It has been just over half a year since the last major Mupen64Plus release, so it's been a long time coming, but I'm happy to present version 1.5! This release is more evolutionary than revolutionary, with many code cleanups and improvements to existing features. Please try it out and report any problems that you have on our Google Code Issue Tracker.

Major New Features
  • Rom Cache System by Tillin9, Okaygo, and Hasone.
  • Qt4 GUI by slougi, Tillin9, and others
  • Support for Macintosh OSX platform with Intel CPUs

Minor New Features
  • Debugger improvements
  • QT GUI: translations for English, Norwegian, German, and Dutch
  • Configurable key commands for special emulator functions
  • Our own custom test ROM, courtesy of Marshallh
  • jttl_audio: added GTK GUI configuration dialog
  • soft reset function (hit F9)
  • jttl_audio: both SDL-based and OSS-based volume control methods are now supported
  • LZMA, BZip2, 7-zip archive support
  • Multi-file Zip support
  • GTK GUI: user-configurable columns in ROM browser
  • LIRC - added support for speedup, slowdown, pause, and frame advance

Bug fixes
  • There are dozen of bugfixes included, fixing problems with: save states, certain games, crashing bugs, GUI bugs, performance issues, and visual artifacts.

Mupen64Plus has a Home Page over at Google Code, with lots of useful information, screenshots, a bug tracker, a discussion forum, etc.

Tililian,

In order to use the savestate converter tool, download and unpack the source code archive for Mupen64Plus v1.5, then read the tools/savestate_convert.txt file.

I'll package a win32 version soon. Beware that it is not complete.
Great! I've been waiting patiently for another Windows version ;-p

This has been the best N64 Emulator I've used on Windows too believe it or not. It's even better than PJ64 o.o

I don't see any point in moving to Linux yet, so I'm staying on Windows.

any way to upgrade without losing any saves/plugins/etc? Just run the installer from the same directory?

You can upgrade the software just by running the installer, however the save state file format has changed from v1.4.x (in order to fix a bug). If you want to use your older savestates, you must convert them to the new format (remember to make a backup).

In order to use the savestate converter tool, download and unpack the source code archive for Mupen64Plus v1.5, then read the tools/savestate_convert.txt file.
