Project 64 started close to 3 decades ago and has seen many changes and revisions over the years, friends have come and gone but we have all grown up together.
Of those revisions, it was decided to continue programming using the original 1.6 source, leading to Project64_Legacy.
Legacy means to not only allow games to run smoothly as we have seen in Project64 1.6.1 but to do so without hacks and various tricks that compromise stability.
Achievements include:
*Vulnerability found within Project64 1.6 through 1.7.2 is patched.
*Jabo Texture loading/creation corrected with exclusive Jabo Direct3D8_1.7.0.47a
*Dialogs in full-screen.
*Default Plugins with per-game settings (Video, Audio, RSP).
*Ique with full cheat support for known games.
*Online RDX support is accessed through rom browser...

This is an easy to use utility for performing some tasks on SNES / SFC ROMs!

Following functions are included:

Add header: adds an empty header
Remove header: removes an existing header
Edit ROM information like title, country/region and version
Fix checksum: fixes a broken checksum. You always should do this before saving, if possible. Please note that some beta or demo ROMs have an odd checksum anyway …
Fix ROM size: fixes wrong internal ROM size information (useful for some ROM hacks)
Expand ROM: expands ROM to a specific size up to 64 Mbit (BS-X up to 32 Mbit). Mirror option should only be used, when there are problems with standard expanding. Always check if your ROM still works after doing this!
Split ROM: splits ROM into multiple parts
SwapBin: swaps binaries to get a “Close-to-SNES-Mask-ROM”-layout (27C801)
Deinterleave: some copy stations like “Game Doctor SF” or “Super UFO” use interleaving when dumping HiROM games. This will reverse...

We are also proud to host the Unofficial Release version of Jabo_Direct3D8_1.7.0.57 ver 6 to be compliant without issue
for continued use on Project64 3.x and up.

Changelog:

Jabo's Direct3D8 1.7.0.57-ver6, to be used with PJ64 2.x-4.x

Released by PJ64LegacyTeam By kind permission of Jabo

Changes:

• Improved compatibility with PJ64 2.x-4.x
• Changed the section name the plugin is looking for "Basic Mode=0" from [default] to [Settings]. Fixes displaying the Advanced settings tab.
• The ROM settings "Resolution Width", "Resolution Height", "ClearvFrame", "Aspect Correction" were requesting the emulator to save to Project64.rdb before. Redirected them to save to Project64.cfg like all the rest.
• Disabled "d3d syslog.txt" which affected gameplay performance and could...

Hey everyone,
I just published an article on ROM hacks and emulation—how they’ve gone from being underground tools to something way bigger: preservation, creative experimentation, and fan-driven storytelling.

It covers everything from fan translations and “What If” hacks to how these tools are now part of the broader gaming ecosystem, especially with streamers and content creators pushing them into the spotlight. I also dig into why these projects matter emotionally—how they let us revisit old favorites not just as they were, but as we remember or wish they had been.

If that sounds like your kind of thing, I’d love for you to check it out: https://bbox.ing/Meh5
Let me know what you think—or share your favorite hacks if you’ve got any!

Remember that game you couldn’t finish as a kid? Or the one your neighbor wouldn’t let you borrow? Emulation brings those moments back—not polished, not reimagined, just as they were, weird translations and all.

I just finished writing a deep-dive on the emotional, cultural, and technical side of emulation. It’s not just nostalgia—it’s digital preservation, curiosity, and sometimes, rebellion. From save states to accessibility to the weird joy of booting up a forgotten Japanese rhythm game, this piece explores why emulation still matters more than most people realize.

If you’ve ever loaded up a ROM just to feel something, I think this’ll resonate with you.

Read the full piece here: https://bbox.ing/QDJd

Would love to hear how others got into emulation, what you're playing, and what it means to you now.
