Comparing Project64 with Angrylion RDP to Mupen64Plus-GUI with Parallel-RDP, we can see that the pixels look "off" in the latter when games aren't using the standard 320x240 internal resolution. In the following case, Goldeneye is using a strange resolution for menus, and it leads to lots of clipped pixels.
In both tests, nearest neighbor scaling is used with the N64 filtering disabled so we can see the raw pixels as they really are before filtering/scaling. Text becomes horribly low resolution and broken in the latter setup, lots of missing and misaligned pixels.
If I set Parallel-RDP to 2x render scaling, it helps a lot with cleaning up the broken text, but you can definitely tell it's still misaligned and pixels don't look like they're correct size/scale: https://i.imgur.com/8YOZg6c.png
Comparing all the above to my real Nintendo 64 with Goldeneye on a 480i NTSC TV using composite cables, the Project64 + Angrylion RDP output is an exact match for the real hardware.
