Background

I threw together an OS X launcher for Mupen64Plus before there was a viable MP64+ frontend like wxMupen64Plus. wxMupen64Plus is a proper Mupen64Plus frontend, whereas my launcher is just an interface for the command-line version of Mupen64Plus; it does the command-line stuff for you.

I did it mostly to learn how to hack together a basic application, and I used AppleScriptObjC to do it. This little launcher has gotten more downloads than I ever thought it would, which is a great incentive to keep working on it.

Requirements

MupenRocket requires:

• An Intel Mac running OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) or later
• 11 MB of hard disk space

Features

Although MupenRocket is technically a Mupen64Plus launcher, it does come with some handy features other than launching games:

• Rom browser
• Basic plugin configuration
• Savestate tools (managing, launching, and backing up)
• Hi-res texture tools (adding & viewing texture folders)
• Mupen64Plus updating (you can select a newer version of mupen64plus.app for MupenRocket to use instead of its pre-installed version)

It doesn't do everything, though, like provide gamepad configuration and complete plugin configuration. But it should still come in handy!
