Mupen require write access to folder where app resides - Version: 0.5, 1/30/2006 01:27AM PST
chinarut--2008
I'm on a mac mini 1.25 /A with 1GB RAM and got it to work.
not all the demo test ROMs ran however some major ROMs ran indicating this emulator works to some degree.
it definitley pushed my mini to the limit and in general, had to disable the audio (it's only a G4)
To crash victims: Muopen currently requires write access to a ./Saves folder which is not configurable. In my configuration, my /Applications folder is not writeable by anyone but the administrator. Mupen will crash repeatedly. The workaround is to keep the application in a folder that has write access.

To make the game work - Version: 0.5, 12/8/2005 02:17AM PST

In order to make this version 5 work you need to create a new folder called "Save" and put it in the same folder as the application, in order to make the roms work, you need to decompress them, some compressed roms work thou.
Mupen64 seems slightly faster than SixtyForce, but both are jerky on my machine, which makes the audio essentially unlistenable. Mupen supports more ROMs (e.g. Master Quest wouldn't get past the profile creation screen on SixtyForce), but Ocarina of Time seems to display the same glitches under both emulators. The deal breaker for me is that Mupen doesn't yet support USB gamepads. Navigating with arrow keys just doesn't do it for me. SixtyForce has a few more options on how you can configure the level of detail, some of which are buggy at this point, but with all the bells and whistles turned on, Ocarina is absolutely gorgeous, albeit unplayably slow.
I'm not putting a star-rating at this point, as it seems a bit unfair to rate the software this early in its development. Both look like they will be great emulators given another 6 to 12 months of development. If I get a new Intel iMac in that time, I might try it again to see how much the extra horsepower makes a difference.
Much thanks to the developers for all their efforts.
