Project64 is a proprietary Nintendo 64 emulator for Windows. It employs a plug-in system that allows third-party software developers to create their own implementation of a specified component. 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

Solutions & Issues
The Jabo's Direct3D8 plugins from 1.6 and up supports Hor+ widescreen. Other plugins do not have this feature nor do other versions of this plugin.
- Run Project64.
- Go to Options, Settings, Plugins and ensure the video plugin is set to Jabo's Direct3D8 1.6. Click OK to apply your changes.
- Go to Options, Configure Graphics Plugin.
- Set your resolution and other video settings.
- Uncheck Hide Advanced Settings and click Apply.
- Go to the Advanced tab that appeared. If you're using Jabo's Direct3D8 1.7.0.57-ver5, Go to the Rom settings tab.
- If you're using 1.6, Check Adjust game aspect ratio to match yours. If you're using 1.7.0.57, Check Override aspect while the rom is running.
- Click OK to save your changes.
Widescreen behaviour depends on the game; see below for testing details.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tested on Public Release - Project64 1.6
Games played at 4080x768 unless otherwise stated.
*Please note this list is only to tell you how well widescreen works, not the emulation.*
*Many Games have issues with rending 3D objects on areas where that are no background. 3D elements will leave artifacts in these areas.
----Fix: Well if the whole scene isn't rendered you can simply dial-down the the aspect ratio, the wider the view, the more object that have to be rendered, lessen the viewport and it will be able to support a lower amount of objects on screen.
