*Jabo's Direct3D - Comes with Project 64. Very speedy, can potentially look the prettiest due to built-in AA and AF options, and is the only plugin with a widescreen hack. The most recent version (1.7.0.57-ver5) is somewhat buggy and has regressions, however, so [http://www.mediafire.com/download/vhcrhfx81f5a89s/Jabo_Direct3D8B.dll.rar version 1.6.1] is recommended instead. Sadly, it will likely never see another update again.
*Glide64 - Also comes with Project 64 as of version 2.1. Often much more accurate and compatible than Jabo's plugin, and has a wealth of options, while still being quite fastthough it can be slower on lower end machines, and may not work on integrated graphics. Still, it is overall the best plugin for general use. The bundled version may have some regressions, however, so [http://glidehqplusglitch64.googlecode.com/files/Glide64_Final.zip Glide64 Final] may be worth keeping around just in case. Is likely to see some updates in the future as Project 64 develops.
*[http://www.emutalk.net/threads/40640-Z64-a-LLE-graphics-plugin z64gl] - A very accurate low-level plugin developed by ziggy. It has the capability to render at the N64's native resolution in case you don't like super sharp polygons with low-res textures. Requirements may be a bit heavier than Jabo's and Glide64, and configuration requires editing the config file directly. Needs an accompanying RSP plugin. May see some updates or future plugins based on its code.
*[http://www.emucr.com/2013/06/softgraphic-hle-plugin-v12-for-project64.html Shunyuan's SoftGraphic] - Based on angrylion's RDP code and the MAME/MESS RDP, it is hands down the most accurate video plugin of all. Renders pixel-perfect native resolution N64 graphics. However, as it is a pure software renderer, it requires a very powerful CPU to run at an acceptable speed. Has nothing in the way of options other than turning off the N64's internal filtering and anti-aliasing, which gives a good performance boost. Still under active development, so expect future performance optimizations and options.

*Jabo's DirectSound - Comes with Project 64. It works fine for the most part, but some games may not play nice with it. It is a low-level plugin, so it needs an accompanying RSP plugin. Will probably never be updated again.
