N64 Emulator
djlunchbox:
Yeah MA has some weird quirks. It took me forever to figure out how to set up the SNK NEO GEO "emulator"
I kept getting Script out of index errors when I pointed MA to the folder that had only NEO GEO roms but using same MAME emulator.
Figured out I had to untick that option that says "remove [] and other words in the rom name.
I'll give 2.3 a go on my build tonight. Always better to have newer versions.

It does have its' quirks and I was thinking about that just today. MA is simply a GUI that, in it's most basic form, executes commands, batch files and/or AHK scripts. So I see no reason why it can't be setup to run any program. Emulator or otherwise. It's just a matter of typing a valid command line, finding that check box to tick or untick or using the correct programming lingo in a batch or script file.
Let us know your findings for 2.3.
Lukica:
You’re spot on MA is basically a GUI that runs commands, batch files, or AHK scripts behind the scenes, so it can launch just about any program or emulator including N64 Emulators if you provide the correct command line and settings. The trick is knowing the exact syntax and making sure all the right options are set in the interface or scripts.
For testing, I recommend running your commands or batch files outside MA first to confirm they work before integrating them into the GUI. That way, if something goes wrong, you can narrow down the issue more easily.
Regarding versions, if you’re on 2.3, just so you know, the latest official version as of 2025 is 2.10. Updating to this version could give you some bug fixes and improvements. However, keep in mind that Maximus Arcade hasn’t had active development for a while, and many users have moved on to frontends like LaunchBox or BigBox for more modern features and ongoing support.
Looking forward to hearing your findings with 2.3 or after you try upgrading! If you run into any problems or want advice on setting up commands or considering other frontends, just ask.
