Site Update: Navigation Menu
I’ve thrown together a new navigation menu for the site and implemented it today. I think that it looks pretty snazzy, and I hope that it makes the site easier to use. Let me know if you have any comments, suggestions, or feedback, or if you want to learn how to make one of your own!
Visual Site Update 2
Yesterday, we updated the way that tutorial steps look. Why stop there? That’s what we thought! We’ve updated our site look, focusing on the main navigation menu. We think that it’s a little easier on the eyes, and we’d like to hear what you have to say!
Site Update (Visual)
We’ve updated the look of our tutorial steps, and we think they’re nicer to look at and easier to use. Let us know what you think!
SpeedofMac MP64+ Launcher Updated
We’ve been working hard on our Mupen64Plus 1.99.3 game launcher and configuration tool for Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
Go to the SpeedofMac MP64+ Launcher Download Page
The latest update has a number of helpful features:
- More intuitive interface
- Rom launcher works just like Command+O in any other application
- Allows control of Mupen64Plus’ default window resolution and fullscreen settings
- Volume up/down controls
- Save state controls
- Hi-res texture options (turn on/off, add texture folder)
And we’ve added some really useful new features that all work without leaving the application:
- View your current MP64+ config file (mupen64plus.cfg)
- Edit and save your mupen64plus.cfg file
- Install a new, complete mupen64plus.cfg file (needed to change default settings
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,
John
Testers Wanted: MP64+ Mac GUI
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:
What’s new in this GUI:
- More intuitive interface
- Rom launcher works just like Command+O in any other application
- Allows control of Mupen64Plus’ default window resolution and fullscreen settings
- Volume up/down controls
- Save state controls
- Hi-res texture options (turn on/off, add texture folder)
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.
Mupen64Plus Game Launcher Fixed
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!
