mupen64plus  is  a  plugin‐based  N64  emulator  for  Linux/Unix,  OSX,  and  Windows 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 several OpenGL video plugins available:

       •   Rice, included with the distribution

       •   Glide64Mk2, included with the distribution

       •Arachnoid: https://github.com/mupen64plus/mupen64plus-video-arachnoid

       •Glide64: https://github.com/mupen64plus/mupen64plus-video-glide64 (old)

       •Z64: https://github.com/mupen64plus/mupen64plus-video-z64 (must be used with the rsp-z64 plugin)

       The most current documentation can be found at the project’s homepage: https://mupen64plus.org/.
