linemu's LIST 'O COMPATIBILITY

I've decided to write a list of games and their compatibility, errors etc.
I have a geforce3, use SuSE linux 8.1, and I use the glnintendo64 plugin for linux.

PLAYABLE GAMES>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

MARIO64---------------------------------------
Excellent!! Graphics, sound, and speed work well. not to much room for improvement here.
--------------------------------------------------------------------


STARFOX64--------------------------------------
pretty good. Excellent speed and graphics.....but NO SOUND. I guess it doesn't have support for its audio ucode.
-------------------------------------------------------------------


MARIOKART64-------------------------------------
pretty good. Excellent speed and graphics......but NO SOUND. Same problem as starfox.
----------------------------------------------------------------

HARVEST MOON 64----------------------------------
very good. Sound, speed, and graphics are good. A few graphics glitches but not much. GOOD JOB.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

OCARINA OF TIME------------------------------------
GOOD! sound and graphics are good, speed is slightly slow at a few places (i.e desert collosus),and there are a few graphics glitches, but OCARINA OF TIME ON LINUX!! Its just too cool.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

MAJORAS MASK---------------------------------------
Good! Works about the same as oot (though the game itself isn't quite as good).
---------------------------------------------------------------------

MARIO PARTY-----------------------------------------------
PARTY ON! speed and sound are good, graphics are basically good, but it has this annoying flashing graphics error. I hope this error is fixed. (I love the game)
--------------------------------------------------------------------

BANJO KAZOOIE-----------------------------------------------
AWESOME! Graphics,speed, and sound are all there. Good game... Good compatability.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

SUPER SMASH BROTHERS-----------------------------------------
ALL RIGHT!! graphics , sound, and speed are good for the most part, although it slows down a bit playing multiplayer. Also when playing the Zebes level the framerate drops to .2, freezing up the plugin window.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

NOT-SO-PLAYABLE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

DR MARIO64--------------------------------------------------------
start screen and menus work fine. Sound and speed are fine. But the in-game graphics are completely garbled.
------------------------------------------------------------------

DIDDY KONG RACING--------------------------------------------
graphics only work with TR64 ogl plugin...but there is one major error. When you play the game, all you see of your go-kart is the wheels! No chassis, no driver. SPOOKY!
-----------------------------------------------------------------

DONKEY KONG64-------------------------------------------------
Boots up but does little else.
---------------------------------------------------------------

MARIO GOLF------------------------------------------------
Speed and graphics.... AWFUL!
----------------------------------------------------------

YOSHI STORY-----------------------------------------------
displays beginning animation and menus fine.... but in game graphics are garbled.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

bug reporting

linemu: you do not seem to understand that the plugins are made by other people who should be contacted for bug-reports - mupens core is pretty much complete afaik and maybe one of the best 3 n64 emu's out there!
if i did bug reporting like you do i would have to list every game because speed is slow cuz i have such a slow box...

I wasn't "bug reporting", I was merely trying to get the point across that n64 emulation for linux is there. Most people think that the only good n64 emulators are for windows. I am trying to dispell this MYTH (well at least now it's a myth). I understand that plugins are made by other people. I also wanted to hear if anyone else has gotten games besides the ones i listed to work.

No offense, but Mupen is not the best emulator.

I said mupen is a good emulator having already used many on windows. Mupens graphics, and compatibility are good even compared to many windows n64 emulators. Speed is improved and now mupen runs many games at decent framerates.
