64 go-to emulator of for general use in the future.
That said, as things stand, N64 emulation is a complete mess. Every emulator has its own unique compatibility issues, and it varies significantly even within one emulator if using different plugins. Refer to [http://bmgcl.atspace.cc/n64mgcl/N64ConfigList.htm this link] for optimal emulator settings based on the game you want to play.
Wii64 and Not64 are both based on Mupen64, with Not64 being a fork of Wii64. Not64 claims to be better optimised, as well as having higher compatibility and more frequent updates.
MESS uses a very [[Accuracy|accurate]] method of emulation, but as a result is very, very slow. Not , so it's hardly usable on most current hardware. Its core is also very unstable and prone to crashing.
Sixtyforce is Mac-only, closed-source, which asks you to pay for it to use all its features. It's utterly irrelevant now.
