mupen64plus which is known to work on Linux/ARM(EL). Just need to make a proper .deb, and hardware optimized for N900.

The rar contains 2 tarballs: mupen64plus-arm-20090829.tar.gz and mupen64plus-arm-20090909.tar.gz

The former tarball also contains Mesa 7.2. I'm not sure where the executable is supposed to be, but there is a hell of a lot sourcecode in these tarballs.

I see OpenGL support, but you're gonna need OpenGL ES 2.0.

It'd also have to understand (only) the input methods for N900.

That is amazing, now all I have to do is get an n900.

Re: Nintendo 64 n900 , nintendo 64 maemo emulator
 

i will buy nokia n900 the next week and i try it , nokia n900 have open gl 2.0

Re: Nintendo 64 n900 , nintendo 64 maemo emulator
 

Nokia N900 has OpenGLES 2.0.

Why not start your own project on Garage and package properly?

You won't have to use a proprietary compression format such as rar then, and you won't have to use Rapidshare service to distribute your sourecode. I, for one, do not touch software coming from such a shady distribution channel.

I'm also interested in your patches and if you made any optimizations.

In short, I mean, a little more information please!

Re: Nintendo 64 n900 , nintendo 64 maemo emulator
 

i am not the autor but ,

here is the information that you wish:

the nintendo 64 say:

author states:

I rewrote the dynamic recompiler Mupen64Plus to generate code for ARM. This will run in OpenPandora, TouchBook and BeagleBoard.

Unfortunately, OpenGL acceleration does not work. You can use software rendering, but is very slow and some of the textures are displayed incorrectly. Since some people are working in libraries OpenGL ES, as I am posting this is for testing purposes.

When you run the emulator requires approximately 100 MB of free memory. Large ROM, or games that use the memory expansion, require a little more. Be sure to first close other applications.

Because the emulator is not in a usable state, I have made no attempt to test the controls. However, the mupen64_input.so plugin seems to work. blight_input not. You need to configure the appropriate plugin.

Compiling Mupen64Plus (or at least rice_video) requires more than 256MB of RAM. You will need to create and activate a swap partition on an external hard drive before compiling Mupen64Plus.

If you are using Angstrom, you must install the following packages: gcc, g + +, make, pkgconfig, libsdl-ttf-dev, gtk +-dev, dev-libGL, libGLU-dev, xserver-xorg-extension-glx

Some of the plugins has x86 assembly code that is not based on the arm. After Mupen64Plus building, not 'do NO_ASM plugins = 1 "to build these plugins.

The table-7.2 package in the current version of Angstrom is broken. To use the software rasterizer, you will have to compile the source table, then copy swrast_dri.so in / usr / lib / dri /

The original dynamic recompiler Mupen64 uses too much memory to run on the Pandora as it retains all the translated code and metadata. To limit memory usage, now assigned a 16MB buffer for the translation of the code, and if it fills, blocks of old are removed to make space. 16MB seems to be enough for most games without causing excessive beating. This code is in r4300/new_dynarec /.

any graphic elements required here? I'd love to design anything for this effort!


edit: I should really read the full thread before I go and post, I was really hoping this would exist *sigh oh well.

Re: Nintendo 64 n900 , nintendo 64 maemo emulator
 

+1 for the video, a video would do wonders for the bloggers.

engadget/gizmodo especially.

Re: Nintendo 64 n900 , nintendo 64 maemo emulator
 

I just had a question, why is it that i see so many threads and videos on emulators but to even mention how you would be able to get games for all these emulators is grounds for dismissle?


i would love to be able to play nes and n64 games but for the intermediate newbs here once i get the emulator then what...

Re: Nintendo 64 n900 , nintendo 64 maemo emulator
 

if u get new car do you say i have no petrol now what do i do, or do you use your own intuition and look for what you need?

Re: Nintendo 64 n900 , nintendo 64 maemo emulator
 

Let's say I have a WaveRace64 cartridge sitting in my desk drawer (which is actually true, my favourite N64 game!) - am I breaking any laws by downloading an image of that cartridge for use in a N64 emulator? I'd be surprised if I am.

I'm allowed to rip my own CDs to MP3... if I were to download the ripped MP3 of a CD that I already own, what difference is there (other than the fact I haven't had to bother doing the rip in the first place)?

Re: Nintendo 64 n900 , nintendo 64 maemo emulator
 

if this is true and it works flawless this will be epic i would so be playing super mario kart 64 as soon as i sit next to a iphone user on the train like take that!!!

Re: Nintendo 64 n900 , nintendo 64 maemo emulator
 

you can always wait till some original game cartridges fall from the sky (hopefully on a soft surface), then you're legally allowed to use a rom of those games :)
or maybe some cousin was going to throw away some 100 game cartridges and gave them to you instead... ^^

once you're in possess of these prerequisites, you can download a rom of those games from one of the many sites specialized on that (just google).
If I'm not wrong, you can download roms even without possessing the game, but should delete them after an evaluation period of 24 hours.. (not sure though)

Re: Nintendo 64 n900 , nintendo 64 maemo emulator
 

I love how you use an over simplification to sum my question up in such an unnecessary generalization... but as I said or asked rather why is it so openly talked about - but once i actually asked a few ppl where to go or where they went to get them the thread was shut down:mad:

If thats the case then they should shut down all of these threads because its only implying that you need to "blank" since you should only use the the system to play its respective games not use an emulator for anything...

and when I bought my car the guy actually gave me money to get gas to put in it to it, to go back home ( i could find it but he did tell me where it was cheaper - hence the the help ) but it could have been because i'm in the service and he was retired serviceman as well so the comradery was genuinely strong.. he didnt tell me to "go search for your self!" in some back alleys some where...


unlike the folks in these threads ( not all but a lot ) are very negative, this is a place to seek help by asking knowledgeable ppl and share ideas and such, I've combed through endless threads for things before with little luck and some times ran across NICE members and they helped me out a lot but I pray for the new guys the N900 is gona usher in... this place is gona have them running "like they're on fire" back to the iphone or what ever main stream freindly phone they had because of the nasty @$$ ppl here:mad:

Re: Nintendo 64 n900 , nintendo 64 maemo emulator
 

@jalladin

It is not a matter of the mean people not wanting to help you.

The downloading of ROMs is not exactly legal, and expressly telling you how to get them could make a person culpable (I am not sure of the exact details of the law).

These are things that can be googled, and that is much safer than asking somebody here to tell you.

Re: Nintendo 64 n900 , nintendo 64 maemo emulator
 

its not openly talked about b/c its illegal unless you own a real copy of the game, this site does not encourage piracy.
its pretty easy to find millions of games online but maemo.org is not in the business of encouraging law breaking so wont ever show people where.
sorry if earlier comment sounded harsh but i thought question was obvious

Re: Nintendo 64 n900 , nintendo 64 maemo emulator
 

Thanks Jay!


No worries NvyUs, I'm over it... lesson learned

Re: Nintendo 64 n900 , nintendo 64 maemo emulator
 

Can anyone confirm this works? Fancy making a vid? (I would if I had one)

edit - Oh God, didnt read the full thread. Wonder what the chances are of getting this to work. This would be so so good.

Re: Nintendo 64 n900 , nintendo 64 maemo emulator
 

Is the author on this forum? If not where did you find it/do you have his email address we could ask him very very nicely to compile it for the N900 using OpenGL ES

Re: Nintendo 64 n900 , nintendo 64 maemo emulator
 

A thread for a mupen64 port already exists, the file attached on the first post contains two incomplete source tarballs of a pandora in progress project, and also the usual frowned upon "where do I get my ROMs?" discussion. I say close the thread.

This project is a Pandora one and thus first videos will feature a Pandora, unless someone here is up to the task. Hint: it's not a simple recompile but not rocket science either.

Re: Nintendo 64 n900 , nintendo 64 maemo emulator
 

javispedro i am from zaragoza ,are you spanish?? speak and write spanish??

yes it is pandora proyect , in theory recompile it, and rewritten code buff is difficult yes, i think that it was a n64 emulator but i can see that only is a pandora proyect that could run in maemo , any person try ?

Re: Nintendo 64 n900 , nintendo 64 maemo emulator
 

Of course.

But if you plan to PM and it's a request be sure to attach a hefty amount of money. Joking ;)

Re: Nintendo 64 n900 , nintendo 64 maemo emulator
 

Note that this will run ??% slower than pandora (oc'd @ 850mhz). Currently with sound off they get ~20 fps in a couple of games. Early tests implicate game GL renderer / opengl ES 2.0 / powrevr SGX as bottleneck, so ultimately ~20fps may be doable with sound if they can optimize that.

On the other hand maybe not - sound is a beatch, and they have no working frameskip yet afaik. Great work so far by ari64, pickle and team.

Re: Nintendo 64 n900 , nintendo 64 maemo emulator
 

cant wait to play mario again ;)

Re: Nintendo 64 n900 , nintendo 64 maemo emulator
 

for all... The pandora one optimized for the gpu and neon is running pretty much full speed on the pandora with no sound. http://bit.ly/Qigzp (posting from my phone so its a shortened gravity (twitter url) that goes to the youtube link.

Re: Nintendo 64 n900 , nintendo 64 maemo emulator
 

any news on this?? N64 emu would be sweeet

Re: Nintendo 64 n900 , nintendo 64 maemo emulator
 

Making an emulator for a thing isn't against the law because it doesn't use any code copyrighted by the owners of the thing being emulated.

As soon as you bring in roms for lets say.. super mario.. then you're talking about breaking copyright laws.

There are certain emulators for the GBA (see: Gameboid on Android) that require you to get the bios (copyrighted code) from other sources, if they were provided, the emulator's author would be overstepping his boundaries.

But if you just code a program that is capable of playing certain files, files that can be perfectly legitimate (maybe someone created a game for the gba themselves and want to play it on their computer), without using any copyrighted code then you're in the clear.

Hope this cleared up any concerns/questions you may have had.

Re: Nintendo 64 n900 , nintendo 64 maemo emulator
 

Any news on this?
________
TEEN EUROPEAN

Re: Nintendo 64 n900 , nintendo 64 maemo emulator
 

Yeah, any news?

Re: Nintendo 64 n900 , nintendo 64 maemo emulator
 

I am also interested.. I would be happy to test this if someone's willing to develop it/optify it for Maemo! :D

Did we make a Project garage for this on maemo.org? Or not yet?

Re: Nintendo 64 n900 , nintendo 64 maemo emulator
 

cant see this happening anytime soon

Re: Nintendo 64 n900 , nintendo 64 maemo emulator
 

I don't see why though, there's already a link for a working one in the OP, but it needs a bit of optifying and tweaking to make it work on the N900 I think.. I wish I knew how to code I would take on the project! :(

Re: Nintendo 64 n900 , nintendo 64 maemo emulator
 

I hope that this project get's some progress soon :) If we can help somehow just write it here.

Re: Nintendo 64 n900 , nintendo 64 maemo emulator
 

ye would be an awesome boost to the n900 to be able to emulate n64 games any help let us know

Re: Nintendo 64 n900 , nintendo 64 maemo emulator
 

Yeah! I can do some nice icons in Photoshop! :) And I will test the program extensively.. :D I am sure others will test it too and even help out.. but we just need someone who can code to take on the project! Come on.. I know you guys like the N64 games, Super Smash Bros., Mario Kart 64, Mario 64!!! :D :D :D

Hmm
 

I might do it even though I don't own an N900. I almost bought an N810 but then I spent the money I reserved for that on a Verizon HTC Vogue phone... If there was something else in it for me (i.e. if I had a N900 or if I was getting paid :P) you would probably be playing Mario Kart 64 on your phones by now. One thing that could delay or prevent me from doing it is the packaging situation. I've compiled and run Mupen64Plus for both an IPAQ and my phone (with Mario 64 running at 5FPS due to the 400MHz CPU and lack of 3D drivers in Debian for my phone, and the iPAQ is even slower), so porting it might not be hard for me, but at this point I'm lacking motivation and packaging skill (building the deb, distributing it, and dealing with all the support requests involved)... The other thing I'm not sure about is hardware - an N900 emulator would be really slow, and I have no hardware to test it on.

Re: Nintendo 64 n900 , nintendo 64 maemo emulator
 

hi can u tell me wat software i need for d rar file and where do i download it thanks

Re: Nintendo 64 n900 , nintendo 64 maemo emulator
 

wow... it's sad to see the n64 emulation is only evolving on the psp pretty well...

but there most of the roms are running quite nicely... and this although it only has a 333MHz CPU and 166MHz GPU.

some of the first games like super mario 64 and mario kart are running mostly fine even with sound (!!!).

so it should be possible (in order to the n900's hardware) to have a 100% working emulator on this phone.

unfortunately no developer seems to care about this one. :/

it was and is one of my favorite gaming consoles. so i would love to see any progress on this project! :)

Re: Nintendo 64 n900 , nintendo 64 maemo emulator
 

That's not the issue, it will likely not be as simple as someone building it and packaging it up. It will take some serious work to optimize it for any platform.

Have a read through this Pandora forum thread, they are putting a lot of effort in to get it running. Once/If they manage to get it running well over there, then there is a good chance we might be able to wrap it up in a Maemo bow and run it on our systems.

As has been said many times on here, it's likely a lot of the gaming side of things will come from the Pandora hackers, its a very similar platform to ours and we should have some good back and forth from them and us.
