Overview
--------
--------
Features
--------
Internally Project64 features two advanced recompilers, for the R4300i and the RSP
respectively, both based off of zilmar's original interpreters. Both the R4300i and
RSP interpreters are available as alternatives to the recompilers via settings.
- The RSP recompiler is written by jabo. This compiler creates dynamic blocks of
code, and optimizes the signal processor code through various code analysis
techniques. It makes use of MMX and SSE to provide real-time emulation of this
powerful co-processor.
Project64 uses high-level emulation for graphics, and low level emulation for
audio. Jabo wrote Direct3D and OpenGL plugins for graphics, they have high quality
blending and texturing, with several microcodes implemented from Mario64 to Zelda64
between the plugins. High level microcode emulation is optimized using SSE, and
3DNow!, and some parts of texturing have MMX optimizations.

Known Problems
--------------
Please do not expect games to be perfect, we put a lot of effort into this
emulator, but every detail may not meet the guidelines for perfect emulation. If
you want to experience games as they were meant to be played purchase a nintendo
64.
