To complete Jorge's answer:
with Ubuntu 10.10, installing from Ubuntu Software Center, we got Mupen64 v1.5
this version contains a nice Graphic User interface.-
with Ubuntu 12.04, installing from Ubuntu Software Center, now we get Mupen64 v1.99
this version does not get Graphic User Interface.
But anyway, install v1.99, and then thanks to third parties, we can get Graphic User Interface like:

Still to complete Jorge's answer, install Mupen64Plus
And create your own icons:
With Mupen64 v1.99.4, the only interface is the console interface.
So without third party to get a Graphic User Interace, you can simply create your own icons (one per game):
- Install alacarte
sudo apt-get -y install alacarte
and open it
in Menus, Game, add a new item
For the 3rd field "command", click on browse and select your game
Still on 3rd field "command", add mupen64plus before the path of your game
On 2nd field "name", add your icon title
On 4th field "description" or "comment", add your icon description
On top left corner you can even select your icon picture, select here a *.png file for example.
And then validate
Now you will find your game like this

I'm new to Ubuntu and Linux and I just downloaded mupen64plus 1.99.5 and it came as a *.tar.gz file. I found some guides about how to install a .tar.gz file with the terminal but it doesn't work. How can I install it?
