Mupen64 - N64 Emulator running

Hawanna · February 12, 2019, 9:49pm

Hey folks,

I finally got it to work. Mupen64 is running on my GameShell. Pretty decent performance as far as I could test. Have to map controls next and test some graphic tweaks/plugins. Have a quick look at this handsome yellow GameShell running my favorite game of all time.

Tutorial will follow soon - I’m going to get some sleep now… But I was so excited to share

The Emulator is not running within RetroArch. I’m thinking about a submenu-style installation from within the GS Launcher with automatic Rom Images and game loading. Imagine how nice it would be just to place some roms on the device and getting a neat icon and launch-script automatically deployed.

Thanks for your taking the time to research how to make this emulator to work. Did you actually need to compile it yourself or did you just download the binaries from some repository? In case you compiled it, could you upload the files to a GitHub repository?

Although I don’t understand the last paragraph very well. Why would we need an icon to install the emulator? The only thing we would need once is installed, and this is why it would be important to know the procedure and then simplify its installation with a bash script, is an icon to open the roms in mupen64 from the launcher. And I must say, this last thing is fair easy to do, so it would be a good a idea to also include that procedure in the installation bash script.

Hey there,

Yes, I had to build it from source - pretty straight process, if you want to look at that on your own.
I still have to sort things out, since I installed a lot of plugins / ui that wasn’t even required. Currently using the console interface for passing DISPLAY and stuff to get things working (see video).
Nah, that happens when I try to be an English person when its late . I didn’t mean to install the Emulator via “Icon” but having a routine automatically crawling all N64 roms placed on the device and creating menu entries/start scripts for the Emulator to achieve a “Click’n’Play” experience. I personally don’t like using RetroArch that much.

tl;dr: Launcher for Roms on the Emulator, not the Installation/Emulator itself.

Mmh…I’ll try to compile it myself this afternoon since yesterday I didn’t have time at all. I think what you’re talking about is a pretty straight proccess, just to create a folder and action.config file for the emulator within the Menu folder of the launcher and another folder in ~/apps/games/{emulator} to put the roms there. Then it could be possible to open the roms directly from the menu.

It defenitely is, but also has to be written down/done. Just sayin‘ that I wanted to achieve that too

Still having problems regarding z-buffer - have to fiddle around with plugins, but I fiddled a script that downloaded and compiled successfully.

Thanks. I compiled everything and I get sound but not video at all. I even tried with the same rom as you and I don’t see anything a part from a black screen when I open the rom.

This is the output I get from the command:

I had the same results as @doodom. I installed the game into /home/cpi/Nintendo64/ according to GameShell standards, but adjusted the command to the new address. My output did differ slightly:

Hawanna · February 14, 2019, 7:13am

Okay, I‘ll dig into that later today.

Did all the dependencies install correctly?

doodom · February 14, 2019, 2:44pm

No problems at all on installing the dependencies, at least the ones from the apt repository.

Although I must say I saw a few errors when compiling one of the libraries, and I’m talking about errors, not warnings (mupen64plus-rsp-hle, mupen64plus-rsp-cxd4, mupen64plus-rsp-z64… not sure about it, i’ll check it today again). Everything happened so fast that I couldn’t scroll to the top to review the output from the make command because the lines exceeded the buffer of the terminal.

Could be related… or not. Maybe you had already installed a deb package that we haven’t and that could be the cause of the problem compiling. In fact I think the script should check that the last make command did its work successfully (exit code = 0) or throw an error and stop if something unexpected happens.

Hawanna · February 14, 2019, 4:39pm

Jep, I agree about that script - just didn’t want you to wait for my attempts before creating a complete installation script.

lasvegas · February 14, 2019, 5:03pm

I ran the script again, directing the output to a log file. That left just the Warnings and Errors output to the console.

mupen64.log
mupen64.errors

doodom · February 14, 2019, 10:49pm

I managed to make it work. The script has a few errors. In the following block:

echo "------------------------------------------------------------"
echo "--- Building rsp-hle ---"
echo "------------------------------------------------------------"
cd ../../mupen64plus-rsp-hle/projects/unix
make NEON=1 VFP_HARD=1 USE_GLES=1 all
sudo NEON=1 VFP_HARD=1 USE_GLES=1 make install

… should be…

echo "------------------------------------------------------------"
echo "--- Building rsp-hle ---"
echo "------------------------------------------------------------"
cd ../../../mupen64plus-rsp-hle/projects/unix
sudo make NEON=1 VFP_HARD=1 USE_GLES=1 all
sudo NEON=1 VFP_HARD=1 USE_GLES=1 make install

The relative path was incorrect (it was missing a ../). It was also needed to use sudo on the first make, otherwise it was going to throw a permission error.

I also installed the libsamplerate0-dev and libspeexdsp-dev development libraries because the compiler was whining about not having those when uninstalling de audio plugin (I uninstalled it before downloading and compiling it again from scratch):

apt install libsamplerate0-dev libspeexdsp-dev

The only plugin I could not compile and install was mupen64plus-rsp-cxd4 but I don’t know if it’s actually needed. This is what I get when I tried to compile it:

What I know is that at least in my case the emulation is choppy and laggy as hell, almost unplayable at all. I also detected the screen becomes black if I don’t press any button for a while, even when it shoudn’t because of the plan energy. The only thing I can do when that happens is to reboot.

Here you can see how bad performs this emulator in my case:

It’s clear that I’m missing something or that plugin I couldn’t install is more important that it seems. I tried both with Fbturbo and Lima graphic drivers without any difference at all on the performance.

@Hawanna Could please install checkinstall, generate a .deb package from every source you have already compiled and upload them somewhere in order to let me and other people try your binaries?

To install checkinstall:

apt install checkinstall

Then do this after make install to generate a .deb package inside the ./projects/unix folder of every source folder.

sudo NEON=1 VFP_HARD=1 USE_GLES=1 checkinstall

Finally please remember to rename the packages to something relatable (for example, you could rename unix_20190215-1_armhf.deb to mupen64plus-core_gameshell_20190215-1_armhf.deb in the case of the source code of the core). This way I won’t be able to fix my problem but at least we will have functional binaries to upload them to a git repository.

The final objective is to make an installation script that installs the deb packages, the configuration file and creates an option in the launcher for this emulator. I already made this last thing and it works perfectly, I even created an icon for it.

I made the changes you suggested. Still no-go. Just the audio.

doodom · February 14, 2019, 11:50pm

Do you have your console launcher and debian packages up to date? I updated the debian OS of the GameShell a few days ago via $ apt update && apt upgrade and that could cause different results depending of the versions of the libraries we have installed.

lasvegas · February 15, 2019, 12:13am

Okay… Did the update and upgrade, but still no video.

doodom · February 15, 2019, 12:24am

Sorry to hear that. Maybe tomorrow Hawanna will share his compiled deb packages.

I will share mine anyways (I’m in bed right now) so you can try if it does a difference for you. It’s not as perfect in performance as it should but at least there is video output.

I know I’ll eventually get it up and running. Until then I’ve taken the liberty to create the icons and script for it. The first icon will go into the folder /home/cpi/apps/Menu/Mupin64:

Mupin64

Then into a subfolder Banjo-Kazooie:

Banjo-Kazooie

…with the script Banjo-Kazooie.sh containing:

mupen64plus --fullscreen /home/cpi/games/Nintendo64/Banjo-Kazooie\ \(U\)\ \[\!\].z64

doodom · February 15, 2019, 6:20am

This is the icon I made (I asked for a pull request to this repository but still no news from the creator):

It’s more alike to the default icons so yours look better and more colorful. I guess it’s a matter of personal preference.

I also created an action.config file inside /home/cpi/launcher/Menu/GameShell/20_Retro\ Games/N64 and put the roms in /home/cpi/games/N64 so it scans the z64 files in that folder and shows them in a list.

When we have it working we could upload everything to a repository and make a pull request for that emulator to be included by default in the launcher, just as it already happens with Pcsx (which is an external git repo that its actually added as a submodule inside the launcher repo).

Hawanna · February 15, 2019, 8:33am

Well I don’t see you passing export DISPLAY=:0; to mupen64plus before starting. Did you configure something else to skip that?
