Project64

Project64 is an emulator designed for Windows with the purpose of letting its users play the games created for Nintendo 64. It was initially released on May 26, 2001, and works by reading ROM images (either created on the computer as homebrew or dumped from the memory of a Nintendo 64 ROM cartridge). It is a useful emulator in that it is highly compatible and supports multiplayer and full screen gameplay.

An open source project

The software was written in the C and C++ programming languages, and allows non-developer groups to input their own plug-ins and editions to the software. This being said, the software is completely free and open-source, which allows this to happen. The software is developed by “Project64 Team” and is only available in English at the moment.

Highly compatible

Project64 does not require the use of BIOS and is highly compatible with many platforms.
