Project64 allows the user to play Nintendo 64 games on a computer by reading ROM images, either dumped from the read-only memory of a Nintendo 64 cartridge or created directly on the computer as homebrew.
Project64 executes with a good speed on most Intel/AMD-based computers, especially through its just-in-time compiler that analyzes the loaded ROM and translates known instructions into those functionally similar in x86 immediately when the ROM is loaded. This contrasts with its interpreter, which interprets each instruction on the spot as it receives it.
Though fatal exceptions sometimes occur, Project64 can intercept most common plug-in errors without causing the emulation to freeze. Jabo's Direct3D video plug-ins utilize a just-in-time exception handler that attempts to rectify the problem...
