LINUXGAMES

After a long year of hard work, version 0.5 of Mupen64, has been released. Mupen64, for the unknowing, is a multi operating system Nintendo 64 emulator. Changes with this release is quite long, with the Linux ones shown below:

• GUI and all plugins have been switched to GKT2 (all old plugins should be recompiled for GTK2)
• detection of GTK 1.2 or GTK 2 in the configure script : if both are detected, the user can choose which one to use
• configure script rewritten so that it’s compatible with standard unix shells instead of bash
• much improved multi-user install support : if multi-user is choosen in configure script, mupen64 should be compiled (“make”) and installed (“make install”). Then, when a user launch mupen64, it will create automatically a .mupen64 folder in his home and put all required files there.
• language saved and restored correctly when quitting mupen64
• the console version (mupen64_nogui) has command line support and can read settings from the gui version config file thanks to jogibear’s patch
• autoincrement save slot option when quick saving (thanks to jdratlif’s patch)
• speed limiter in the core
• support for plugin configuration changes when a rom is running
