Mupen64Plus is a plugin-based N64 emulator for Linux which is capable of accurately playing many games. Included are four MIPS R4300 CPU emulators, with dynamic recompilers for 32-bit x86 and 64-bit amd64 systems, and necessary plugins for audio, graphical rendering (RDP), signal co-processor (RSP), and input. There are 3 OpenGL video plugins included: glN64, RiceVideoLinux, and Glide64.

Requirements: Look at the README page for a list of software requirements to run or build Mupen64Plus.

News

September 5th, 2008: There has been lots of activity on this project lately. The KDE4 gui was modified to be a Qt 4 GUI, so it will work under many non-cutting-edge systems. There have been many QT and GTK GUI improvements. There have also been many changes to make Mupen64Plus more platform-independent, and as a result it is now running (with a few problems) under Win32 and OSX.

June 27th, 2008: We have accumulated a number of small fixes since Mupen64Plus v1.4. I'll probably make a minor release in a couple of weeks with these little fixes included.

Features

• Dynamic recompilers for 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (amd64) machines
• 3 OpenGL video plugins: glN64, RiceVideoLinux, Glide64

Status

June 15th: The first new feature of the 1.5 release cycle will be Tillin9's Rom Cache System. This feature centralizes all the ROM-specific information used in different parts of the emulator into a database, to simplify and modularize the code. This will allow us to support MD5-based cheat codes in the future and also add information like a 5-star compatibility rating for each game.
