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.
