that's what i use... it's kinda buggy with the input config, but as long as you restart the program before running a game after changing into config, you should be alright. (i tried emulating Project 64, doesn't work :rolleyes: )

I use mupen64 too, and after I compiled it from source I noticed a large jump in frame rate, if that's also a problem.

Personal favorites:

Arcade:
Xmoto (http://xmoto.sourceforge.net/) (Elastomania anyone?)
Neverball (http://icculus.org/neverball/) (Tilt ball awesomeness)
Armagetron Advanced (http://armagetronad.net/) (Tron cycle game)
Any game by Kenta Cho (http://www.happypenguin.org/test/list?s_title=&s_author=Kenta+Cho&s_company=&s_description=&s_requirements=&s_category=any&s_rating_op=eq&s_rating=any&s_rating_nr=on&s_license=any&s_sound=any&s_source=any&s_x11=any&s_console=any&s_3d=any&s_multiplayer=any&s_network=any&submit=Search&.cgifields=s_rating_nr) (Tumiki FIghters, Gunroar, Torus Trooper are all freaking awesome retro shoot-em ups)

Strategy:
Gate88 (http://www.queasygames.com/gate88/) (awesome retro RTS)
Globulation 2 (http://epfl.ysagoon.com/wiki//index.php) (cool blob RTS)
LiquidWar (http://www.ufoot.org/liquidwar) (very unique strategy where you control some liquid and try to eat your opponents, just try it)

Emulaton:
ZSNES (http://www.zsnes.com/) (Super Nintendo in all its glory)
