i noticed that re-volt slowed down in pj64 but its FPS display stayed at 60, there are other games that do this as well (extreme-g2 is the only other one i remember), i know this happens in SNES emulation but sometimes i know that it doesnt happen in the real N64. (i know revolt is a known issue but why does it stay at 60 hz?)
In-game slowdown that doesnt affect VI/s?

FPS != VI/s
You're comparing two unrelated numbers.

i, being a regular computer user was never told what the two really mean. i always thought VI/s were constant and FPS wasnt. games with 20 FPS (like zelda and such) in NTSC will have always 60 VI/s correct? and higher framerate games still have 60 VI/s right?
so when your FPS counter on Pj64 goes down what does that mean?
When FPS counter on any other video plugin (true FPS) goes down, what does that show?
If the VI/s drops, it's generally because your computer isn't fast enough to run the emulator.
If the FPS drops (as displayed by the plugin), it's either because of poor game code (the kind of slow-down you'd see on a real N64) or because the plugin can't render some complicated effects, like framebuffer, etc. It could also be a general incompatibility with certain games I suppose.

Having said all this, I'll admit that I may be talking out of my ass. This is just my general understanding of things.

The problem is that some of these games ran slow on the real N64. For example, XG2 will run at around 12-15Fps.
