New
- A new icon and background on the home screen.
- A new look for the pause menu and Settings: one panel with switches, a volume slider and icons. In the pause menu, the touchpad resumes, Square resets the game (it asks first) and Triangle goes back to the game list; Save State, Load State and Quit are at the top and bottom of the list.
- Quick save and load: in a game, press R3 (the right stick) to save in the current state slot, and L3 (the left stick) to load it. The pause menu now opens with the touchpad only.
- Cheats: a Cheats page in the pause menu with the GameShark codes of mupen64plus's cheat list (about 560 game versions: infinite lives, unlock everything and more). Switch each one on or off, or pick one of its choices; the game remembers them.
- Controller layout (Settings): choose what each DualSense button does on the N64 controller. Cross, Circle, Square, Triangle, L1, R1, L2 and R2 (separately), OPTIONS, the D-pad and the right stick can each press any N64 button, or nothing. From the game list it changes every game's layout; from the pause menu, only the game you are playing, which keeps it.
- Settings: Volume (0 to 100%), also from the pause menu while you play.
