Since its initial release, Project64 has undergone continuous development by a community of contributors, leading to improvements in compatibility, performance, and feature set.

The emulator aims to accurately replicate the hardware of the Nintendo 64, enabling a wide range of games to be played with varying degrees of fidelity. Project64 supports various input devices, including keyboards, mice, and gamepads, and offers extensive configuration options for graphics, audio, and controller settings.
