This latest tutorial, Launch Games with Mupen64Plus, shows you how to do just that: launch an N64 game using Mupen64Plus!
After quite a while of not being very useful, the SpeedofMac Mupen64Plus page has undergone a serious upgrade. Here’s some of what’s been added:
Head over to the SpeedofMac Mupen64Plus page to take a look for yourself!
Happy gaming!
I’ve taken some time to polish up my Mupen64Plus launcher, cleaning up the code and making the preferences easier to use. This should be done soon, but before I put it up, I’d like to hear what you folk have to say about a few things:
I might be able to include some more fixes and improvements to the launcher in the next few days if you friendly folk give me a to-do list.
I look forward to hearing from you!

p.s. This little launcher has been downloaded over 500 times. I’m glad it helps–at least when it works!
The SpeedofMac MP64+ Launcher has undergone a minor update that should fix some problems caused by spaces in rom directories (oops!).
You can download the updated launcher at http://speedofmac.com/speedofmac_mp64+_launcher.html.
Let me know how it’s working!
If anyone is looking to use Mupen64Plus from the command line and wants to run a game from a different directory than your Mupen64Plus files, here’s a little Terminal code that will help:
cd '/path/to/MP64+/files' && ./run_rice.sh '/path/to/rom/file'
Here’s how to use it:
/path/to/MP64+/files with the path where you’ve installed your MP64+ 1.99.3 files (/Applications/Mupen64Plus, for example)/path/to/rom/file with the path where your roms are located (~/Documents/Roms or /Applications/N64_Roms, for example)run_rice.sh with a different video plugin (run_glide.sh or run_arach.sh)The SpeedofMac MP64+ Launcher has undergone another update. The files necessary to launch games with MP64+ are now included in the Launcher, so you don’t have to have Mupen64Plus installed in order for this to work, and it will work no matter which folder you put it in!

Enjoy!
I spent some time today working on the Mupen64Plus launcher, and I was able to implement some pretty cool features:

This version is working pretty well on this end, and we hope that it works well for you, too!
We’ve been working hard on our Mupen64Plus 1.99.3 game launcher and configuration tool for Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
And we’ve added some really useful new features that all work without leaving the application:
We’re really happy about this build, and we hope you will be, too! Please leave a comment below and let us know if it’s working for you!
Happy gaming,

I’ve thrown together a basic Mupen6Plus+ Mac GUI for anyone who’s interested (Snow Leopard only, I’m afraid). It’s an application that lets you choose your Mupen64Plus window resolution, whether to run Mupen64Plus fullscreen, and a button that will let you choose a rom file to open:
It hasn’t been tested on another computer, so I don’t want to release it widely yet. Leave a comment if you’re interested in trying it out!
If you have been trying it out, leave a comment with your observations, comments, or issues. That way, we’ll be able to learn from each other.
Thanks to feedback from a visitor named Nick, we were able to fix a problem with our Mupen64Plus game launcher. Remember: the folder your game files are in has to be the frontmost window in the Finder. Otherwise, the launcher might try to open up whatever is selected in the front window, and it will get terribly confused. We’re looking into a better way of making this work.
We’ve uploaded the new version at our Mupen64Plus: Launching Games page. Leave us a comment and let us know if it works for you!
