August 1, 2016, Project64 version 2.3 was released, eventually being updated to version 2.3.2 in January 2017. On May 27, 2021, Project64 version 3.0.0 was released to celebrate its 20th anniversary. Reception In 2014, PC World praised the emulator for offering more "advanced settings" than Nintendo's official Nintendo 64 emulation available through the Virtual Console, such as the ability to change the game's aspect ratio, but criticized the emulation for being imperfect, describing it as "rough around the edges". However, up to version 2.2, there were major safety concerns of installing Project64 through its official installer after numerous reports on social media websites of the installers containing malware. Fortunately, in July 2016, this malware code was removed from both the source code and its installers. When Project64 2.3 was released, a harmless yet irritating nagware screen began to occur after a number of uses of the software which grew more persistent with successive launches as a forced waiting period is installed. The emulation community, however, has managed to find a way around this issue.
