Install 1.6 in your 1.6 folder.ДЇor the other versions, these tend to be binaries and donвЂ™t require installing. When you are done with that, create a folder for your ROMs.

Then, create a directory for the three different versions of the emulator (i.e.

Version 1.6 has to be installed, so pick a convenient place on your hard drive for your N64 needs. While this is the version currently being developed, for those three reasons, I wouldnвЂ™t recommend playing around with it (recommendation made weeks after itвЂ™s released). On top of that, settings have not been optimized as the community has been forced to re-configure each individual game from scratch again to get games to work optimally. Not only that, there has been known cases where save files and save states have randomly become corrupted on users. Shortly after the release of version 2.0, a version 2.1 was released. This version, I found, broke more games than it fixed, but for games that ran slow, itвЂ™s possible that this version fixed those speed issues. When 1.7.x and 1.6 doesnвЂ™t work, the third optimal version is version 2.0 which can also be found on the Project64 downloads page. This emulator is great for emulating a few of those games that seem to play better on this version (there arenвЂ™t that many, but they can be found). Luckily, this can be found on the Project 64 downloads page. Clean copies donвЂ™t set off virus scanners to my knowledge. Still, copies can be found floating around the web if you look. We cannot point you into the direction of where to get this version as this is a closed development version. I recommend this version because, as a general rule, this seems to play the most ROMs accurately. The main version youвЂ™ll probably want is the most up to date 1.7.x version you can find. What you need are the most useful versions of Project 64. N64 emulation, to this day, has never been perfected, but a vast majority of the games that have been released are playable. The unfortunate part about using this emulator is that some versions play some games well while other versions play different games accurately and different versions break the performance of different games. The Project 64 emulator seems to be one of the only remaining emulators that is actually still in (slow) development to this day.
