Rename the game file in something like "legend-of-zelda.z64"
with no space and don't forget to type the .z64 at the end of the command.

I'm a noob too and I made it with a lilltle help from this forum.
It's really not that hard.

But a GUI will probably come, it's just a matter of time, you'll have to wait until then. But if your impatient like me, just go ahead and try it!

Hello,

The problem is that you're not escaping the file name (brackets and spaces mean something different to the terminal). Probably the easiest thing to do is type the first few letters of the filename and then press tab (it's on the touchscreen in Maemo XTerm). This should automatically complete the filename with the required escaping (you will see backslashes before the spaces and brackets).

Hope this helps!

Try ./mupen64plus rather than just mupen64plus.
