I've added the full console command to the top of the log (I think this will be useful for users to check out what command Mupen64Plus-Qt is actually running in the background).

Download the development version here and look at what command it's running (and try running it on your own) to see if you can spot the issue:

If you can't find the issue, post the full log so I can look at it.

Hi,

I didn't have much time to test, I'll try to do it this week.
I had managed to launch using the new plugin but I had to delete the .ini file and other stuff, and I'm not sure what did the trick. I'll try to reproduce the problem again.

I have not managed to effectively reproduce the issue. I don't know why it happened before (it was not the first time). If it happens again, I will test.

Has anyone had an issue where the wrong game/box art gets downloaded? I'm on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and am using Mupen64plus-qt. The weird thing is that on my media center, this doesn't happen, but on my laptop I have an Ocarina of Time ROM with Majora's Mask box art. Any ideas on how to fix this? I already reinstalled the emulator twice using both Ubuntu Software Center and a sudo purge autoremove terminal command.

That issue was fixed with this commit (it's not in 1.9, but will be in the next version):
https://github.com/dh4/mupen64plus-qt/commit/d1e17b57b3f31f356ca99a8981832c48f919a473

TheGamesDB updated their search algorithm at some point and caused a search for "Legend of Zelda, The - Ocarina of Time" to show Majora's Mask as the first result for some reason.

I'd suggest clicking on the Ocarina of Time ROM and then going to File->Download Update Info. Enter in "Ocarina of Time" as the search term and click yes for the first result. Should show fine after that.

Presence, thank you so much for that. I can't believe it was that easy to fix. I guess that's the technicians curse at work, you always think of the more complex solutions first. Can I get you an Internet cookie? Internet soda? Internet beer perhaps?

Oh I absolutely make use of this awesome software. It's a shame it gets such a poor rating in the Ubuntu software center. I believe it deserves at least 4/5 stars. I'd give it 5/5 just for ease of use and brownie points for being on Linux.

I use Arch so I'd never looked on there at it, but it looks like it gets 4 stars from two 5 star reviews (doesn't make sense?). Thanks for adding a review on there.

Very promising GUI for Mupen64Plus.

Mupen64Plus-Qt utilizes the console UI to launch games. It contains support for most of the command line parameters. These can be viewed by running Mupen64Plus from a terminal with the --help parameter or here.

Why does it use the console UI? The idea is to use the Mupen64Plus library directly (the commandline UI is not intended to be used by a frontend).

Why does it use the console UI? The idea is to use the Mupen64Plus library directly (the commandline UI is not intended to be used by a frontend).

Simply because it was converted from CEN64-Qt which launches CEN64 using the command line (since CEN64 has no API to interact with at this point). It was easy to convert that into a launcher for Mupen64Plus. My focus for this is more on creating a quality frontend for CEN64 if and when it becomes a stable N64 emulator, which is why I've left Mupen64Plus-Qt as a launcher.

I did throw together a somewhat working copy of Mupen64Plus-Qt using the API at one point. It shouldn't be difficult for someone to modify emulatorhandler.cpp to work with the API instead of the console IU if they feel inclined.
