Project64 2.1 .rar

When attempting to launch N64 games from GB3, Project64 launches, but I receive an error message saying "Unable to open file." However, I can click File, Open Rom, and find the ROM and then it works fine. Can anyone shed some light on this issue for me?
Sorry guys, I'm very low level on the knowledge base, I don't even know what UNC pathing is I havent used emulators since using zsnes 12 years ago in high school computer class. I only just discovered emulators for newer systems, and just installed dolphin today(but I seem to have the same problem as with project64, but with a longer error message) As with project 64, I can open the game once in the emulator, but the direct launch doesnt work.
AWESOME!, Dolphin games are fixed, I had the switch wrong. Well the Wii games are right, I can't try the gamecube games yet due to the metada not populating, and so the games don't show up in MBC. However still having issues with the N64 emulator. I tried changing to the network path, but now games shows up in MBC, so i changed the path back the regular K drive.
I have the default rom set, but it doesn't work for project64. Also, do you happen to know why my Gamecube games metadata aren't populating? I verified the folder titles with those on thegamesdb.net
It first came out as a purely experimental emulator by developers zilmar and Jabo. It quickly revolutionized the N64 emulation landscape. For many years afterward, it was considered to be the best N64 emulator, with only Mupen64 and 1964 posing any real competition. By version 1.6, it was touted as being not only highly compatible but also the most stable of the lot.
However, upon announcing the development of version 1.7, the project became closed off to most of the public. The only way to keep up with the latest developments was to donate $20 to obtain beta testing privileges. However, there were several development version leaks, most of which turned out to be unstable, prone to crashes, and full of performance and compatibility regressions, which cast doubt upon the competency of the developers. Upon Jabo's departure from the project in 2011, most people came to regard Projec64 as being stuck in development limbo, if not completely dead.
In 2013, however, zilmar, now the lone developer of Project64, released version 2.0, including its complete source code. Quickly afterward, version 2.1 was released. However, these versions proved to be a mixed bag in comparison to the older, long-standing 1.6 release, and even the leaked 1.7 betas in some respects. Several compatibility issues were fixed, and the interface was cleaned up, but the default plugins were largely inferior to earlier iterations, and even the core itself saw compatibility regressions in some games. And though the source had been made public, there was no public repository for developers to contribute fixes or pull requests, resulting in the project to becoming dormant again.
In 2015, zilmar created a public Project64 repository on GitHub, at last opening the gates for public contributions. Development picked up at break-neck speed and has yet to cease. Many of the issues with earlier versions of Project64 have now been fixed. It has been mostly ported to 64-bit, and there is even an effort underway to make it more portable and eventually work on non-Windows platforms.
As of 2022, PJ64 has been getting ready for the 4.0.0 stable release, and thus the nightly builds are going through a major overhaul. Users should either be careful of potential regressions when installing a new nightly, or stick with 3.0.1 while waiting for the stable release.
Up to version 2.2, the official installer for PJ64 included opt-out malware in the installer. In July of 2016, the malware was removed from both the source code and installers.[1] However, version 2.3 introduced a benign but irritating nagware screen that pops up when launching PJ64 after starting it multiple times, which grows more persistent with successive launches as a forced waiting period is installed. You can type "thank you from project64" as the notification code, or disable it by modifying project64.cfg to appear as follows:
Version 2.4.0.1555 introduced a new method, with a per-machine ID that gets generated on the user side and requests a confirmation code associated with it. You can avoid it thanks to this script by Rosalie241.
Project64 used to ship with Jabo's video and audio plugins, and for many years, used them as defaults (along with his input plugin). These plugins are closed-source, haven't been updated since the 1.7 days, and even have regressions compared to Jabo's 1.6.1 versions. However, Project64 now defaults to its own branded video, audio, and input plugins that are a fork of Glide64, a new audio plugin loosely based on Azimer's and mupen64plus's code, and original respectively. It additionally ships with GLideN64 and N-Rage's input plugin, both of which are recommended over the defaults. Users may still prefer additional plugins for accuracy or feature set, such as Angrylion video, Azimer's audio, and HatCat's RSP interpreter.
The project64 shader module is an extension of the project shader module that does projection using 64 bit floating point. It provides an increase in precision, at the cost of performance. Note that starting with deck.gl v6.1, the improved default 32 bit projection mode provides sufficient precision for most use cases.
