Project64 Legacy

Project64 Legacy is a free and open-source emulator that's continuing the work of one of the most famous Nintendo 64 emulators in history: Project64. The aim of this Legacy version of the emulator, built from the 1.6 version, is to keep providing a simple and accessible emulation experience that will run smoothly on virtually any hardware.

Easy to install and set up

You don't need to configure anything at all to be able to start playing any Nintendo 64 game with Project64 Legacy. Just unzip the compressed file into a folder, double-click the .exe file and select any ROM downloaded on your PC. And that's it. You won't have to touch any settings, configure any plugins, or anything like that. Simply double click and get playing.

Several options for those looking for a little something extra

Although you don't have to, Project64 Legacy lets you customize and optimize your gaming experience from the settings options menu. Here, you can choose from over half a dozen different plugins for the graphics, the sound and the controls. It's highly recommended that if you notice a problem when playing a particular ROM, you should try the different available plugins until you find the one that works best on your PC.

Very low system requirements

The minimum requirements to be able to play Project64 Legacy are extremely low. The emulator only requires a CPU that supports SSE2, 512 MB RAM, and a graphics card compatible with DirectX 8 or OpenGL 3.3. It also only takes up a little under 5 MB. In short, the emulator could run correctly on virtually any PC from 2003 onwards.

Compatible with all games

The Project64 Legacy compatibility list includes virtually every video game from the catalog of this old Nintendo console. All the games work properly, with no visual problems. While more modern games may run into problems or might not be properly optimized, all games from the original catalog can be played from start to finish without any issues.
