==Problems==
===Malware and nagware===
[[File:PJ64 fan .jpg|350px310px|thumb|right|A user complaining on the PJ64 forums after installing bundled malware]]
Up to version 2.2, the official installer for PJ64 included opt-out malware in the installer. In July of 2016, the malware was removed from both the source code and installers.<ref>https://github.com/project64/project64/issues/468</ref> However, version 2.3 introduced a benign but irritating nagware screen that pops up when launching PJ64 after starting it multiple times, which grows more persistent with successive launches as a forced waiting period is installed. This can be disabled by modifying <code>project64.cfg</code> to appear as follows: <pre>[Support Project64]Run Count=-1</pre> Alternatively, you can type "'''thank you from project64'''" as the notification code.
==Plugins==
{{Main|Recommended N64 plugins}}
Project64 still ships with Jabo's video and audio plugins and for many years used them as defaults (along with his input plugin). These plugins are closed-source, haven't been updated since the 1.7 days, and even have regressions compared to Jabo's 1.6.1 versions. However, Project64 now defaults to its own branded video, audio, and input plugins that are a fork of Glide64, a fork of Mupen64Plusnew audio plugin loosely based on Azimer's and mupen64plus's audiocode, and original respectively. It additionally ships with GLideN64 and N-Rage's input plugin, both of which are recommended over the defaults. Users may still prefer additional plugins for accuracy or feature set, such as Angrylion video, Azimer's audio, and HatCat's RSP interpreter.
