1001st post! EDIT: Darn, 1002nd :rolleyes:
I thought this would be a good opportunity to announce that I'm adapting Mupen64Plus for the N8x0 (even though my N800 doesn't have the greatest gaming controls :P)... I'll be reporting my progress shortly!

Anywho will have to chuck this on when I get some decent internet tonight. Props to javis for releasing almost instantly after I shot him a message.

That better internet ain't coming if the Libs get in...

Political shots aside, my Mupen got corrupted by the update and I had to uninstall it. After uninstalling, it no longer shows on App Manager for download anymore so I can't install it :/

Phew, i still haven't updated yet but the old version still works.

@jerro1

Have you tried to get hold of a deb file and place it into Mydocs then install it through xterminal or file manager?

Nope, I don't have access to a computer or good internet either until I get home. I've only got 200MB of download each month over mobile... so it's not very convenient for me to download anything really. I shall try that soon. Where do I get hold of the deb file? (Sorry if that's a stupid question).

Re: How To: Nintendo 64 Emu for N900 <Now in Extras-Devel>
 
I think one of these through this link,

mupen64plus

BUT, i'm not sure which one to choose. I would let someone reply to this post and you will find out which one to download.

Works perfectly fine over here now that its running. Perhaps you did something wrong. Try uninstalling then reinstalling and then apply my configs again.

so is there some solution for the libsdl-ttf2.0. thing?

AgogData 2010-08-21 12:49

Re: How To: Nintendo 64 Emu for N900 <Now in Extras-Devel>
 
why do we need to update, i mean super mario, mario kart, batman they work fine with me, do i need to update maybe to make it run smoother ? or whats the update for ?

nax3000 2010-08-21 12:57

Re: How To: Nintendo 64 Emu for N900 <Now in Extras-Devel>
 
I tried using apt-get install to get libsdl-ttf2.0 but I'm getting an error that seems because theres "(>" in the dependency name. I even tried it in quotes and it still fails.

javispedro 2010-08-21 13:23

Re: How To: Nintendo 64 Emu for N900 <Now in Extras-Devel>
 
The update is mainly to test waters with the status of the libsdlttf bug I mentioned on a previous page. :D

Re: How To: Nintendo 64 Emu for N900 <Now in Extras-Devel>
 
Hey. I'm a new, proud owner of a N900. It's an amazing device but sometimes too complicated.

I would be dying to get the N64 emulator to work, but it seems like you have to do alot of "scripting" in order to get it work. And, unfortuantly, scripting is one of my weaker powers.

I recently got the SNES emulator to work, it wasn't hard at all, and you could get a lot of help from youtube, but as I reckon, n64 is way harder to install.

I've download the file, unzipped with 7zip and then transferred it to my comp, but there are thousands of files, and I don't know where to go from there.

I've also searched the internet, but all I see is different codes to enter and that's like greek for me, so my question is, Is there any way to install this emulator in an easy way, without codes and such?

Thanks.

The new update failed for me, has anybody who has managed it got zelda to load a save game, or is this bug something else entirely?

Tranor:
The only thing you have to do is install mupen64plus via Application Manager, so remember to have extras-devel enabled in repository.

After that you only have to install his configuration, which is explained here:
Quote:

To install my config files, you can either install mupen64plus from Extras-Devel before or after these steps... it really shouldn't matter.

Now download the following file from the phone and save to your main directory:
Custom Config

Open up a terminal and issue the following:
Code:

mkdir .mupen64plus (If you haven't run mupen64plus GUI yet)
cd .mupen64plus
tar zxf /home/user/MyDocs/customconfig.tar.gz

Your done! Start the emulator.

nax3000 2010-08-21 16:00

Re: How To: Nintendo 64 Emu for N900 <Now in Extras-Devel>
 
I'm running the devel version without the custom config just fine.. what does it do anyway?

For the problem with libsdl-ttf2.0 just do:


sudo gainroot

apt-get -f upgrade

Just did that and it still comes up with this:

Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/libsdl-ttf2.0_2.0.9-1osso0+0m5_armel.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

Then downloaded the armel.deb file from here:
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in....9-1osso0+0m5/
and did a dpkg -i 'file' and that installed without errors.

Hope thats the one to use :)

I keep getting an error : "dpkg: error processing libsdl...... (--install)"

@Airtux: There's a space missing between apt-get and -f

Re: How To: Nintendo 64 Emu for N900 <Now in Extras-Devel>
 
or just instal the qt python full install. i think libsdl is in there

i stil cant get zelda to work. which rom are the working users using? mine is the USA (U) [1.2][!].z64

cddiede 2010-08-21 20:18

Re: How To: Nintendo 64 Emu for N900 <Now in Extras-Devel>
 
Ah crap, I performed an apt-get -f upgrade and while it did allow me to update mupen64plus, it's installed Python updates that are screwing up other python apps.

Now both Gpodder and Panucci fail. They report:
ImportError: No module named cairo

Can anyone suggest an apt-get method to put my python version back to normal? There's so many python runtime packages, I'm not even sure which ones to look at.

Re: How To: Nintendo 64 Emu for N900 <Now in Extras-Devel>
 
majors mask always worked and mario 64 with a little overclock runs at over 60fps

That is an incredibly bad idea and can result in parts of your OS being completely out of whack.

Don't install it then! It's in EXTRAS DEVELOPMENT. The improvements have been stated at least a dozen times.. just because you can't see them in the 3 seconds of gameplay you probably played doesn't mean they aren't there.

As to all those having troubles updating... don't update. As is it provides a little more stability for the game, but you should never, ever run an -f upgrade.. especially if you don't know what your doing.

This update only modified the mupen64plus emulator itself, not the graphics plugin: which is what is causing the issue. If you grab the old GFX plugin Zelda will work (you'll probably find it on javis' ftp site as v0.0.3 and then chuck plugins directory (to which you'll find the address in the mupen64plus.conf file in /home/user/mupen64plus).

Word.


Seriously, don't do it. I'm gonna re-flash tomorrow tolclear up my Python pandamonium. But hey, it's all part of the game when messing around with apt-get. It's a play with fire and sometimes ya get burned kinda thing.

If you don't want do that that, uninstall the applications that are having issues then reinstall them. That fails: uninstall the dependencies it has and reinstall.

Specially NOT with extras-devel enabled.

/me wonders what would happen if I reenable the workaround now, depending on libsdl-ttf2.0-0 again.

That did the trick! Had two different python 2.5 dbus packages that were to blame. All my python based apps seem to be just dandy once again!

To all the n00bs out there: Don't be like me and run random commands you see on the forums as root unless you like to re-flash or spend your Sunday picking through apt-get dependency failures. :)

Mupen64Plus is not starting at all after the update.
When I click on the icon, it is loading and closing a few seconds later again.
What could be the problem here ?

Run it from the x terminal and then tell us what the error message reads when it fails to launch.

The x terminal command to start the emu is:
/usr/bin/mupen64plus

Someone here has by the way the keyboard codes of the N900? I try to search them since a while but don't find them. I would like to change the quit button from Q to another one.

I would like to do the same thing, namely, remap the "pause" button away from the P key. But, I have no idea how to do this. Could someone write or point me to some kind of a newbie guide or walkthru to do this? Thanks.
