That said*Mupen64+ is the best overall N64 emulator, as things standbut you still need PJ64 for certain games. It lacks a native GUI, N64 emulation and instead is a complete messran by dragging and dropping roms and editing the config with notepad++. There are GUIs made for it, but many are problematic and glitchy. Every emulator * RetroArch has its own unique compatibility issuesa port of M64+, but it is very new and filled with bugs and it varies significantly even within one emulator if using different pluginsproblems.

For *Daedalus, results are even more hit-and-miss than on other emulators due to being made for PSP first and foremost. On PSP, most games are unplayable, but there's a [http://forums.daedalusx64.com/compat.php small amount of them that work really well] with the right settings (Quest 64, for example). It's the only option for N64 emulation on PSP.

Compatibility:
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.
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 go-to emulator for general use in the future.
*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. N64 emulation on Wii is not very good, and it is recommended to stick with the Virtual Console N64 relsesases.
*MESS uses a very [[Accuracy|accurate]] method of emulation, but as a result is very, very slow, 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.
