[Mupen64Plus] Rice Video plugin is missing

sepp86

Hello,
I want to use the Rice Video plugin for certain N64 games but when I start a N64 game and press the button to select the emulator it is missing, thus can´t be selected. (Glide64Mk2 and GLideN64 are available)

My setup is:
Retrope 4.5.1 (Installed / build from GitHub)
Ubuntu 18.04
Intel Celeron J3455

I tried to install mupen64plus-video-rice from GitHub (https://github.com/mupen64plus/mupen64plus-video-rice) but installation always fails:

~$ git clone https://github.com/mupen64plus/mupen64plus-video-rice.git
~$ cd mupen64plus-video-rice/projects/unix
~/mupen64plus-video-rice/projects/unix$ make all
Makefile:259: ***Mupen64Plus API header files not found! Use makefile parameter APIDIR to force a location

Could somebody tell me how I can install Rice Video plugin and use in with Retropie?

The Rice Video plugin is not enabled for PC installs, it's only used for the RPI (and Vero4k) systems/platforms. Is there a reason you'd like to use it instead of the Glide video plugins ?

I want to install it mainly for texture dumping and for performance reasons.

Glide64Mk2 works good but 16:9 mode only stretches the picture in games.
In GLideN64 adjust to 16:9 works good but emulation has some hiccups and comes to a crawl when vsync is on

Besides I can´ t get either of those two to dump any textures no matter what I set in the mupen config file (texture dumping was set to True and I also tried different folder paths)

In Rice the texture dumping feature should work, at least on my Android with Mupen64Plus FZ it works.

You can take a look at how the Mupen64Plus plugins are built here to build and install the Rice plugin from source on your PC.

@sepp86 said in [Mupen64Plus] Rice Video plugin is missing:

Makefile:259: ***Mupen64Plus API header files not found! Use makefile parameter APIDIR to force a location

So you need to find API header directory and run:

makefile install LIBDIR=/opt/retropie/emulators/mupen64plus/lib/mupen64plus SHAREDIR=/opt/retropie/emulators/mupen64plus/share/mupen64plus APIDIR=<API header directory>

if your directories are diffierernt change them (LIBDIR and SHAREDIR), but i dont know where API header directory is, so try to find it.
horever i dont know that it will even work.

@mitu you had helped me before and it was useful to me! in this case, what exactly must be modified to install glide64mk2 on rpi 3? I tested it in a batocera installation and it works very well, I would like to have it in Retropie.
