N64 crashes after 10 min

dankcushions

@quicksilver neat! i do follow the gliden64 project but i'm not sure what change might have fixed that. i never really investigated it myself

quicksilver

@dankcushions yea I would be curious to know which commit may have fixed it otherwise its possible that a future change may revert it by accident. Problem is it could be anything over the last 8 months or so (probably the last time I updated mupen64plus). Coupled with the fact that it takes like 20 mins for the bug to show itself Im not sure where to start. Should we update the bug report on github?

dankcushions

sure, you can update it!

quicksilver

@dankcushions Awesome, thanks for the input! I will do that now!

Ranma

Thanks for posting this up as I would never have known otherwise. I've updated mine from source this morning and after a brief play it does indeed seem to be fixed. However I'll have a more extensive session tonight and see how it goes.

I've said it before and I'll say it again - it's a minor miracle that N64 runs at all on the Pi. The fact that it runs as well as it does is really absolutely amazing and I cannot thank the developers enough. Superb work imho.

Quick questions about updating from source here:

At what point do changes made to the source code pass into the binary update? Does it all come through on the next system update? Is there a way for a user to check when the updates made to source have been passed to the binary package? Many thanks.

dankcushions

@Ranma typically all core and additional binaries are updated when there's a new retropie image released. beyond that, it's whenever it's deemed worthwhile.

GLideN64 might report its version in the /dev/shm/runcommand.log - not sure!

Awesome! Thanks for the details. :-)

@BuZz would it be worth updating the mupen64plus binaries now as opposed to waiting for next retropie version release? The current binary has the nasty gliden64 crash bug.

@thelostsoul also worth noting that the current mupen64plus version from source seems to solve the Yoshi's story glitch issue when using gliden64.

@quicksilver I wasn't aware the crash bug was ever fixed? Got a reference?

quicksilver

@BuZz I don't think the bug was fixed intentionally. Unfortunately I don't know which commit inadvertently fixed the problem. I just happened to update from source around the beginning of January and the problem was solved. I have tested multiple games with gliden64 and left them running for several hours each and the crash issue is gone. I made a comment in this thread about it about a month ago. I also updated the GitHub issue tracker saying that the issue appeared to be fixed but I never got a response back there. Not sure if my word is enough to go on or someone with a little more clout needs to confirm.

@quicksilver
I have the same issue,
got to say i also tried it .
if i keep a game ruining it can go for hours , but if i really play(not let it just be on running on the screen) more then half an hour at glitch out....

quicksilver

@shavecat the issue is solved for me whether I am playing or just letting the game run by itself. I should mention the glitch occured around 20-30 mins of a game running whether you were playing or not didn't matter.

If you update mupen64plus from source the issue is resolved. Have you updated mupen64plus from source?

@quicksilver
OMG!?!
U kidding me right ?? ;)
will update now <3 !

@shavecat did you update retropie setup script first?

It's not building currently. Upstream issue with GlideN64 plugin due to

I'm going to temporarily lock RetroPie to the previous commit until this is resolved.
