Help please! noob at emulators and need help

Hi everyone, im new here and just joined the emulator community.

Im using Mupen64Plus 0.3 and it runs fine, using OoT and have two problems.

1.I cant seem to get codes/gameshark activated ( Want white tunic )

2.i have an xbox 360 wired usb plugged in and when i first start Mupen i get an error saying "Cant find acces to (Y axis)"
and when i boot OoT it says (No Joystick/Controller found) error maybe not the exact words.

ive spent two days looking online for these answers and im a noob and dont quite understands Plug Ins/Codes.

Any help would make me so happy!

Edit: when i use Mupen64 2.0 and earlier versions my rom wonts start when i try and open it on the little beta/instruction screen. 0.3 is the only one thats worked for me

thanks you guys sorry i downloaded 3 different one, and one was a bundle. i just downloaded the link and the screenshot of the interface was a lot different than what i was using. But when im opening the mupen file to launch i get this error

ugh i hate that i cant \afford a new computer due to bills and crappy job. this mac was a hand me down. i have OoT on my wii downloaded and have beaten in many many times but im doing any% runs (if anyone is on the same page with me) and save states etc would be so helpful. not to mention gameshark codes when i feel like making a file to mess around on.

- - - Updated - - -

this is a nightmare. i look at the screenshots and it has every spec i need/want and of course it wont open. I just have absolutely no knowledge of these error codes to know any to fix things like this..



- - - Updated - - -

I deleted all my .plist files in my preference folder now everytime it open it just says it closed unexpectedly. why cant i just get this to work..
Right now im running wxMupen64Plus the interface has a pause start and stop button at the side t runs ocarina fine but doesnt recognize my controller and i cant activate any codes.


again im sorry but ive been googling for almost 3 days..

https://bitbucket.org/auria/wxmupen64plus/wiki/Home thats pretty much what version im using/worked but like i said cant get my 360 controller recognized and no way to use cheats. i hope i dont come off as a tool for wanting gameshark codes but after you beat a game 20x you want to see what other possibilites you can do with the game.

well looks like i have to wait for my tax return to get a new computer that is NOT a mac. right now wxMupen64Plus bundle which is working but it doesnt read my xbox 360 controller and i cant get the gameshark to trigger when i use the key i bind it too.

this sucks going to play master quest on my keyboard i guess..

if i could just get my xbox controller to work on the version im using id be happy. do i need to download a driver or anything?

also there is a gameshark keybind under shortcut keys but wont enable? i just dont understand i cant find a straight answer for enabling cheats and getting my controller connected to wxmp64

Input (warning) no joystick/controller found? i have a 360 wired controller plugged in usb

well good news and bad news.the joystick(o) recognized my controller when i config the buttons. except for now, when i boot Oot MQ or regular OoT i get an error saying controller 1 2 3 4 not found and of course my controller doesnt work when i start but the light is on and it reads it when i set up the buttons.

any suggestions ???

i feel like a jerk im sorry, Thanks you Moss. i clicked the link and then just saw the big command but i didnt know where to paste it. im just trying to learn more about all theses commands and such. im clueless and want to learn so i have somewhat of an idea of specific questions when trouble shooting emulators.

sorry that there is no structure because i dont know what i am doing. hence why i call myself a noob and go out of my way to do so and make this thread just to play a game that i love. i've never been called a troll, that's a first. didn't have to be rude i have no basic knowledge of these things besides download, unzip or exract, and install. all i was doing was asking for help


edit: i just now beat the forest temple and i am using a keyboard. trust me it sucks and i just got introduced to how commands in terminal work. its a learning process that i have just started for me.
