M64Plus FZ Emulator is an Android app for running Nintendo 64 games, built as a front end for Mupen64Plus 2.5. It includes the emulator cores and plugins needed to get started. Features listed include save states, cheat support, high-resolution rendering, controller remapping, and OpenGL ES graphics rendering. The maker says the software is free under GNU GPL version 3 or later and links to source repositories for Mupen64Plus AE, Mupen64Plus, GLideN64, and its own modifications. The listing says most games work, but compatibility can vary by game and device; some games may need a different video plugin. Netplay server support is limited to the Pro version. Internet play requires a router with UPnP, while local play works over the same Wi-Fi without it. The app is free, with optional in-app donations. Past releases are available for manual Android installation. Google Play says the app does not share data with third parties, may collect files and documents, app activity, and two other data types, and encrypts data in transit.
