MOD EDIT: Thread title changed, as Mupen-RR is no longer deprecated.
With the release of
BizHawk 1.5.0, N64 is now supported and we finally have an alternative to mupen!
HUGE thanks to micro500 who did the porting of mupen64plus into BizHawk for this project.
For those intruiged and/or new to Bizhawk, here are some major reasons to upgrade immediately to Bizhawk:
*Better core, including the pause glitch in Oot fixed, and many games are now TASable such as DK64 and Rayman 2
*Doesn't crash all the time
*Reset Recording
*Integrated Ram Watch/Search/Memory Viewing tools
*Lua support
*Sync stable movie recording (note: There may be core determinacy issues in mupen64plus, but at least the movie/savestate system isn't the culprit)
*Automatic saving/loading of plugin settings (no longer will the viewer have to set up the emulator before playing the movie)
*Much better and more stable encoding
*More hotkeys, tools, friendlier UI
*And most importantly: An active development crew (as opposed to mupen which has been basically untouched for 8 years)
The main point of this thread, is to get users to use BizHawk and "peer review" the N64 core, and have a discussion on officially deprecating (and one day banning) mupen for submission to TASVideos.
