Is there a way to hide the FPS numbers in the bottom left corner of
the screen? I know the keyboard shortcut to get to fullscreen is Alt
+Enter, and I was wondering if there was something similar to get
those numbers off of the screen. They can be kind of annoying after
awhile, especially when I don't care what the exact frame rate is
anymore.

try opening up the video plugin and checking to see if you can disable
it there.
Both Glide64 and Rice have an option to disable FPS (in version 1.5)

Sounds like you are using glide64, are you? Which version of Mupen64Plus on
which Distribution are you using?
Since those information are missing I can only say how it works for glide64 on
mupen64plus 1.99.3 on Linux (Debian sid amd64 in this case).

The output of fps is plugin specific. So you first force to save the config
with glide64 loaded.
$ mupen64plus --rsp mupen64plus-rsp-hle --gfx mupen64plus-video-glide64 --saveoptions my_test.rom
$ $EDITOR ~/.config/mupen64plus/mupen64plus.cfg
SEARCH FOR something like "show_fps = 9" under [Video-Glide64] and change it
to "show_fps = 0". Save and quit the editor
$ mupen64plus --rsp mupen64plus-rsp-hle --gfx mupen64plus-video-glide64 my_test.rom

Best regards,
Sven

I'm using Glide64 on Mac OS X 10.5 w/Mupen64Plus version 1.9.9.3.
Sorry guys, that was sloppy of me not to include that off the bat.

I had searched the config files in the application bundle, as well as
the .sh files (for Glide, rice, & arach), for the phrase "fps," but
before posting this I decided to search some of the files that had
looked like gibberish (bunches of foreign characters and such), and I
found the phrase "show_fps" in the file "mupen64plus-video-
glide64.dylib". However, I have no idea what to change the surrounding
code to, since there are no equals signs around. I copied the
surrounding section out of my text editor and pasted it below. Does
anyone know how to modify this (or another part of the file) to turn
off the FPS display in Glide64?

Hi,

mupen64plus.cfg is located in "~/.config/mupen64plus". (You can use
Finder menu Go > Go to folder then enter
this folder). You will find the configuration file there

oh, and as Sven mentionned, you will need to pass the '--saveoptions'
flag to mupen to see the
FPS option appear in this file. You can add this option to the shell files

Thank you so much! I couldn't figure out where to find the config
file, and it wasn't showing up on my Finder searches (I had searched
for "mupen64plus").

In the end, what I did was open the config file using M Gagnon's
directions and then edit it using Sven Eckelmann's directions (found
"show_fps = 9" and change it to "show_fps = 0"). It worked
wonderfully! Thank you so much everyone!
