m64p uses mupen64plus-gui, a brand new mupen64plus frontend written in Qt5. It supports all of the things you’d expect from a frontend (savestate management, pausing, screenshots, etc.).

m64p comes bundled with paraLLEl-RDP for graphics. It should give you the best out-of-the-box experience available for N64 gaming.

System Requirements

m64p has higher system requirements than most N64 emulators. Your GPU needs to support Vulkan 1.1, and you need a fairly good CPU to run the games at full speed. If nothing happens when you go to start a game, it is likely because your GPU doesn’t support Vulkan 1.1.

Compatibility

This is likely the most compatible N64 emulator you’re going to come across. It can play games like Resident Evil 2, Rogue Squadron, Pokemon Snap, and World Driver Championship “out-of-the-box” (without the need to fiddle with settings, plugins, or anything of the sort).

Give it a try, you won’t be disappointed. There is no installer, just unzip and play!
