Mupen64Plus Issues

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I recently upgraded to a pi2 and have been trying to get a n64 emulator working on RetroPie 3.2.1. Unfortunately mupen64plus keeps segfaulting and just will not launch any games (I have tried several). The following is what I get when attempting to launch a game from CLI.

pi@retropie /opt/retropie/emulators/mupen64plus/bin $ ./mupen64plus --verbose /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/n64/SuperMario64.n64

Mupen64Plus Console User-Interface Version 2.5.0

UI-Console: attached to core library 'Mupen64Plus Core' version 2.5.0
UI-Console:             Includes support for Dynamic Recompiler.
Core Error: Unable to open rom database file '(null)'.
UI-Console Error: core failed to open ROM image file '/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/n64/SuperMario64.n64'.

I am certain the ROM exists in that location and permissions are properly set.

Any idea where to start looking for a solution to this problem?

Try to install from source again. It should not segfault.

Tried installing from source using retropie_setup.sh but the results are the same.

Your issue is probably unrelated. I am unable to load any game using the mupen64plus emulators and am on RetroPie 3.2.1.

@lucklocky
mupen64plus was broken in retropie sd card image 3.1. Reinstall (binary or source).

@saucy
I think you do not pass all necessary parameters.
Example:
mupen64plus –noosd –fullscreen –gfx mupen64plus-video-n64.so –configdir /opt/retropie/configs/n64 –datadir /opt/retropie/configs/n64 %ROM%”

Please take a look here:
