Launches to Small Unusable Window

I have compiled mupen64_nogui using the default options. When I launch the program pointing to one of the sample roms, it opens to a small unusable window. The window it opens to is about half-an-inch square.

I downloaded the preconfigured version and then copied the compiled "nogui" version into it so I could make use of the plugins. Perhaps that is the problem?

I've been having this exact same problem, I believe.

The glitch is right in this line, here

Selected Plugins: ../n64/TRON.V64, 3 - JttL's SDL plugin 1.3, 3 - Rice's Video Plugin 6.1.0, 1 - Hacktarux/Azimer hle rsp plugin

I'm pretty sure the problem is that mupen is reading the name of the rom file as the graphic plugin. I ran mupen64_nogui with the interactive option turned on, and the line showed up properly.

Since I'm setting up a mythbox, I really don't want to have to do this interactively each time. That's kind of the whole point of having the nogui emulator, right? So if anybody knows why the --gfx option doesn't work, and why the graphic plugin is set to the rom name, that would be pretty darn awesome.

Agreed

Glad to know I'm not alone... I wonder if anyone out there has a solution? Is a new version about to be released perhaps?

It's got to be configureable. I can't seem to find any extensive documentation for command line options in the linux version though. But I'll keep looking.

demo download from mupen64 site

I used TRON, because it is one of the "free demos for testing" provided on the mupen64 website:
http://mupen64.emulation64.com/down.htm

Its in the demo download. I figured it was designed/guaranteed to be the most likely to work.... if that makes any sense. It wasn't some random download from another website.

i tried the TRON rom. only tr64 plugin had probs.
Can you give us your system specs especially your vid card vendor?

System Specs

I'm not sure exactly what you want to know...

Video Card: Kaser nVidia GeForce 6200 w/128MB
CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2200+ (1.8Ghz)
Motherboard: ECS k7s5apro
Mem: 512MB

It should be more than powerful enough to work.

Anything else you want to know?

Hey dave, try running it in interactive mode to see if we've got the same problem. If it works, and it's just that one line that changes, then we've got the exact same thing going on.

I don't see how the system specs could make the --gfx command-line option not work, but stranger things have happened.

Do you have probs with other 3D software (games, (NVIDIA-driver installed correctly?))?
Do you build mupen by yourself?

my card:
cat /proc/driver/nvidia/cards/0
Model: GeForce2 MX/MX 400

no other trouble with any other games. Yeah, I built it myself. I need the nogui version for mythgame. I've even gotten the nogui version to work, just not with the -gfx option. only in interactive mode.

Sorry for the delay in response. I had some other things come up.

I now have the GUI version working fairly well. At least the video part is working (haven't tested audio), but its a start. However, I still get a half-inch by half-inch black square when I use the nogui version. It is reading in the exact same config file used for GUI, so I'm really confused. Is there any debug informaiton I could send you that would be helpful?

Thanks,
Dave

you also compiled mupen+plugins by yourself and succesfully installed your Nvidia card ?
Can you tell me which video plugin you using.

Yes, I compiled mupen+plugins from src. I am using the glN64 video plugin. It works fine with my Nvidia card in GUI mode... just not in "nogui" mode.

I'm confident my Nvidia is fine, as I can run tuxracer, glxgears, other emulators, etc.

Just found out that only interactive mode is working(rom is loaded as a plugin).
Search the forum for "mupen64_nogui patch" perhabs this patch could help.

FYI... I was also getting this error when trying to run the apps:
Segmentation Fault (SDL Parachute Deployed)

Ends up that I need to have a "save" folder in the running directory (since I had moved it to a new location) ...and the user need access to it to uncompress the ROMs too.

I figured I should document it to help other users searching the forums...
