Project 64k review

Project 64k is a version of project 64 with the ability to play multi-player between multiple computers with the same version of project 64; you can also use this feature play multiplayer over the internet with very few bugs and glitches; this is a handy feature when you and a friend are wanting to play any multiplayer game, but are too far away to visit each other, is called Kaillera. Only pj64k has this feature at the moment. There are also some more plugins than the original, the playability is better and the graphics, depending on your graphics card, are just like the original system, if not better. The audio is excellent and you can set the controls any way you want them, you can even use a joystick of controller (I use an Afterglow Xbox 360 controller). This is a must have for die hard Nintendo 64 fans that want to play their favorite games anywhere. You can find this emulator at pj64-emu.com and find the roms at coolrom.com. If you want more information about this emulator, go to pj64k.blogspot.com or do a wiki search for project 64k.

review on Project 64

One emulator that I tested was project 64 and project 64k, the only difference being one has networking multi player gaming (project 64k) and the other doesn't. This emulator is, in my opinion, the best to play Nintendo 64 games on Windows computers. The playability is excellent, and depending on your graphics card, the graphics can be one of the best; also it is not very hard to find ether one of the 2 versions, and the ROMs to go with it. Two of the games that I tested/played were: The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time, and Mario Kart 64. Both were emulated almost perfect with very few minor glitches. In Zelda, some places did not have the symbol or item on the ground showing, and in Mario kart, some of the sprites for the homing shells weren't complete( didn't show them spinning), but this could be from using the wrong graphics card. Over all, I would give this emulator the ten out of ten stars that it deserves. A good web site that you can go to find both the basic emulator and playable ROMs is www.coolrom.com
