'''Project64k''' is a modified version of the [[Nintendo 64]] emulator, {{s|wikipedia|Project64}} 1.4. It was originally created by Hotquik and is currently developed by {{Sm|Smasherx74}}. As a Nintendo 64 emulator, the program has the ability to run ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', as well as a majority of the Nintendo 64's library. Project64k's name is a pun on the term [[wikipedia:modem|56k]].

Compared to many other emulators of its type, including its base project of Project64, {{s|wikipedia|Mupen64Plus}}, [[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 [http://mupen64k.blogspot.com/ Mupen64k], 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.

Despite popular belief, Project64k software in isolation is not inherently illegal to own and operate. In the United States, several lawsuits have ruled in favor of emulators falling under fair use, such as {{iw|wikipedia|Sega v. Accolade}} in 1992 and Sony Computer Entertainment, Inc. v. Connectix Corporation and Sony Computer Entertainment America v. Bleem in 2000, as well as the {{iw|wikipedia|Digital Millennium Copyright Act}} declaring emulators as exempt from standard copyright protections. However, most methods to obtain games in a format that can actually be played on an emulator are considered piracy, which is illegal, so players are often warned to use emulation at their own discretion.
