Hi rondom,
Mupen64Plus for libretro is a fork and is not maintainable by upstream.
The libretro guys changed a lot of things,
so right now it's quite a different emulator with even different
compatibility list. They are incompatible.
Others emulators are upstream friendly, like Nestopia, mGBA and Genesis
Plus GX.

I had a look at libretro-mupen64plus (out of curiosity only). I saw that
it bundles a copy of mupen64plus and its modules.
Due to the fact that Mupen64plus can be used as a library and it is
already in Debian I am wondering in how far this copy differs from the
upstream mupen64plus.
Given that emulators handle a lot of untrusted data from various
(sometimes shady) sources I am wondering whether it is possible/feasible
to use the already packaged mupen64plus with libretro.
I am not very familiar with libretro, so please excuse my ignorance.
