  4. @3 yes, but it's very outdated, and the lack of GUI makes it unappealing.

  5. @5: It's not outdated but you're right that mupen64plus lacks a GUI.

    It's easy to get it running without a GUI you just need some basic knowledge for it. Configuration is a little bit more work but still very possible, the wiki has good documentation.

    What bothers me the most is that the compatibility with games are not very good. Sure you can most of the times start them but they're usually full with graphical glitches. A more complete mupen64plus.ini and RiceVideoLinux.ini would probably help on that bit though but it's a lot of work to edit those and the documentation for them is pretty much non existent or I would give it a try.

  6. @4: It doesn't need a GUI. There are plenty of great frontends to launch emus/games. Advanced Launcher and Wah!Cade come to mind. Advanced Launcher in particular is great if you're running all your emulators on your tv from an HTPC since it's an XBMC plugin.
