Mupen64Plus Editor's Review

Mupen 64 Plus is Nintendo 64 emulator. What is an emulator? An emulator takes older hardware (in this case the Nintendo 64) and uses clever software to allow your hardware to run in the place of it, although generally less efficiently (for example the Nintendo 64 had 2MB of ram, whereas Mupen 64 requires 256MB) this means you can play any game from these old systems on your new system, and in the case of this Nintendo 64 emulator allows your PC to double up as a Nintendo 64

In addition to be able to simply emulate these games, they can be emulated with many interesting settings you cannot get from the original, such as use of any controller you want (whether that be your keyboard, or an Xbox 360, PS3 or even original Nintendo 64 USB controller). This allows you to use any control scheme that feels comfortable with you, as some people find keyboards to be ineffective, and some find the original Nintendo 64 controller to be too bulky.

You can also play these games in a wide range of resolutions, not being limited to the original 480x360 that the original system outputs in, or even multiples of that resolution being up scaled. Instead, you can run any game in any resolution you choose, including HD resolutions up to 1920x1080. You also have two options here, to stretch it (which will not take more system resources) or for it to scale, which requires fairly recent hardware, and will allow some games to look far better than the original or even in wide screen. It is off course slightly buggy and will not work with all games, but is an excellent feature.

The ability to emulate Nintendo 64 programs is not entirely limited to mupen 64, however and there are a number of features that make mupen 64 unique from the rest of the emulators, the first being the scale to feature. As well as this, mupen 64 will save your favourite games and display them to you on its main screen page, rather than making you individually go into the directory and load up the roms individually, making it very easy to use as far as loading roms is concerned.

Mupen 64 is also presented very well, with sleek graphics and the entire program being easy to use GUI's. Overall, Mupen 64 is a great piece of software which gives you access to thousands of classic titles and with it literally thousands of hours of entertainment. Although it is just a facilitator for all of this, it is possibly the best Nintendo 64 out there, and with its array of performance and visual enhancing features, it is a must have.

5/5
