pj 1.6 and below allow code execution exploits by crafting roms that stuff crap in memory regions outside of what a real N64 would use.
Thank you!
I guess one would generally be safe with a known hash, but ROM hacks would be dangerous territory.
Isn't Project64 on version 3.X now, though? A quick glance at their webpage suggests that they are, and I only noticed download links as far back as 2.X.
Yes but a lot of people use and circulate 1.6 as the "last good release" before the nagscreen, at some point between current release and 1.6 they also bundled adware in with the installer
What is TL;DW in the first place?
Too long; didn’t watch
Project 64 was always shady in it's practices
