Rosalie's Mupen GUI is a free and open-source mupen64plus front-end written in C++.

This fork is focused around netplay with the Kaillera protocol, supporting both traditional Kaillera servers and direct peer-to-peer connections. Available on Windows and Linux.

• Server browser with sortable columns, ping, and region info

• Favorite servers with custom server support

• Right-click tools: Copy IP, Ping, Traceroute (with live output dialog)

• Frame delay: Auto (server-assigned) or manual override (1-9 frames)

• Connection persistence: Stay connected between games for quick restarts

• Beep/flash on join: Get notified when a player joins your game room

• Auto host message: Configurable message sent to players joining your room

  

• NAT traversal via connect codes: No port forwarding required
• Persistent connect codes: Your code is saved across sessions
• Frame delay selector: Choose Auto or 1-9 frames, with ping-range labels showing the recommended range for each setting
• Live ping display: See your connection quality in real-time
• Public game listing: Optionally list your hosted game on the public waiting-games browser
• Ready sync: Both players must ready up before the game starts

• On-Screen Chat Display: See what your opponent is saying without alt-tabbing. Customizable or disableable in Settings -> OSD
• Press Enter to Chat: Chat while in-game without switching windows. Press ESC to cancel. Rebindable in Hotkeys -> System

• Record and replay Kaillera sessions (.krec files)

• Configurable storage cap to auto-disable recording when full

• Playback with pause, resume, and frame-advance controls

• Player names visible in the replay list

  

• Yes, your N64 controller works :D

• OEM Nintendo Gamecube adapter and Input Integrity Lossless adapter tested and working

  

RMG-Input uses independent per-axis scaling similar to the Ownasaurus USBtoN64v2 adapter and N-Rage input plugin:

• Should support most xinput devices

• Configurable range slider (0-100%) with default 66% to match N-Rage

• Linear scale: 100% = 127 (protocol max)

• Per-axis deadzone handling instead of circular deadzone
