10 Emulators To Turn Your Computer Into A Retro Console
Mupen64plus is an N64 emulator. The program itself doesn’t come with a GUI so downloading a front-end may be required for ease of use, with the developers providing links to some recommended ones. Similar to many programs emulating its generation of consoles, it uses a plug-in system and you would definitely want to try a few to enhance your performance.

Mupen64Plus mentions (1)

  • Which N64 emulator do you consider best: Project64 or Mupen64Plus?
    M64P is an easy packaging of Mupen64Plus that comes with a GUI frontend, configured plugins, etc. Mupen64Plus is the emulator itself. Source: about 2 years ago

EmulationStation mentions (13)

  • Anyone using a launcher?
    In my opinion the ideal situation would be a backend that any developer could build a frontend to that would suit their approach. For example there are many Retroarch frontends like Highscore, EmulationStation, etc. These all suit the needs for what some person may want. Source: about 1 year ago

    I use EmulationStation on a lot of devices. It would cover what you're looking for. Other frontends I like are RetroArch and Daijisho. Source: over 1 year ago
