Consoles and Emulators: Rosalies Mupen GUI

This article covers how to run DK64 Randomizer on Rosalie's Mupen GUI. Rosalie's Mupen GUI, often abbreviated to RMG, is a Mupen-based emulator which allows you to play DK64 Randomizer after a few adjustments have been applied.

Getting the Game to Save

You have two options with getting DK64R to save:

1. Utilize the Advanced ROM Header on the DK64R website. This has to be done for every seed you play.
2. Change the settings of RMG to expect 16KB EEPROM.

If you decide to change the settings, perform the following steps for every seed you play:

1. After opening your ROM, click Settings to open the settings menu
2. Click Game and ensure you're on the Game sub-tab
3. Set the save type to 16KB EEPROM. Then click Ok to close the settings menu
4. Click Shutdown on the emulator, then reload your ROM

We would recommend using the Advanced ROM Header over changing the settings.

Reduce game lag

Without changing any settings, the in-game lag you will experience will be closer to how it would play on N64. If you would like to change this so that it lags less, perform the following steps:

1. Once you have loaded up your DK64R ROM, click Settings to open up the settings menu
2. Click Core in the settings menu, then ensure Override Game Specific Settings is checked.
3. Set the counter factor to 1. This will bring the experienced lag to be in line with PJ64.

If you are running this via Steamdeck, this setting will be located under the Quick menu option:
