It needs to be -copied to your RetroArch system dir, which will be the directory your ROM is -located if you haven't set it. +mupen64plus-libretro tries to emulate the complete mupen64plus experience +(think multiple graphic and RSP plugins). They also make modifications to +the code as they see fit. + +Because mupen64plus is built to be modular it is difficult to "convert" +that project to a libretro core, since you end up with functions with the +same name (for instance multiple functions named "PluginStartup"). + +Many modifications had to be made to the mupen64plus-libretro code to get +it to work inside libretro. As a result, it differs quite greatly from vanilla +mupen64plus (there is no up to date GLideN64 implmentation for example). + +By choosing one RSP implentation (rsp-hle) and one graphics plugin (GLideN64), +we will be able to keep the code in line with upstream, and maintaining the +code will be much simpler.
