Console Options

At startup, the mupen64plus program will look for a user configuration file called 'mupen64plus.cfg' (see FileLocations for more informations).

If this file does not exist, it will be created and default settings will be written. If desired, an alternate config directory can be specified using the --configdir commandline option.

Run 'mupen64plus --help' for a complete list of commandline options:

 $ mupen64plus --help
