Cube64 / Wii64 Version 1.4.5

Cube64/Wii64 v1.4.5 have been released, bringing updates to the Mupen64 emulator for Gamecube and Wii. Key changes include improved compatibility from upstream GLideN64 and mupen64plus-core, along with a rotated Japanese boxart and a fix for the GameCube exit issue. Enhancements also include support for 240p NTSC and PAL264p, improved ROM list loading speed, and a D-PAD option for controller input. Core changes address VI interrupt timing and issues in various games, while graphics updates improve emulator performance. Users are encouraged to report any regressions from previous versions. Download links for both versions are provided.

Cube64 / Wii64 v1.4.5 has been released. Wii64 & Cube64 are based on Mupen64 for the Gamecube/Wii. This is a port of the widely-used multi-OS N64 emulator, Mupen64, for the Nintendo Gamecube and Wii utilizing the libOGC library. The emulator employs dynamic recompilation of the N64 machine code to PowerPC (the architecture for Gamecube/Wii) and leverages fully hardware-accelerated graphics to achieve (almost) full-speed emulation in most cases.
