It is run either directly from the command line with arguments or by dragging and dropping ROM files onto the executable. Emulator and plugin settings are changed by editing the included mupen64plus.cfg file. If a GUI is desired and/or you don't want to bother with command lines or config files, there are several third party frontends and forks available that provide a more streamlined experience. See the Frontends section below for more. Mupen64Plus uses its own plugin spec, so it is not compatible with plugins targeting the older zilmar plugin spec used by emulators such as Project64 unless they have been specifically ported to the new spec. However, just about every plugin worth using has now been ported or simultaneously targets both. By default, Mupen64Plus applies a ton of audio buffering, causing extremely delayed audio, more so than most other emulators. This can be mitigated by lowering the buffer settings in the mupen64plus.cfg file, though lowering it too much will cause audio crackling. For improved audio latency and sync, consider using [https://docs.libretro.com/library/mupen64plus/ Mupen64Plus-Next] through RetroArch.

Now copy all Multi-emulator programs such as BizHawk, OpenEmu and RetroArch also use a version of Mupen64Plus for their N64 emulation, though they do so by turning the .ini and .cfg files emulator into this folder. Next create a folder in there and name it "save"core that interfaces with the frontend through an API such as RetroArch's libretro.
