− | + | [[Mupen64Plus]] is an open-source, cross-platform, plugin-based [[Nintendo 64 emulators|Nintendo 64]] emulator capable of playing many games. It is an update to Mupen64. Its developers elected to move away from Zilmar's plugin spec and developed their own set of plugins, so plugins from other N64 emulators will not work in it. It also has a [https://github.com/libretro/mupen64plus-libretro RetroArch/libretro port] under active development. | |

This can be mitigated by lowering the buffer settings in the mupen64plus.cfg file, though putting it too low will cause audio crackling. For improved audio latency and sync, consider using mupen64plus-libretro through RetroArch. |

Not only does it come with everything set up, but it also comes with every plugin developed for the emulator. This is great, since it's very hard to find some of the plugins without compiling them from the source code. Sadly it's not perfect, since the input config utility doesn't work with some gamepads. |
