Well I'm trying to play Zelda 2 and it loads and it just shows the mask floating around and the text says to insert controller. How do I fix this?
Please insert controller.

Yes there is. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask.
And I don't have any controllers plugged into my PC. I wanna use the mouse and keyboard, is this not possible? I could do it on Win emus. BTW I'm using Linux if it matter.
Here's a screenshot of it exactly:

You have to explicitly tell blight's input plugin which of the four n64 controllers you want the emulator to see as plugged in. In the blight input config dialog, there's a button for each controller called "plugged". It's hard to tell at first, but this button is basically a checkbox. So your problem is that none of the controllers are marked as "plugged" in the blight_input config. For mupen64plus, I'm working on a new gtk-based config dialog so the plugged checkbox should be clearer in the future.

No. Majora's Mask isn't Zelda 2.
If you want mouse + keyboard, use the N-Rage Input plugin. If it's possible to use said plugin with Mupen, that is.
EDIT: Ah, you mentioned Linux. AFAIK, you're SOL then.

It's the second Zelda for the N64. Do you really feel the need to argue over something trivial?

It's not trivial to me, but what the hell, ok.
Like I said, if you're using Linux, I doubt you will have the "luxury to play with a mouse and keyboard. Besides, why would anyone in their right mind paly Majora's mask with a mouse and keyboard? FPSes like Perfect Dark and GoldenEye I can understand, but not Zelda.

If you really want to nitpick, this is most correct:
Zelda 2 = NES Game (Generally besides Wand of Ganon considered the worst of the series)
Zelda64 = Ocarina of Time
Zelda64 2 = Majora's Mask
I've never heard Majora's Mask referred to as Zelda 2, only as Zelda64 2.
As far as keyboard and mouse. There is an enable mouse button in Blight. It doesn't seem to work for me though, i.e. it does grab all mouse events from the window system, but doesn't move anything in the emulator. Maybe this might be a bug worth fixing?

I didn't try reproducing the error. I opened the issue so I won't forget to try to reproduce it later. I don't think we have a formal policy on reporting bugs as of now. I don't see a reason to limit what comes in on the issue tracker at this point since not many people are reporting bugs. If I'm not able to recreate it and we determine it's a problem with your configuration or something like that, I'll just change it's status to "Invalid" and add a comment indicating what the problem was with your config. I think this is actually good because then we can refer others with similar problems to that issue and save some typing.
If, later on, the project becomes much more popular and we start getting flooded with invalid or duplicate bug reports in the issue tracker, then we'll want to enforce some restrictions or guidelines, but right now I think it's appropriate to open an issue for any potential issue with the system.
