Like the Mario 64 recompilation, this isn’t running on an emulator, but is totally native. That means it runs smoother, has zero issues that you might get from emulation (like inaccuracies), and makes it so much easier to mod and extend it. You can see some of the features on the page like autosaving and playing on high framerates.
That doesn’t make sense to me. Emulation should be 100% accurate software-wise, at the expense of performance. Can you elaborate?
100% accurate emulation is basically impossible for every single console. You can get extremeley close via cycle accuracy, emulating the CPU’s instruction set but even that isn’t perfect.

Emulation is almost never 100% accurate, that’s why seemingly perfect emulators like Dolphin still get updates. They mimic the original hardware as closely as possible but there are still bound to be some bugs and games that don’t work perfectly. The best emulators are more like 99.9% accurate.
N64 emulators aren’t that good, so you’ll get occasional graphics errors and crashes.
Also much more possibilities in terms of controls, ie no more janky remapping buttons and mouse axis into pretending to be controller inputs or messing with mouse injectors, instead you can get native KB+M support, dual analog, etc.
