Mupen doesnt run on my machine! Please help me!

[Sri Narayan]

go to nvidia.com

-> download dríver selection it's a *.run file

 

[Neutrinus]

in the dnload page there are 3 linux:
linux IA32
linux AMD64
linux IA64.
what of the three is the good one for me? (whoa the rhime )

 

[Hacktarux]

IA32

Your error when you compile mupen64 is a known error with some gcc version that's easy to fix : open main/gui_gtk/main_gtk.c
Go at the line where there's the error (~1550).
You should see this line : int scanargs = 1;
move the line at the beginning of the main function, it should look like:
int
main( int argc, char *argv[] )
{
int scanargs = 1;
int i;
....

This error will be fixed in the next mupen64 version

good fix it now i try the edit

 

[Neutrinus]

did it! now i try to compile...
YIPPY!!! SUCCESS! and now what?
ok i compiled the sound and imput plugins. but i cant compile rsp_hle...it gives me another error(&@#%!!!):
ucode3.c: In function `INTERLEAVE':
ucode3.c:426: parse error before `unsigned'
ucode3.c:428: `i' undeclared (first use in this function)
ucode3.c:428: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
ucode3.c:428: for each function it appears in.)
make: *** [ucode3.o] Error 1

 

[Hacktarux]

Compile the plugins and copy them to the plugins/ subfolder and it should work

 

[Hacktarux]

That's the same error, move "unsigned int i;" at the beginning of the INTERLEAVE function.

help

 

[Neutrinus]

that's the error part:

static void INTERLEAVE(void)
{
unsigned long inL = (inst2 >> 16)/2;
unsigned long inR = (inst2 & 0xFFFF)/2;
unsigned long out = (inst1 & 0xFFFF)/2;
unsigned long len = ((inst1>>16)&255)*16;
if (!len) len = d.buf_len;
unsigned int i; //line 426

for (i=0; i<len/2; i++) //line 428

 

[Hacktarux]

Read what i wrote, it's the same error you fix in mupen64, you should move "unsigned int i;" at the beginning of the function, it should look like:
static void INTERLEAVE(void)
{
unsigned int i;
unsigned long inL = (inst2 >> 16)/2;

 

[Neutrinus]

ok i have compiled the input,sound,hle_rsp and tr64gl...i can emulate something now? the work is finished?

 

[Hacktarux]

Yes if you have placed all plugins in plugins/ folder it should work... Later you may want to compile some other plugins.

If it's running at ~1fps, it means that you have not installed correctly your 3d accelerated drivers.

 

[Neutrinus]

ok... another prob. the emulation window is black when i load a game, and remains black. what can i do?

second prob. the installer of the driver for my nvidia tnt2 gives this error
bash: /mnt/discD/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run: bad interpreter: Permission denied
even if i run as root.

 

[Hacktarux]

i don't know for the nvidia driver problem, look at their help....
Make sure you don't have any sound application running at the same time when you run mupen64, it requires exclusive access to the sound card device file.

run "chmod +x /mnt/discD/NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-5336-pkg1.run"

 

[Neutrinus]

ok i solved that error anyway but the installer exits, telling me that he dont like X. how i can go temporary in line mode stopping X?
(with temporary i say that i want x to start at the reboot)

 

[Neutrinus]

i want to install the driver becouse mupen act strange: i start a game, and the emulating window remains black, and stay black...

Type

$ init 3

and when you want back to graphical mode type

$ init 5

 

[Neutrinus]

Type

$ init 3

and when you want back to graphical mode type

$ init 5

$ init 3 (with spaces) gives "command not found". without spaces doesnt do nothing

bhuhuuuu...

 

[Neutrinus]

Did It! I installed the nvidia driver modified the x64thing, but nothing happens in mupen. same desolated black. help me...
P.S. for people having my same probs, the command for switching in line-mode il telinit 3
and the one for returning in X is telinit 5.
