Review
Muplen64Plus lacks a prop working GUI, so it may be difficult to set up. The N64 emulation scene is a mess. Checking this site and using the appropriate emulator/plugin per game is recommended.
Using Mupen64Plus
Windows:
- First create this directory: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mupen64Plus (<username> is whatever your PC name is). Copy all the .ini and .cfg files into this folder and create a folder in there called "save". Open up the command prompt (Windows Key + R, type "cmd" and hit enter). Drag/drop mupen64plus-ui-console.exe into cmd, hit Space, and drag/drop the ROM you want to play then hit Enter. It should look similar to:
C:\Users\PC>"F:\Emulators\Mupen64Plus\mupen64plus-ui-console.exe" "F:\Games\Super Mario 64.n64
- To change plugins after you've dragged/dropped mupen's exe into cmd, hit Space, type "--gfx", hit Space, drag/drop the plugin you want to use, hit Space again, drag/drop the game you want to run and hit Enter. It should look similar to:
C:\Users\PC>"F:\Emulators\Mupen64Plus\mupen64plus-ui-console.exe" --gfx "F:\Emulators\Mupen64Plus\mupen64plus-video-glide64mk2.dll" "F:\Games\Super Mario 64.n64
- To change settings open mupen64plus.cfg, or the plugin's .cfg/.ini file in notepad++.
Note: For the absolute fastest way to setup and use M64P: unzip ALL files into 'C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mupen64Plus', create a save folder and then make .n64/.z64/.v64 file extensions to open with mupen64plus-ui-console.exe by default. Then just click on your N64 ROMs to play.
