I have an advancement..... by running as root I was able to get further along, but ran into an OpenGL problem...

i think this might be where we need to use the Glide64 video plugin for mupen, rather than opting for the Rice plugin by default

i seem to remember somewhere reading about it !!

EDIT: i changed the permissions on pretty much everything to do with mupen64plus to 0777 (bad habit, I know!) and am now at the stage where you're at (getting OpenGL errors)

I wonder if this is anything to do with the version of nvidia drivers I've got installed ?

smith, I am now rebuilding using the glide64 plugin I'll report back once done

i tried compiling the glide plugin but got the following error once i ran it using mupen ...

i think there's a note on that website suggesting that this build of Glide is for mupen v2.0. I wonder if there are known functions within 2.0 that are not available in 1.99.3 (hence it complaining)

my error codes using glide were different than yours
im getting an OpenGL error and an Audio error likely due to my /etc/asound.conf file

have you got read/write access to your roms directory ? that may be why its throwing memory pak errors at you. Other than that, you're still getting opengl errors ? but it then seems to skip past the errors and try to load the video anyway.

have you got a compiled version of glide.so that you could chuck on the web somewhere for us to download ?

cheers
ross

EDIT: what args are you using when loading this too ?

EDIT2: nm, i saw them at the top!

I think I messed some thing up big time installing several packages trying to get the build working. I keep getting that OpenGL error

-=Jason=-

I am one step closer... I had an OpenGL problems, xbmc wasn't loading it just booted to command line. I had to purge Nvidia then re-install now xbmc boots and my only error now is about a mouse....

-=Jason=-

im a bit reluctant to uninstall/reinstall nvidia drivers as im concerned it'll screw up my whole xbmc. annoying after its taken me so long to set it up!

i guess I could always backup my xorg and then reinstall it

Wow that new version seems a real pain in the a** to install.

I think some of the errors are caused because there is no x-server running. Try puting xinit in front of the command and don't try via ssh as it wont work.



cheers

Edit...Make sure you stop xbmc first

I realize this thread has been dead for about a month, but I just now started getting myself back into gear and getting my ROMs setup. I haven't gotten mupen64plus configured just yet, but I figured I'd ask the guys in this thread about the audio problems that they were running into in v1.5 that made them try to upgrade to the newest version.

In another thread, a few people mentioned that their mupen64plus sound problems went away when using a launcher.sh script which paused XBMC in the background while the emulator was up. This script actually saved me from a load of headache because now I can use my game controller to navigate in XBMC and use the same gamepad in an emulator without having it control XBMC in the background.

So: for you guys that are having audio problems, are you also running the script that pauses XBMC in the background, or not? Here's script in question:

http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=542...stcount=66

If you're not using this and you're wanting to try this, make sure and make the script executable (sudo chmod +x <your_path>/launcher.sh)

Well, I managed to hear the audio problems, but only when I used the "Glide Mupen64Plus plugin. With Rice's Video Plugin 1.5, the sound is perfectly fine. While playing F-Zero X, there were some visual quirks (textures flashing pink - distracting but not prohibitive). After changing almost every setting in /home/xbmc/.config/mupen64plus/RiceVideo.cfg, I finally figured out that the problme is the "EnableFog 1" setting. I changed this to "EnableFog 0" and the quirks went away. I have no idea how often fog is actually used in a game, but for F-Zero X, this fixed it up 100%.

Hi,
I only get sound issues when i use the "--nogui" argument. If i launch mupen64plus and start a game from there, sound works perfect. I have since moved away from running my emulators on linux and switched to Hyperspin for windows. I am in the process of building my arcade cabinet as well

cheers
