[Announce] Nintendo 64 Emulator for Harmattan/Sailfish

Hey, is anybody interested in mupen64plus for N9/Jolla? Here you will find packages for both devices!

I've made a small demovideo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xi2-kxhD3ps
and for the jolla phone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lX2PrHDWzdo

mupen64plus for the Jolla Phone

Code:

here is an rpm including all the necessary modules

https://openrepos.net/content/krnlyn...or-mupen64plus

to run a rom startup the terminal and run mupen64plus like so:

$ mupen64plus /path/to/rom

(old) mupen64plus for the N9

Code:

You need extract the files included in this zip to your phone and install all the included packages:

UPDATE: for users who are using a version from before 28.2.2013: i've forgotten the mupen64plus data files in earlier versions. they are included now, please update (mupen64plus-core) before you play because when you update you will loose your savegames. (This wont happen in future updates if you update now). No worries, if you have played very much you can contact me and i can give you the instructions howto keep your savegames (but it's not worth implementing an automatic function for that).



Now you can launch roms by running

$ mupen64plus /path/to/rom

from the command line.



GUI (optional):

simple, at the moment very basic and ugly gui only for inexperienced users who don't want to run mupen64plus from the command line:

ATTENTION: this will only work if you place your roms into the folder n64roms (needs to be created) directly on your device (=/home/user/MyDocs/n64roms/).

I don't have much spare time, so if anyone would be interessted in taking over the GUI part i would really appreciate that. I will help where i can. There are already existing QT GUIs like cutemupen, i think that would be a good starting point. 



SOURCE: once i've cleaned this up i'll host it on github or bitbucket or so: http://www.mediafire.com/?117wbcld78lyrio

Re: mupen64plus for n9

I'm not a dev so I can't help with this but this is very exciting to see

Re: mupen64plus for n9

Hey! i missed this thread! can you please tell us more about the project state? what button layout are you implementing? emu come with all this features: fskip, hardware/software filters, savegame states etc? do you have a GUI?

Re: mupen64plus for n9

lol @ your username...

great to finally see a n64 running on harmattan!

you can see how i impemented the buttons in my video, i'll probably make that configurable though

Re: mupen64plus for n9

I *REALLY* like your idea of custom button configurations for some games, but we need a generic layout too for the rest of the games. i kinda see you mapped C-buttons into top right screen (ocarina) but can't see anything more, maybe because of transparencies. Did you check this? i like the grey ones.

And about the GUI, well is there any way to tweak the emu ingame? without typing variables in command line at start up, like tweak the frameskip without close the game?

i am about to upload test packages. i haven't implemented many extra features like you mentioned, i'll do that at a later time, for now i'd like get some test results as soon as possible. the emulator should already be very stable though.

Re: mupen64plus for n9 [test packages]

i've uploaded some test packages, i'd really appreciate some feedback. more features will be added soon

Re: mupen64plus for n9 [test packages]

Just tested and it worked quite well. Managed to load the games (no crashes) but they didnt work at fullspeed.

Also the controls could be somewhere to be seen because throu little gaming it was annoying to search the right buttons.

Great job so far
