Mupen64Plus is a N64 emulator software for Linux.

Mupen64Plus is a plugin-based N64 emulator for Linux which is capable of accurately playing many games. Included are four MIPS R4300 CPU emulators, with dynamic recompilers for 32-bit x86 and 64-bit amd64 systems, and necessary plugins for audio, graphical rendering (RDP), signal co-processor (RSP), and input. There are 3 OpenGL video plugins included: glN64, RiceVideoLinux, and Glide64.

Here are some key features of "Mupen64Plus":

· Dynamic recompilers for 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (amd64) machines
· 3 OpenGL video plugins: glN64, RiceVideoLinux, Glide64
· Hi-resolution texture support in Rice Video
· LIRC Infrared remote control support
· Rumble Pak support
· GTK2-based GUI
· Command-line options for integration into other systems
· Installation support for multi-user systems

Key Commands In Emulator

The keys or joystick/mouse inputs which will be mapped to the N64 controller for playing the games are determined by the input plugin. The emulator core also supports several key commands, which are fixed and cannot be changed. They are:

Escape == Quit the emulator
0-9 == Select virtual 'slot' for save/load state (F5 and F7) commands
F5 == Save emulator state
F7 == Load emulator state
Alt-Enter == Toggle between windowed and fullscreen (may not be supported by all video plugins)
p or P == Pause on/off
