'''Mupen64Plus''' is an open-source, multi-platform, plugin-based [[Nintendo 64 emulators|Nintendo 64 emulator]] that forks from and updates Mupen64. Its developers elected to move away from Zilmar's plugin spec and developed their own set, meaning plugins from other N64 emulators won't work with it. It also has [https://github.com/libretro/mupen64plus-libretro -nx a forked a libretro core] under active development.

==PDPReview==Sub 2 PewDiePieMupen64Plus lacks a GUI, so it may be difficult to use without using a front-end. It is run either directly from the command line with arguments or by dragging and dropping ROM files onto the executable. Unlike every other N64 emulator, Mupen64Plus uses its own plugin spec, so it is not compatible with any plugins except those specifically ported to its spec. 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 putting it too low will cause audio crackling. For improved audio latency and sync, consider using mupen64plus-libretro through RetroArch.
==Front-ends==
* [http://m64py.sourceforge.net/ M64Py] is highly recommended for a Mupen64Plus frontend. 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.

* [https://github.com/m64p/mupen64plus-gui/ mupen64plus-gui] is a nice Qt5 GUI newly created in 2017. [https://m64p.github.io/ [m64p]] is a package created by the same author, which combines recent builds of mupen64plus with the GLideN64 and the Angrylion RDP Plus video plugins and Mupen64plus-gui. This is arguably the most complete out-of-the-box package for the end user as of August 2017.
