Project 64 is pretty dated, though. Surprisingly, it looks like it's now open source, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't always the case, and it sat unimproved for several years. Someone can correct me on this, but that's my understanding. (that isn't to say there wasn't a time where PJ64 was hands down the best N64 emulator)

Mupen64plus, in my experience, has been far superior to PJ64 for a long time. These days the emulators have come along enough that the differences can be somewhat trivial, but a decade ago Mupen64plus ran better for me on lower-end hardware and had way fewer idiosyncrasies than PJ64.

Nevertheless, it wouldn't surprise me if Paper Mario ran better through Wii U Virtual Console on Dolphin than through Mupen64plus! ;)
