Tutorial Added: Install Mupen64Plus 1.99.3

Mupen64Plus

We’ve added a new tutorial on how to install and use the latest version of Mupen64Plus (1.99.3), which was released this past week.

Because MP64+ runs from the command line (Terminal), it’s a little tricky to get working–but don’t worry: we’ve made it really easy for you to start playing games. All you have to do is drag a rom file onto our Mupen64Plus Game Launcher, and you’re good to go!

If you’d like to learn how to install Mupen64Plus 1.99.3 (the best N64 emulator for your Mac), set up our game launcher, and more, check out our Mupen64Plus page!

If you have trouble with installation or set-up, or if you have any questions or comments at all, leave a comment below and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.

Tutorial added: PCSX-Reloaded (Windows) with Wine

We’ve published a pretty exciting tutorial here at SpeedofMac.com that shows you how you can install the Windows version of PCSX-Reloaded on your Apple Mac OS X computer. Why? Because using the Windows version gives you the opportunity to use a lot more plugins than are available for the Mac version, and this means that you can play games and get much better graphics. You can see a comparison here

The tutorial uses Wine and WineBottler to run a Windows application within OS X. And here’s the best part: it’s completely free and completely legal.
