Hello, end user questions here. I just built a new rig that will be running windows 7 64 bit and wanted to get instructions on setting up mupen 64plus on it. (I get the impression that it's the furthest and most actively developed nintendo 64 emulator right now) It's not put together yet, so I can't do testing for a week or two yet, but I wanted to get some questions answered first.
my info, what I need help with is:
I've downloaded the newest release from google code for 32 bit windows, I assume there is no 64 bit windows build. (1.99.4) as well as later SVN builds.
My monitor resolution is 1680x1050, I'd want to run games full screen at that resolution. I use a wired usb xbox360 controller with microsoft drivers for a controller, sometimes 2 at a time for multiplayer. I may want to try high resolution texture packs at some point too - instructions on that?
1. is there a good windows GUI frontend for the newer releases and svn compiles of mupen64plus? I'd prefer to use a gui based config system to commandline if possible, unless I'd be missing out on newer features in the recent release's code, etc.
2. if there is no actively updated / highly compatible gui frontend at the moment, I'd like some walkthrough on setting up for the aforementioned settings and running a game via commandline options. (The tutorial on the official wiki seems to only be for linux, there was a short one for windows I found but it wasn't quite specific enough and was more for initial install than running a game) I'm just an end user, I'm moderately computer literate, but I admit I don't use commandline programs often. So some specific examples of what I should type/etc is appreciated.
3. keyboard shortcuts. what are they for things like state saves / loads, loading mempacks or files, things like that.
thank you immensely for any help given and apologies if this is an irrelevant topic - I didn't see anything discouraging end user questions, and mupen64plus doesnt' seem to have an official forum.
