Oww I played gba version of it. Didn't like it much, but maybe i will give it a try on mupen64plus. Thanks for recommendation.

Could someone test saves states? (I can't do it myself today :( )

ps
IzzehO, you could list the games on second post that don't work. It will save time for ppl :)

Just assume they won't work.. and you'll be sweet. As most don't. I'd gone through a good 60-70 games that don't work now. (Note that 20-30 did... they were just not good enough to post)

@ Azzhanlon2004:
Maybe you have already created the directory?
Just go ahead then.

To change frame skip and resolution.
Edit gles2n64.conf
Code:
leafpead .mupen64plus/mupen64plus.conf
For full screen change screen width = 800. To disable (or increase) frameskip change it as instructed. There are other things to play with in this config, just experiment.
I think there is a little misspelling in the code.
Code:

leafpad .mupen64plus/gles2n64.conf
woulb be correct, I think.

But thank you very much, it workes really good, and it wasn't that hard to get it working, even for a complete new Linux and xterm user like me.

Oh and for fullscreen you need to change the Window width=800 too.

Oh, that's news to me! So I'm guessing having all emus work at 20FPS with smooth sound is definitely plausible.

So is there a newer and better version of the GPU plugin that can be integrated into this emu?

is it possible to use the accelerometer as dpad?
that would be freakin' awesome!

You don't have to erase anything, just start new, and if it says "cannot create <directory> exist" just go on with the next command.

Okay, where did you untar the original file to? Let's say it was on your Memory Card. And let's say your roms are on your memory card in a folder called games. Then you would type this (there's no carriage return in the command, it just gets wrapped when I type it here):

/media/mmc1/Mupen64plus/mupen64plus /media/mmc1/games/StarFox64.n64

this was one of my questions earlier which i didnt get i ran the extract code line starting wget zxf or woteva it was but nothing happened whaat program do you use to extracr a tar file?

Reffyyyy 2010-07-03 19:42

Re: How To: Nintendo 64 Emu for N900
 
I just found out that if I hold "F" that the game fast forwards. Surely there should be a way to permanently enable this?

Just use the command:
Code:

tar zxf Mupen64Plus.tar.gz
Make sure you downloaded the file with "wget" via xterm and not just by pressing the link in the OP. (I made that fault the first time)

Azzhanlon2004 2010-07-03 20:18

Re: How To: Nintendo 64 Emu for N900
 
this will prob help me.
when you download the file code.
wget http://..... etc
it downloads but were too?? i cnt find it when i go into my file manager.
where will i find it?

mkdir .mupen64plus
then i get the code that it exsits but i cant find it in my file manager

it just doesn't show in the filemanager (I'm not sure why, I think its because of the dot or because the file manager only shows whats in MyDocks, but that doesn't matter), it exists, and thats good :p.

Now what does it say if you type the next command?
The "mv" one?

ps: i'm a real linux noob, don't sue me, if i'm saying something wrong, i'm just trying to help, because even I could get this working :p.

really annoying me lol ive got every other emu working i just wanna play zelda oot.
just completed zelda link to the past 4 sword... what a game!!!

Re: How To: Nintendo 64 Emu for N900
 
Just a question. What do you all mean with "the sound is very glitchy"? I use jttl_audio and it works flawlessy when, for example, running MK64 time trial (not GP - it slowed everything down - even if the SOUND worked, when I enabled it), or F-zero X time trial. And no, I've not overclocked. Hoever, I use frameskip=4 for getting it fullspeed that way.

Someone should make an UI, or at least automate this with a script, so everyone could play it properly (yes, i know others have said this, just saying). :)

hmm, try
Code:

rmdir Mupen64Plus
and the again the mkdir

but I'm not sure if I can help you if it doesn't work.

The emu worked for me, after i installed the RenPy for libsdl and figured my mistake with the "wget"

Do you have libsdl installed?

thanks for the help but still a no go i did the rmdir then retried but still got same error.
no such file or directory :(

slartibartfass 2010-07-03 21:31

Re: How To: Nintendo 64 Emu for N900
 
I think i figured it out now.
Code:

rm -rf Mupen64Plus
to remove the directory.
then start with the mkdir again.

this just gets better well that worked but i took out the * on the mv mupen line and it let me in now when i go to run it i get a new error.

.mupen64plus/mupen64plus: permission denied

anything lol

slartibartfass 2010-07-03 21:46

Re: How To: Nintendo 64 Emu for N900
 
dont take the * out. I removed everything with mupen and set it up new, and it worked again, so tell me where you stuck, so i can help you.

Don't change anything on the commands, just copy&paste

Re: How To: Nintendo 64 Emu for N900
 
this will prob be silly but i cant copy and paste from xterm..

i did what you said and once again get the following error

mv: cannot rename 'mupen64plus/*': no such file or directory

slartibartfass 2010-07-03 22:02

Re: How To: Nintendo 64 Emu for N900
 
you need to tap in the xterm on the top of the window, and in the menu use "paste".

Quote:

Well, did you create the directory?

you can copy from the browser like this:
slide your finger from left outside the screen to the screen, a cursor will appear. tap it. Now you can select text and copy it with ctrl+v.

To paste in the term tap the top UI thingie and select... paste.
hint: you can copy&paste multiple lines in the term. (And use TAB to autocomplete)
hint2:
Code:

ln -s /home/user/.mupen64plus/mupen64plus /bin/mupen64plus
now you can run Mupen without typing the full path

mkdir ....... then hit enter it does to the next line then i type the mv line
then i get the error msg..

ive found the paste now however i cant seem the copy from the code box???

now that sake explained this too (I hope you know now how to c&p)
start from the extraction again (the "tar" one)

E: i've experimented a bit with the gles2n64.conf
seems like the best screen resolution is
width=800
height=510
(in both, Screen and window)
and if you want a better perfomance with OoT set
textrure depth=2.

OoT runs not perfect but it's playable, and has a purple sky lol.

but the issue with no saving sucks :/

u guys are legends! sorry for being such a n00b.

prob last question after creating a symlink it is asking me for a password??

sake 2010-07-03 22:26

Re: How To: Nintendo 64 Emu for N900
 
try execute the command as root(install rootsh, en then type sudo gainroot)
after executing the command, type exit to return to normal user

PIN code or screen lock code?

otherwise type first "sudo gainroot" + enter and then the command without sudo.

yes i did the sudo gainroot then the command.

it just went to the next line so i take it that means it worked?
also i did ur code from last page so i dont have to do full line to work the roms. now this should be my final question hopefully i have the rom called zelda64.v64 in nokia N900/N64/zelda64/zelda64.v64

so what do i now type in xterm to run? cheers ppl :)

slartibartfass 2010-07-03 22:44

Re: How To: Nintendo 64 Emu for N900
 
Type:
Code:

cd MyDocks/N64/zelda64/
mupen64plus zelda64.v64.

You can just type the first letters and then press the tab on your screen. Like:
My<tab>N<tab>z<tab>
mu<tab>
with this youre faster and everything is correctly spelled. if you press tab and nothing happens, there are more possibilities. you can daubletab to see wich options you have or continue typing.

dont expect too much with the zelda game, it doesn't run as good as supermario. also check my post with the settings for the gle2n64.conf for better performance.

sake 2010-07-03 22:47

Re: How To: Nintendo 64 Emu for N900
 
if everything went right:
Code:

cd
mupen64plus MyDocs/N64/zelda64/zelde64.v64

Re: How To: Nintendo 64 Emu for N900
 
Wow... some really bad advice going on in this thread. Your issue from the beginning was you typed the command wrong (very wrong and amazed no one caught it) your second issue was you typed it right... but without case. Linux IS case sensititve... mupen64plus is NOT the same as Mupen64Plus .. next time copy the code properly and it'll work much better.

Just to clarify... where you are doing all the extracting and editing and saving is in your /home/user directory... this is essentially the users main directory on the hardrive. In this folder there is a shortcut to MyDocs which, when opened with the cd command takes you to the same folder show as N900 in the file manager.


On another note: Fixed those couple errors people have found. And am going to point out that pretty much all the other questions in this thread have been answered in my first 2 posts... read them before posting silly questions.

As to the audio: Buggy probably wasn't the word but for almost every game it slows it down immensely as it needs a good rework to run well.
