Back in 2022 I wrote about building Mupen64Plus natively on Apple Silicon. It worked, but only as a command-line build with a simple launcher script, and the dynamic recompiler (dynarec) wasn't usable on macOS yet. Since then I've been waiting for a proper N64 emulator with a real user interface that runs natively on my Mac.
That wait is over: Assisted by AI, I ported Rosalie's Mupen GUI (RMG) to macOS. It's a modern Qt frontend around mupen64plus with an excellent set of plugins. The result is a signed and notarized app for Apple Silicon Macs, providing premium class emulation performance and comfort, which you can download and start with a double-click.
