Mupen64plus emulator not working
-
My mupen64plus and lr-mupen64plus are both not working. I have Retropie v 3.8.1 on a raspberry pi 2 model B. please help me!
-
More details on what "not working" means would be helpful.
Do they launch at all?
Are there any errors displayed on screen?
Have you made any changes to the runcommand menu?
Have you modified any configuration files for lr or non lr Mupen64Plus? If so what have you changed?The default settings for both should at the very least launch the emulators.
-
The default settings do not launch it at all, and I have not changed a thing.
-
Ok is this the lr version of mupen? Changes to the lr core for one emulator could cause issues in another.
I am by no means an expert, I am working through my own issues with mupen64plus but I haven't encountered any issues with the emulators not launching at all before. When you say you haven't changed a thing do you mean with mupen itself or the entire retropie image (ex. this is a fresh write of the SD card with just a rom or two loaded)? If it is the latter then you can ignore my suggestion below.
Just for the sake of simplicity, if you backup your SD card and start with a fresh image of RetroPie with no changes from the stock image and load a ROM onto it does it work? This is how I begin my testing for issues when I am unsure exactly which one of my many changes has caused an issue.
Can you post your mupen64plus.cfg file?

I have tried to use both the sd image and the version over debian without changing a thing except for adding roms (I have 16 roms). Here is my Config file.

I am having a similar issue I have added the roms for N64 I can see them on the Pi when I use the FTP software to look through the directories, however the emulator isn't showing up at all. Any idea what I am missing? Currently running 3.8.1 on a Pi3.

@jefftheguyperson please format your post. See the compose help when editing.

Hey guys! Thanks for all the feedback, but I actually found the issue. It turns out you have to extract the roms to the folder for the emulator to work. Sadly, I figured this out after 4 months of searching through files for the problem.

@jefftheguyperson if your controller select and start buttons are 1 & 11 like you said your auto config says edit this line with your start and select buttons:
Joy Mapping Stop = "J0B1/B11Otherwise add the correct numbers and save. See if that helps. Otherwise delete everything inside that file then restart the emu and see if it works

@jefftheguyperson just FYI - I formatted your earlier post for you.
