## Setup

> Notice: This program will write to your existing [mupen64plus.cfg](https://mupen64plus.org/wiki/index.php/FileLocations#Windows_Vista_and_Newer), make a backup before running.

1. **Place Files**

    * Put `Ultra.exe` in the `Mupen64Plus` folder that contains the `mupen64plus.dll`.  

      [Screenshot 1](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MattMcManis/Ultra/master/docs/Ultra%20Setup/01.png)

2. **Set Paths & Defaults**

    * Run `Ultra.exe`

    * In the `Paths` tab, press the `Defaults All` button to automatically set the paths and controls.  

      Or manually set your `Mupen64Plus` and `Plugin` Paths.  

      [Screenshot 2](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MattMcManis/Ultra/master/docs/Ultra%20Setup/02.png)

    

    * Set your `ROMs` Path (`.n64`/`.v64`/`.z64` files in subfolders will be detected).

3. **Configure Graphics, Audio, Controls**

    * The `Plugin Configure Windows`, such as `GLideN64`, will not have the values loaded from `mupen64plus.cfg` yet.

    * In the `Plugins` tab, press the `Generate` button to generate the selected plugin default values.  

      [Screenshot 3](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MattMcManis/Ultra/master/docs/Ultra%20Setup/03.png)  

    

    * When you open a `Plugin Configure Window` the controls will now be loaded with the defaults.

### Tips

**Plugin Combinations for best results**

- `GLideN64` + `RSP HLE`

- `Angrylion Plus` + `CXD4` (Requires powerful PC)

**Resolution**

- If `Windowed`, select `4:3` aspect ratio to avoid black bars on sides.  

  [Screenshot (Black Bars)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MattMcManis/Ultra/master/docs/Display%20Settings/02%20-%20Windowed%2016-9%2C%20Plugin%20Force%204-3.jpg)  

  [Screenshot (Native)](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MattMcManis/Ultra/master/docs/Display%20Settings/01%20-%20Windowed%204-3.jpg)

- If `Fullscreen`, select your monitor's actual aspect ratio, such as `16:9`, then select the Plugin's option `Force 4:3`, or else it will stretch to fit your screen.

- If you want an extended view, select a `16:9` resolution, and in the Plugin select `Aspect Ratio Adjust` or `Widescreen`.

- If game is slow, select a lower resolution.
