All solved and work as expected after modifying mupen64plus.cfg from:
# Controller configuration mode: 0=Fully Manual, 1=Auto with named SDL Device, 2=Fully automatic
mode = 2

to:
# Controller configuration mode: 0=Fully Manual, 1=Auto with named SDL Device, 2=Fully automatic
mode = 1

I have done my own mapping, at the end:

@bluedevil9754 said in Errors are logged to /dev/shm/runcommand.log after selecting default emulator:

Any leads into what I might be missing?

Yes, a couple

The N64 emulator is installed from within the RetroPie-Setup script, not with the procedure you described. The Errors are logged to ... message is a generic runcommand information message and doesn't mean an error has occurred, but in the event of an error, this is where it would be logged.

RetroPie setup already sets up one of the N64 Emulators ( I think Mupen64 ), so you don't have to install anything, especially macOS binaries that don't run on a RetroPie. Make sure your ROM is valid and try removing any game resolutions you've set, it seems the problem is from your TV not accepting the resolution you set.

Thanks. I will check tonight. I think , I will just start from the beginning with Ubuntu anyway if that is more stable

@mitu Thank you for your response. However, I had already checked the documentation and didn't find the options I was looking for. They weren't in the config file either. I could disable the blur for everything, but I only want to disable it for 2D textures. And the other option, regarding the black margins, was nowhere to be found either.

@AdamBeGood said in How to Install Previous Version of mupen64plus to get Super Mario Star Road working:

Mystical Ninja Starring Goeman excepted.

What is the issue with this game? Is it just slow or other issues?

@mitu Alright, thank you for your help!

This was unrelated to Stretch and has today been fixed in RetroPie-Setup.

@baviaannl __Mupen64Plus __ is a standalone emulator, so it's not getting its settings from RetroArch, you can try lr-mupen64plus (which is a Libretro emulator) and see if it works.
For standalone emulators, just like for libretro emulators, ES will try and generate an input configuration file when you register your input. If you modified it in-game, then you can edit/reset it as described in https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Nintendo-64/

@geekomaniac Looks like an upstream bug. I suppose you don't have a x86_64 cross-compiler installed ?

@mitu

i've tried that already with no luck
the resolution within the black bar will change, but it wont show the full screen

the smaller Res i go, the more the image gets cut out within the black bars (kind of like enlarging an image, or zooming in with your phone by using two fingers)
and the highest Res it will go (1920x1080 at 60hz) will not display the entire image

I've also noticed a problem with blending while I was helping to troubleshoot recent issues with missing textures, but I wasn't certain that the blending issue was an existing problem or something new, as I rarely test N64 emulation.

Legacy blending is disabled for certain games - including Zelda - here: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/blob/master/scriptmodules/emulators/mupen64plus/mupen64plus.sh#L201

If you're familiar with editing files via SSH, you can edit /opt/retropie/emulators/mupen64plus/bin/mupen64plus.sh and try removing zelda from that blacklist to see if the problem is resolved. I'll take a look when I have some free time.

Yep, same problem here. Just updated mupen64plus from binaries, no changes. Crashes everyone when trying to load a state... Saving states works though, can see the files in the folder being created, also they have the current timestamp.
Using mupen64plus-gles2n64 btw.
€dit: Loading the savegame seems to work when i'm editing /opt/retropie/configs/all/autoconf.cfg , changing
mupen64plus_audio = "1"
to
mupen64plus_audio = "0"
This though leads to no sound anymore, loading the savegame with the same key combination though works then...

The input configuration for Mupen64Plus is kept separate - this is documented at https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Nintendo-64/. Look for the sample configurations, there is one even for the N64 usb controller.
