Mupen64Plus PS5 0.7: the Nintendo 64 in HD on a jailbroken PS5

Mupen64Plus PS5 0.7 renders Nintendo 64 games with the PS5's GPU, at up to 8 times their original resolution: GoldenEye and Perfect Dark in HD.


A native N64 emulator

Mupen64Plus PS5 is the Nintendo 64 emulator Mupen64Plus (core 2.6.0) turned into a home screen application for the jailbroken PS5. Released on 7 October 2026, it has already had two major updates. It offers a game shelf with cover art, DualSense support with rumble, save states and an x86-64 recompiler for speed.


Version 0.7: rendering moves to the GPU

Version 0.7.0 from 8 October enables by default the paraLLEl-RDP renderer in Vulkan:

• games are drawn at 4 times the N64's resolution, and up to 8 times in the settings;
• according to the author, GoldenEye 007, Perfect Dark, Conker, Majora’s Mask and Donkey Kong 64 run at full speed;
• audio goes through fast emulation (HLE), with an accurate mode (LLE) if a game sounds wrong;
• the first time a scene is displayed, there may be a brief pause while the shaders are prepared; they are then kept.

Version 0.7.1 from 14 October fixes the combing lines on interlaced images, for example in Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine.


Installation and updates

• You need a jailbroken PS5 with kstuff (or kstuff-lite), ShadowMountPlus and an ELF loader (elfldr, etaHEN or PS5 Payload Manager).
• Copy the PPSA99064 folder into /data/homebrew/, and your games into /data/mupen64plus/roms or onto a USB stick.
• The application then updates itself, checking the file's SHA-256 hash. Versions 0.6.0 to 0.6.2 are the exception: their automatic update is broken, so you have to install a recent version manually once.

No games are provided: use copies of your own cartridges. A public compatibility list is kept up to date by players.


The other consoles on PS5

The N64 joins the Super Nintendo and the PS1 (Snes9x PS5 and PSXS5), the GameCube, the PS2 and the Xbox (Porpoise, PS5SX2 and XPSemu). For everything else, see our selection of PS5 homebrews.
