*Project64 is still a decent choice for emulating most of the popular games, though it has been supplanted by Mupen64+ in terms of general compatibility. It is capable of using a wide variety of plugins, and has a relatively user-friendly interface. However, it has not seen an update in some time, and remains confined to Windows. Version 2.1 fixed some games, but introduced some regressions as well, so it may be handy to keep version 1.6 alongside it.
*RetroArch has incorporated a heavily modified fork of Mupen64+ as its N64 core, but it is still a WIP and may have issues not present in standalone. As such, your mileage may vary, although it is quite usable in its current state with many but should be fine for most gamesnow. It is constantly being worked on, and has features not present in mainline, such as Project64-style overclocking for faster frameratesand 3-point texture filtering, as well as those features that RetroArch itself brings.
*Bizhawk has a port of M64+, which seems to work well enough. Bizhawk lacks portability however, and is only for Windows and OSX.
