      Hi all,

      I was tweaking around with the N64 emulators and I decied to update mupen64plus from source. The update seemd to go fine but now when I launch an N64 game, it no longer has the standalone mupen64plus as option. The offshutes still show up (like rice and gliden64) but trying to launch a game with them just boots me back to Retopie. Everything was working fine before I updated the emu from source. I've also tried removing it and reinstalling it from Binary, but it didn't fix it. lr-mupen64plus still works.

      Any ideas?

      Pi Model or other hardware: (B, B+, 2 B, 3, X86 PC etc..)
      Power Supply used: (If using a Pi)
      RetroPie Version Used: Pi4 8GB
      Built From: Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website
      USB Devices connected: one 512GB usb thumbdrive
      Controller used: 8Bitdo SF30Pro

      How to replicate the problem:

        After install the emulator (Binary) try to run this commands from terminal, i hope it works:

        cd RetroPie-Setup
sudo ./retropie_packages.sh mupen64plus configure

        My English isn't at a good level.

          there's no 'standalone' mupen64plus - it's always going to use a graphics plugin ("gliden64", for example). 'standalone' in the retropie sense just means it's not got the libretro/retroarch front end. eg, mupen64plus-gliden64 is 'standalone' vs 'lr-mupen64plus-next', which uses the libretro front end. all 'mupen64plus-*' emulators are 'standalone' by this definition.

          perhaps you're thinking of mupen64plus-auto, that would automatically select the best graphics plugin for the game in question? this isn't necessary for pi4, so isn't installed. just use mupen64plus-gliden64 (best video plugin for pi4)

          but trying to launch a game with them just boots me back to Retopie

          Please supply the runcommand.log for mupen64plus-gliden64, as per https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

            @dankcushions All I know is there used to be an option just called muper64plus and now there isn't. And every since I updated that core from source, mupen64plus-gliden64 now just kicks me back to Retropie when I try to run it.

              i can't remember the history of the naming but regardless of what is was called, it would have been running a graphics plugin, and given that -gliden64 is the best plugin for pi4, that's what you need to be getting working.

              And every since I updated that core from source, mupen64plus-gliden64 now just kicks me back to Retropie when I try to run it.

              right, so please provide the runcommand.log after that happens. instructions here https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

                I apologize, I'm not seeing where it shows how to find the runcommand.log. I also did a search on my Pi and didn't find any file called that. I did find a file in /opt/retropie.configs.n64/mupen64plus called glide64.log:

                    I apologize, I'm not seeing where it shows how to find the runcommand.log.

                    sorry, my bad, it's the "verbose log" link on the read-this-first.

                    here's the link: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Runcommand/#launch-with-verbose-logging

                    the important part:

                    Note: If launching a non-Libretro ("standalone") core, the option will not be available, but they typically will still write useful diagnostic information to /dev/shm/runcommand.log.

                    ie, run the game, get the crash, then download that file from that location.

                        @Ikyrus thanks. unfortunately that's not telling me anything other than it crashed :( it would need a debug build to find the cause. you didn't say what specific image filename you're using - the current official retropie v4.8 image?

                        i have no idea if there's issues with the current mp64 binaries and not in a position to test. you could try lr-mupen64plus-next which should be the next-best one to use.

                          @dankcushions Sorry, I'm using 4.8. I have been defaulting to lr-mupen64plus in the absence of the standalone. It works relatively ok. Is next better? I was under the impression it didn't work as well on the Pi because it has more accurate emulation which makes it run slower.

                            @Ikyrus i suppose it depends on your definition of 'better'. lr-mupen64plus has been abandoned for 4 years - it might run faster in some situations but there will be lot of old bugs and inaccuracies, and they will never be fixed.

                            mupen64plus-gliden64 and lr-mupen64plus-next have essentially the same underlying (currently updated) codebase.

                              It happens with all non lr emulators.

                                Can you try updating/re-installing the mupen64plus emulator now ? It seems there's a problem with the latest version, but updating from binary should install a previous version, which should work.

                                  @mitu I hate to bump an old topic but I'm also getting the same error no matter which version of mupen64plus I use:

                                  2024/05/17,14:16:01.948,opengl_Utils.cpp:60,WARNING, "Could not query EGL extensions on this device"

                                  I have removed mupen64plus from the build completely and just re-installed via the most recent update from the RetroPie-Setup script and that's the error I get everytime and it kicks me back to ES.

                                  I have tried all three mupen64plus options in runcommand and they all do the same.

                                  Any ideas?

                                  Thank you.

                                    @mitu I hate to bump an old topic but I'm also getting the same error no matter which version of mupen64plus I use:

                                    The 'same error' is just a generic message that the emulator has crashed and it's not caused by the same issue. In fact, you've already commended in the topic where the recent Mupen64plus breakage was reported - https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/35444. Bumping an old topic is just rude.
