i'm looking to download my first n64 emulator on my pc. i've heard project 64 has malware and shit but there are ways to get around it. There are also others ive heard good things about. what do you recommend /v/?

Project 1.7 (the older version) is perfectly fine, and not bundled with anything. I believe the claims about malware are related to the stuff included in the installer of 2.x variants.
I've used 1.6 and later 1.7 versions for something like a decade now. The most popular games work perfectly fine, and you got several plugins to choose from for graphics, audio and controls.
I'd recommend grabbing at least the N-Rage's Direct Input plugin; allows you to bind anything to any controller action, such as Mouse's X / Y movements, and adjust what devices are set to the virtual gamepad (Rumble or Memory pak, etc). I played DN:Zero Hour with WASD+M controls like this couple years ago!
Basic graphics plugin works OK for most titles.
Keep the original 640x480 aspect ratio (ie. 1280x960) to eliminate some visual glitches. Tick "Always use texture filter". Enable "Use Legacy Pixel Pipeline" from Advanced Options tab too.
When the game starts, go to Audio settings, and tick "Sync game to audio". This fixes out-of-sync and clicking noises problems.

i recommend that you stop being a poorfag and buy a n64 plus an everdrive. all n64 emulators are fucking terrible

Nope.

Wasn't there supposedly an emulator a guy made for himself that was 100% accurate? Wing something

kill yourself

Don't listen to this faggot, graphics plug-in will often depend on what game you're trying to play. Glide seems most compatible in my experience

Yeah because N64 emulation went places these last 5 years

Or not. You just need to adjust settings more or less depending on the game. The ones I listed have worked near perfect for all the big titles I've played (Marios, Zeldas, Banjos, Douks...)

If you do want to have that authentic 240p + 20fps experience, be my guest. It's not everyone's thing.
