problem with input plugins [linux]

[antipop]

i tried blights:
i can configure it, but controller is not recognized by games..
if there is no controler-message by the game, it just doesnt work
0.0.8 is my version. i also changes permissions on all the .so plugin
files and on the config file in the main mupen folder, no success at all

i tried the standart input plugin:
cant configure it. in the game it works, but i cant find all the keys,
only very few. anyone know where the keys are ?
(i am not able to recombile it myself from source, im a beginner!)

i dont get any error messages by mupen itself. sound and video work great, i got these problems with every rom i tried.

i hope someone van help me :/

You're using a joystick ? Does it recognize the inputs of your joystick in the configuration dialog ?

EDIT : also, make sure you enable the "plugged" button, and maybe you could disable the "mouse" button. Also it's a good idea to enable the "mempack" button.

i use a standart keyboard..

my distro is ubuntu (if this matters)

please go on with helping me, n64 rocks, and it works so nice and smooth but i wanna control it too

edit: device = keyboard
mempack is enabled
mouse is disabled

Ok, so your controller is the keyboard. I'm not completely sure , but I think keyboard control doesn't work during the game in mupen64, it's not difficult to fix but you need the source code of mupen64.

I'm afraid you'll need to learn how to compile a program now

You need to install the required -dev packages in order to compile the emu and its plugins

So...
when you do it... read the files: README and INSTALL
n lastly... be happy

good luck

Basically once you get the source code, right click the file you downloaded and click Extract here... which extracts those files into a folder in the directory you are at. Go into that foler and right click a blank spot in the window and click open in terminal. Once that is done, all you must do is type:

./configure (wait till all the text stops scrolling down) then type:
make then type:
su (asks you for password, type it and press enter) then type:
make install (and hopefully all goes well.)

Personally I have only successfully compiled and installed about 3 things this way, I hate it so much.
