News

April 26, 2015: I am happy to announce the availability of the latest release of Mupen64Plus! You can download it from GitHub, via the "v2.5 Release Downloads" link on the left. Check out the release message in this emutalk thread for more information.
March 12, 2015: Google has announced the shutdown of the Google Code hosting service. Sadly, we will have to move our Mupen64Plus site off of here to a different host. We'll post our plans here once we decide where to move the site.
February 3, 2015: I apologize for such a long period with no new releases. There have actually been many many changes since the last release. Development effort has picked up significantly in the past half year or so, and we now have quite a few very smart and dedicated programmers who are improving Mupen64Plus in different areas. I promise there will be a new release this year.
