Added note on Glide64's availability on the major emulators, as well as a download link to the old Glide64 Final
This is a fork of Angrylion's RDP that supports multithreading. It now uses OpenGL 3.3 and also supports Linux. The multi-threading helps boost performance significantly, but some games are still not full speed even on a Core i7-8700K. This fork has at least one accuracy regression, compared to the official version of Angrylion. It also allows you to disable VI filters. Since it is a CPU-bound, software-rendered plugin, it has no enhancement options of any kind - what you see is what you get, exactly like on a real N64. Use this only if running a relatively fast CPU and ParaLLEl-RDP does not work with your GPU for whatever reason.
====Glide64====
The former best general-use plugin. Versions of this are included in Project64, mainline Mupen64Plus, and the ParaLLEl-N64 libretro core. While it is no longer updated and is far less accurate and compatible than the newer offerings, it still has a few use cases, such as better support for older ROM hacks. It works relatively well for many (most?) games, has support for hi-res textures, and it is also faster than the newer plugins, which makes it suitable for slower devices such as the older Raspberry Pis. Otherwise, to ensure the highest possible compatibility, stick to either ParaLLEl-RDP or GLideN64. Note that the version included with Project64 has been renamed to Project64 Video. Should you wish to use this on an older zilmar-spec emulator like 1964 or the original Mupen64, use [https://storage.googleapis.com/google-code-archive-downloads/v2/code.google.com/glidehqplusglitch64/Glide64_Final.zip Glide64 Final] instead.
