Mupen64 is a Nintendo 64 emulator useful for its customizability. There are many forks of Mupen64, the most documented of which is Mupen64-RR v0.5, which is nearly universally used for TASing.
Mupen64plus
Mupen64plus (stylized as mupen64plus) is an emulator used for standard gameplay. It is generally preferred in this regard over Mupen64.
Mupen64-RR
Mupen64-RR (stylized as mupen64-rr) is an emulator used for TASing. Its competitor is Bizhawk.

Hacked versions of Mupen64-RR
Because Mupen64 does not have perfect emulation accuracy, there are several hacked versions of Mupen to deal with this, as well as to allow for additional functionality.
Mupen64-Lua
Mupen64-lua supports Lua scripting, which gives Mupen64-rr much more power for testing and brute forcing[1]. It is not used for TASing, only for testing and preparing.
Mupen64-PUs
Mupen64-PUs is a modified version of Mupen that crashes during certain float-to-short exceptions just like the Nintendo 64 console does. This is a useful alternative to console verification, but not as reliable, because there are still some unknown crashes.
Mupen64-WiiVC-RTZ
Mupen64-WiiVC-RTZ is a version of Mupen that emulates the Wii VC Round-To-Zero oversight. It has been used, among other things, by pannenkoek2012 to TAS the Bowser in the Fire Sea 0x A presses run[2].
