Mupen64++ now supports netplay, though the guide on Anther's Ladder seems to suggest that P64k is still the most commonly used emulator, presumably due to being the most well-understood.

Compared to other emulators of its type, including Project64 | Compared to many other emulators of its type, including its base project of Project64, [[wikipedia:1964 (emulator)|1964]], and other projects, Project64k remains one of the most commonly used emulators in the ''Smash'' community due to its built-in ability to [[netplay|play games with others via the Internet]] with {{s|wikipedia|Kaillera}}. As a result of this, a majority of online tournaments for ''Super Smash Bros.'' are held with the emulator, often either via servers such as Atlantis Smash, or, more frequently, via peer-to-peer connections. Although a number of Nintendo 64 emulators have started to support online play, such as {{s|wikipedia|Mupen64Plus}}, Project64k is still the most widely used emulator for ''Smash 64'' netplay, owing to the greater familiarity of the emulator; that said, a number of hacks for emulators can allow for crossplay between Project64k and Mupen64Plus. | ||
Project64k has notably seen use at [[tournament]]s for ''Smash 64'', and the use of the emulator is actually preferred by some players, who may use unusual [[controller]]s for the game outside of the standard [[Nintendo 64 controller]], such as [[keyboard]]s. | |||
Outside of these facilities for netplay, the emulator has also been popular for its use in [[tool-assisted superplay]]s, due to its extensive hacking capabilities that feature compatibility with [[GameShark]] and [[Action Replay]], and other features, such as frame-by-frame play. | Outside of these facilities for netplay, the emulator has also been popular for its use in [[tool-assisted superplay]]s, due to its extensive hacking capabilities that feature compatibility with [[GameShark]] and [[Action Replay]], and other features, such as frame-by-frame play. | ||
