-I added that PJ64 1.7 should have a memory editor. Also, the second reference is dead, could someone find a live link for it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nairanvac ( talk • contribs) 18:17, 20 May 2007
The statement "Project 64 is charging for a new release" is completely wrong. Version 1.7 appears to be development software, and the creators do not seem to want to share it at all. It seems like they have just made it available to donators as an incentive to donate - not a "sell the product" scheme. -psych787 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.33.200.201 ( talk • contribs) 16:36, 19 February 2007
removed link to *****.com... reason should be obvious —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.102.196.3 ( talk • contribs) 07:03, 27 April 2006
Does anyone else think that the screenshot they have there is utterly unnecessary? If it isn't going to be removed entirely, wouldn't the space be better suited for a screen of a game, running on Project 64? I guess I'll do it myself - later though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.71.42.197 ( talk • contribs) 06:07, 15 June 2006
I added the section about video card compatibility and corrected some grammar stuff Julioenrekei ( talk) 05:44, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
I understand the tagging of the page with needing more sources, but there really aren't any real 3rd party sources. The only 3rd party sources come from emulation sites and forums, nothing notable really. Julioenrekei ( talk) 07:58, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
shouldn't we add a list of games avilable and do the same to the others —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.90.196.72 ( talk) 02:05, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
I've gone and slapped a WP:Notability tag on this here article. This has something to do with that fact that the only sources are from online emulating sites. Which doesn't cut it. Thanks, Aaron ► 08:42, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
The article saids:
Project64 is currently still under constant development. This upcoming version will possibly include net play, which includes LAN and internet play.
But given the fact that there hasn't been any new version in 4 years and the home page look mostly abandonned i don't think that's true anymore. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.153.118.241 ( talk) 22:16, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
I changed the website link because the other one was invalid. The source of the website is from the "Logo" link. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.197.211.243 ( talk) 22:14, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
It was proposed in the Project64k talk page that it be merged into this article, which seems completely reasonable and would protect both that content and Project64 from getting hastily deleted by some rogue mod. There are few differences, and I think that perhaps everything in the other article except for the: SysReqs, some stuff under Issues, and some of the other wordings.... can all be saved.
To keep it out of the way of the original version, I think perhaps this stuff could be placed under the Reception section. If possible, the infobox could be put there with any links, and then just dedicate one section to it all to keep it contained. - usucd ik 03:09, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
I think it's fair to say, after 5 years without a stable release and 4 without a preview release, that Project64 is no longer a "frequently updated" project which needs to use this template. If anyone knows how to remove the LSR template and go back to using the infobox alone, please do it. Avindra talk / contribs 21:23, 18 June 2010 (UTC)
Is an old piece of crap that fails to meet notability standards. I vote for removing this clutter. What say ye? Avindra talk / contribs 03:02, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
back when i downloaded all versions, i was having trouble getting to them because some spam was interupting. if this is the survey thats referenced, i used peerblock & blocked advertising, & downloading them became easy:) if this is the case, by all means add it!
The "merge" failed to maintain any content from this article, turning a 12,210 byte article into a single line in a table that already existed on the other page. It wasn't a merge, it was a deletion and redirect. 173.34.28.208 ( talk) 11:26, 21 April 2012 (UTC)
I beleive that the Project64 page be reverted to having its own page, as it is one of the best and most popular N64 emulators. If other people also feel this way I propose an undo for the merge with the list of emulators. If it was removed because of poor article writing, I would be willing to go and rewrite the page in a more wiki-style format. Mcdudeman ( talk) 13:58, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
I am currently attempting to revert the merge to list of the emulators. As of today this emulator remains most popular and only actively used emulator for the N64. This article requires more experts in the field and have found a few reliable sources. I have since address the issues of third party sources and found two sources including Take 2 and Digital Trends and was briefly mentioned in Castro, Radford (2004). Let Me Play: Stories of Gaming and Emulation. Hats Office Books. ISBN 1587363496.
Please advise.

I restored the article per discussion Valoem talk 17:38, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
I must protest this reversion of my more accurate opening line to this article, citing Project64 as both emulator and malware delivery mechanism. While this vital piece of information is included below, the aggressive manner in which this malicious software is thrust upon the user combined with the severity of the infection (known to reinstall itself and render machines unbootable) necessitates an equally aggressive approach in categorizing the emulator as a whole.
Project64 surrendered its right to be known as "just" an emulator when it sold out to become an emulator-plus-virus. New users MUST be informed of this hazard in the opening summary. KhazWolf ( talk) 00:10, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
Is it notable that the Project 64 website has been repeatedly accused of hosting malware? It's currently blocked by chrome, for example, and has been removed from some emulator websites. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.250.79.69 ( talk) 10:20, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
Most of the claims seem to be true. Some people have reported the same things. There's been discussions on Reddit and in several emulation websites. 201.69.195.49 ( talk) 22:43, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
