Port of the popular multi-OS N64 emulator, Mupen64, to the Nintendo Wii and Gamecube through the libOGC library. The emulator is planned to use dynamic recompilation of the N64 machine code to PowerPC machine code and full hardware accelerated graphics to (hopefully) achieve full-speed emulation. Currently the emulator is in Alpha, and support for games is limited (see below for list of games that will load), and frame rates are very low (generally less than 10 fps). Gameplay will improve as development continues.

SORRY - NO UNOFFICIAL BUILDS. As a result of unofficial builds we tend to get 100's of emails and issues on the googlecode tracker for things we haven't even touched/modified. Really, If you want to help by adding in a feature, post up the patch or come talk to us on IRC and we'll get it sorted out. That's why the googlecode page is there, so people can submit their work, or communicate to us and keep it all centralized and neat. We don't want to have 1000 unofficial builds like Snes9xGX did!
