MupenRocket has just been updated to 0.2!

I didn’t make any major changes, but there are some pretty good ones:

• Updated included Mupen64Plus to r256 (July 10, 2011)
• Added ability to newer versions of Mupen64Plus (Configuration -> Install New Mupen64Plus)
• Made opening config files use user’s default text editor
• Added “Open Save State Folder” menu item
• Reworked config file viewing and installation
• Cleaned up code
• Fixed placement of items on window resize

I’m in the process of adding some other features, too:

• Recent games list
• More plugin configuration options
• I’m open to suggestions: leave your suggestions in the comments below!

If you encounter any issues with this version of MupenRocket, I’d appreciate it if you’d take these steps in reporting an issue:

• If you have trouble launching a game, turn on debug mode in Preferences->Launcher Settings and try launching the game again, then look for any relevant output you see in the resulting Terminal.app window
• Check /Applications/Utilities/Console.app for any entries from “mupenrocket”
• Leave a comment below with your issue and any information you can find!
