Overview[edit]
In the project's own words:
"This is likely the most compatible N64 emulator you’re going to come across. It can play games like Resident Evil 2, Rogue Squadron, Pokemon Snap, and World Driver Championship “out-of-the-box” (without the need to fiddle with settings, plugins, or anything of the sort)."
The user interface, mupen64plus-gui, was written specifically for m64p using Qt5. The supported features:
- Netplay using a central server hosted in the cloud for players to find sessions
- Discord Rich Presence and automatic voice channel connectivity
- Standard frontend features like pausing, screenshots, save states etc.
- An auto-updater
Parallel RDP and RSP are based on the work of Themaister and are used in the Parallel N64 Libretro core. This makes fast and accurate N64 emulation possible in m64p.
As of April 12, 2021, m64p no longer runs properly on macOS systems. The application produces an "unable to load video plugin" error and random application crash at startup. As of June 6th, 2021 it appears that support for macOS is being completely dropped by loganmc10 with the replacement of both the GlideN64 and Angrylion Plus RDPs with ParaLLEI-RDP and the release of Windows and Linux builds only.
Netplay[edit]
