Mupen64 - N64 Emulator running

#36

Hello my fellow GameShellers,

its been a while and I am very sorry for the delay and all the wait.
I packed the result of your script within a bundle behind this Nextcloud link.

Take your time and have a look at it. :slight_smile:

Will be more active now.

Edit:

I got rid of the alpha and depth problems. See video in the folder shared above (Footage). Sorry for the weird orientation^^. Config file also included (Banjo.cfg).
This just works with Banjo & Kazooie - not with Super Mario 64.

The config file also includes control settings. LightKeys required for trigger and shoulder buttons.

#37

if your deb file is ready for a release i could host him on gameshell alternative repo :sunflower:

i also writed a tiny guide about packaging

#38

That video is awesome, the game is running almost perfectly.

I canā€™t wait to play StarFox 64 on my GameShell <3

#39

I have some trouble finding the correct values for the Lightkeys to assign C-Left and C-Right.
KeyValues for Lightkey 1 and 5 work perfectly fine. I canā€™t access the others though.

Any advice?

#40

How would I need to adapt this to play Super Mario 64?

#41

You should try some different settings in the mupen config file to determine the settings to run the rom flawless. :slight_smile:

Edit: Btw welcome!

#42

Thank you, Iā€™ll start messing with it now!

#43

can you please share me the compilation parameters of the *.so ?
thanks~

#44

All steps done / executed scripts are written down in this thread already. :slight_smile:

#45

I got itļ¼Œthanksļ½ž
I donā€™t know why your *.so work perfectly, and my complied *.so very laggy.

#46

You can have a look at these .deb files I created from my installation:

#47

I am trying to run Mupen64 since it came installed on 0.4 but for some reason the roms are not loading i just get the loading screen then a black one and it goes back to the menu.

#48

Thanks for the thread OPā€¦
I got this working using the instructions you had in the OPā€¦ (using Clockwork image 0.3)

for people that only had audio like @doodom and @lasvegas ā€“ I think that if the screen is black (in sleep mode) when you run the command via ssh, then it wonā€™t ā€˜wake upā€™. Maybe thatā€™s the cause?

Banjo doesnā€™t seem to run very well though, even with the cfg you providedā€¦ Is it possible thereā€™s some other configuration that we should be looking at?

#49

Hello there,

I agree with the Sleep-Theory.

Everything I tried to get it running is written down right here.

#50

That makes sense. Iā€™m just thinking that there could be something different about your configuration prior to running those things.

Like have you maybe stopped any background processes or removed/replaced any system resources with some alternative?

EDIT: I also wanted to remind people to try using the ā€œPerformanceā€ power setting for the best results.

#51

Nope, nothing i can think of.

My OS (0.3) is just right out of the box without mayor customization besides the steps I described.

#52

Would it be possible to create the core of mupen64Plus to use it with retroarch?

#53

figured I would share this here.
if you have 0.4 and mupen is NOT working (which it doesnt out of the box)
what you have to do is use putty and edit /home/cpi/apps/Menu/20_Retro Games/80_mupen64+/action.config

and add ā€“plugindir /usr/local/lib/mupen64plus/

see below for ā€œinstructionā€

cd /home/cpi/apps/Menu/20_Retro Games/80_mupen64+/
nano action.config

**ALTER** the line ROM_SO=/home/cpi/apps/emulators/mupen64plus --gfx mupen64plus-video-rice --fullscreen
**TO READ** ROM_SO=/home/cpi/apps/emulators/mupen64plus --plugindir /usr/local/lib/mupen64plus/ --gfx mupen64plus-video-rice --fullscreen

I personally also modified the EXT= line to read EXT=n64,zip,z64 from EXT=z64 because I have some non compressed roms.

Thanks for that! I can confirm that this does indeed work; albeit running extremely slowly using the either the FBTurbo or Lima driver.

#55

I would suggest changing power profile to performance it does improve it with the hardware driver
