Continue this thread level 1 GBE Dev 11 points 5 years ago TL;DR - Go with Mupen64Plus, but do note that it needs a separate front-end GUI.

Long answer: does safe imply wont destroy my computer Or does it imply has no third-party software in the installer Ive honestly seen people worry that using emulators will somehow destroy their computer hardware.

Nothing like that will happen unless youre doing something horribly wrong;) There was a big affair about PJ64 recently.

Users that did not read and look carefully at the checkboxes in the installer had a nasty surprise to say the least.

You can safely install PJ64 without any additional programs; it just takes a bit of attention to detail.

I have been using it for a long time; as a Linux user, its basically the only viable N64 emulator out there (until CEN64.

Its a command-line program, but people have made several front-ends for it.

Its not exactly the height of ease and user-friendliness, but its very reliable, and with the right settings, I found its compatibility quite high with my game library.

You can give both emulators a shot and see which you prefer, but my votes on Mupen64Plus.

Im perfectly aware it runs without a GUI, but it needs a separate one because it doesnt include one.

I only ever use M64P (Even on Windows) but it is very far from being user friendly.

1964 Emulator On Portable PJ64 So

Direct them to the portable PJ64 so theres no adware and life should be good for them.

People complain about the optional adware with the installer.

But If youre emulating games or have ever used torrenting software, hell.updated Java before, you know to look over what is checked for installation.

One small snag, that isnt even reflective of the program itself.

Theres plenty of other emulators out there, but this is the only one Ive needed.

I was never really a fan of PJ64, mainly due to the issues I had with 1.6 and the whole scandal with 1.7.

1964 Emulator On Mod For Playing

I cant remember) was OK, but I kept using 1964 with the Mouse Injector mod for playing Perfect Dark.

If it were emulating a simpler system, like the NES, I wouldnt mind using the commandline, but N64 emulators require so much configuration, you really do need to have a decent UI.
