Summary

This release aims to add quality-of-life features, as well as some long-requested ones, while also fixing bugs and patching up mistakes from the previous versions.

As always, feel free to ask questions about anything in the Mupen64 Development Discord Server. Bug reports and commisioned features are greatly appreciated and help sustain the development.

Plugin Updates

The RSP plugin of choice, Hacktarux and Azimer's HLE RSP plugin, has been revived and received stability, performance, and usability improvements. It is now available as hacktarux-azimer-rsp-hle 0.2.1.

TASInput 1.1.1 has been released, with relative joystick support and various bugfixes.

The SM64 TASing script of choice, SM64 Lua Redux 2.0.1, has been updated with various minor quality-of-life fixes.

It's recommended to use MGE-enabled plugins, such as better-gln64, for instant savestate updates, improved performance, and enhanced encoding capabilities.

Hardware Support

Warning

If Mupen64 doesn't load at all, check if your processor supports AVX2. If it doesn't, use the mupen64-sse2 or mupen64-avx1 binary instead.

Lua Advisories

emu.atwindowmessage now only sends WM_MOUSEWHEEL messages as part of issue #190.

input.map_virtual_key_ex has been deprecated.
