The N64 emulation scene Mupen64Plus uses its own plugin spec, so it is a mess. Checking [http://bmgcl.atspace.cc/n64mgcl/N64ConfigList.htm this site] and using not compatible with plugins targeting the older zilmar plugin spec used by emulators such as Project64 unless they have been specifically ported to the appropriate [http://www.mediafirenew spec.com/?6c33nky4jyzc13w emulator/However, just about every plugin] per game is recommendedworth using has now been ported or simultaneously targets both. ==Using Mupen64Plus==

WindowsBy 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.

Not only does it come with everything set up, but it also comes with every plugin maintained by the Mupen64Plus development team plus GLideN64. 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/dh4/mupen64plus-qt mupen64plus-uiqt]* [https://github.com/simple64/simple64-consolegui/ simple64-gui] is a nice GUI created in Qt5 in 2017 and updated to Qt6 in 2022.exe" "F[[simple64]] is a package created by the same author, which combines recent builds of Mupen64Plus with the ParaLLEl-RDP and RSP plugins and simple64-gui. This is arguably the easiest works-out-of-the-box package for beginners, as there's nothing necessary to configure except controls, though this comes at the expense of not being able to use other plugins.* [https:\Games\Super Mario 64//github.com/Rosalie241/RMG Rosalie's Mupen GUI] is the newest up-and-coming GUI, and aims to provide both ease of use and a complete emulation package.

Almost all configuration is done through the UI, with little need to dive into the command line or config files. Highly recommended if you desire more options than those afforded by simple64.n64

Rice's Video is a plugin used on other N64 emulators, most known for its support for hi-res texture packs, now enhanced for Mupen64plus. It also has support for bilinear, trilinear, and anisotropic filtering, texture scaling, and up to 16x MSAA. It is not quite up to Glide64's level, but it does well enough for many games and is quite fast. The default RSP plugin appears to be just an enhanced port of vanilla Mupen64's RSP.googleUse this combination if you have a lower end PC and can't handle the Commonly Used setup.com/p/mupen64plus/wiki/ThirdPartyPlugins
