==History==
In 2015, zilmar created a public Project64 repository on GitHub, at last opening the gates for public contributions. Development picked up at break-neck speed and has yet to cease. Many of the issues with earlier versions of Project64 have now been fixed. It has been mostly ported to 64-bit, and there is even an effort underway to make it more portable and eventually work on non-Windows platforms.
As of 2022, PJ64 has been getting ready for the 4.0.0 stable release, and thus the nightly builds are going through a major overhaul. Users should either be careful of potential regressions when installing a new nightly, or stick with 3.0.1 while waiting for the stable release.
==Problems==
===Malware and nagware===
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 You can be disabled type "'''thank you from project64'''" as the notification code, or disable it by modifying <code>project64.cfg</code> to appear as follows: <pre>[Support Project64]Run Count=-1</pre>
===Windows 10 BSOD===
==Plugins==
{{Main|Recommended N64 plugins}}
Project64 used to ship 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 new audio plugin loosely based on Azimer's and mupen64plus's code, 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.
