It also offers native high-resolution rendering, only available in integer scales of the original N64 resolution. ParaLLEl-RDP has a special ' Super VI Mode' option which, if used, can make the visuals of N64 games look less blurry with fairly mitigated jaggies even at their native resolutions. They introduce many features and optimizations not present in mainline alongside RetroArch's general features, including 3-point texture filtering for Glide64, superior A/V sync and latency, and even an initially exclusive LLE Vulkan renderer based on Angrylion's pixel-perfect RDP plugin now known as ParaLLEl-RDP, making it a better alternative to the standalone version in some cases. Mupen64Plus-Next and ParaLLEl-N64 Both are heavily-modified forks developed as libretro cores. As of 2022 Project64-style overclocking for faster frame rates has been added under the option 'CountPerOpDenomPot'. BizHawk and OpenEmu use forks of Mupen64Plus and its plugins for their N64 emulation, but they seem to be shallow. It also only comes bundled with outdated video plugins, so to ensure the best possible compatibility, sourcing better third-party plugins such as GLideN64 is a must. However, Mupen64Plus lacks a native GUI, instead being launched either from the command line or by dragging and dropping ROMs onto the executable and editing the config with a text editor. It's about as accurate as Project64, when both emulators are run with GLideN64. Mupen64Plus A multi-platform emulator based on Hacktarux's Mupen64. As of August 2017, both emulators have roughly equal compatibility and accuracy when running with the same recommended N64 plugins setup, though both default to Glide64, a now relatively lackluster plugin. For half a decade, Mupen64Plus and Project64 have vied for the most playable emulator, and which was more compatible often depended on when and in what configuration each emulator has been tested.

⁵ Obsolete and replaced by Mupen64Plus-NextĪlthough many Nintendo 64 emulators have been made and many games can be run between them, until recently complete compatibility and/or accuracy left a bit to be desired.³ Highly recommended to use 1964 GEPD for Goldeneye 007 or Perfect Dark.² Requires replacing the input plugin to one with netplay support.¹ Only supports texture packs, and not filtering or upscaling.* Available exclusively as a libretro core.Mupen64Plus-Next (mupen64plus_next_libretro)
