NAME
       mupen64plus - Console front-end for the Mupen64Plus N64 emulator

SYNOPSIS
       mupen64plus [parameters(s)] [romfile]

DESCRIPTION
       Mupen64Plus is a plugin-based N64 emulator for Linux/Unix, OSX, and Windows which is capable of accurately playing many games. Included are
       four MIPS R4300 CPU emulators, with dynamic recompilers for 32-bit x86 and 64-bit amd64 systems, and necessary plugins for audio, graphical
       rendering (RDP), signal co-processor (RSP), and input. There are currently two OpenGL video plugins available: the included Rice Video, and
       Arachnoid (at http://bitbucket.org/wahrhaft/mupen64plus-video-arachnoid/).

       The most current documentation can be found at the project's homepage:

	      Specifies a plugin-spec to select an audio plugin for use during emulation.

       --input plugin-spec
	      Specifies a plugin-spec to select an input plugin for use during emulation.

	      Specifies a plugin-spec to select an RSP plugin for use during emulation.

       --emumode mode
	      Specifies which mode the emulator core should run in. mode should be set to  one	of  the  following  numbers:  0=Pure  Interpreter,
	      1=Cached Interpreter, 2=Dynamic Recompiler (DynaRec).

	      Take screenshots at frames given in the comma-separated list, then quit.

       --core-compare-send
	      Use  the core comparison debugging feature, in data sending mode.  If the core was not compiled with support for the Core Comparison
	      feature, then the emulator will exit with an error.

       --core-compare-recv

       --saveoptions
	      Save the given command-line options into the mupen64plus configuration file to use as defaults in the  future.   Since  the  console
