Not sure if this is the proper place to post, if not, please recommend the proper forum.
I recently installed Mupen64plus v1.5 on a Kubuntu 9.0.4 linux box I'm building for my nephew. Zsnes emulator works great but i cant seem to get the mupen64plus to play at a proper fps rate? Whenever i launch either super mario 64 or legends of zelda ocarina i'm getting fps rates hovering around 2.5 fps. It loads supremely slow. I've tried both the Glide and the RiceVideo plugins but get similar results. I saw on another forum it could be related to the audio limiting the fps rate, but when i look at audio settings i dont see a box for unlimiting fps rates? I've tried a little messing around with both video and audio config with mupen64plus but honestly i dont really know what im doing. I'm worried i might be trying in vain to use an emulator that is a little too much for my antiquated machine. Can anybody steer me in the right direction, as to whether or not my computer is not enough machine for mupen64plus or what optimal video/audio settings might be for a slower machine. I'm obviously both a linux and emulation newb, but nevertheless I do think this would make an awesome learning tool/toy for my nephew so I'd like to at least try.
My system specs are as follows:
AMD Athlon XP 2800+
NV28 [GeForce4 Ti 4200 AGP 8x]
cant find memory specs but I think its 1GB memory
Thanks
