HOWTO: Install Mupen64

[thegreenblob]

2009 EDIT: I completely forgot about this thread. :P Sorry for all the un-answered replies, but I'm editing this thread to recommend Mupen64Plus (http://code.google.com/p/mupen64plus/) instead of using this script since that is what I use now and it seems that Mupen64 has not been updated since 2005 and Mupen64Plus has been updated much more recently. (Seems like a lot of people already recommended this in the thread but putting it up here to be more noticeable). If for some reason you want the regular mupen64 instead of Plus this script should still work but I'm recommending plus now. :)


I wrote a simple script that will install mupen64 for you if you don't know how.

Tested on: Ubuntu Feisty

This script is ment for it to just be done not really for learning or nothing so if you wanna know how I did it just open up the script so... here goes.

1. Download my script. (the attachment below)
2. Run the script. Open the terminal and do this command.
sudo sh <The Script Location>
3. Wait for the script to get done. And then run mupen64 Applications>Games>Mupen64

To Uninstall

1. Just run these 3 commands in the terminal:

sudo rm -r /usr/local/games/mupen64-0.5
sudo rm /usr/share/applications/mupen64.desktop
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/mupen64

So... thats about it. Hope it helps some people. :D

Comments Welcome.

I am a newbie at scripts and command line errors. Please help.:(

[thegreenblob]

By the look of it, it just looks like the file got corrupt while downloading.

Running the script again should fix it.

[Contrast]

Worked fine here. Thanks a lot! I spent all day trying to install Mupen64 without success. Wish I'd looked here first. :-D

[Faust942]

Yup got it working perfectly! Thanks!

[andytof47]

Cheeeeeers,

Works great just can't configure the gamepads????

I press configure and nothing happens on both

the system recognizes my pads --- logitech(cheapo) precision pads


any Ideas?


great script -- games are working just fine apart from this

[thegreenblob]

Thanks for the comments all.

And @ andytof47, I'm not really sure :/ Cause I have cheap logitech precision game pad too and it works fine, sorry.

[NEMESIS0744]

I Downloaded the script and ran everything, and it seamed like it worked fine. But, when I go to Applications>Games>Mupen64 nothing happens. Please Help!!

[thegreenblob]

Does it run when you try to run it in the terminal? Command: mupen64

If not give me the output. But, it may have just got corrupt while downloading also so running the script again may fix it.

[NEMESIS0744]

I uninstalled it and deleted the script, and re downloaded to script and ran the command, and it still didn't work . so I opened a terminal and typed "mupen64" (without the quotes), and it gave me this,
/usr/local/bin/mupen64: line 2: /usr/local/games/mupen64-0.5/mupen64
: cannot execute binary file
and it doesn't open.

[stmiller]

Thanks for the script works great in Feisty 64bit.

[Armman]

Thank you, worked perfectly.

[abarabas]

Hi, thx for the script, but when i run mupen64 in the terminal i get this error:

/usr/local/bin/mupen64: line 2: /usr/local/games/mupen64-0.5/mupen64: No such file or directory
/usr/local/bin/mupen64: line 4: /usr/local/games/mupen64-0.5/mupen64: No such file or directory
(yes, twice)

What could be wrong?

edit: It does exist

[thegreenblob]

@NEMESIS0744, Hmm... I'm not really sure why it would be doing that, my guess would be its corrupt, but, you tried reinstalling it so I'm not really sure. But, might wanna try "sudo mupen64" to see if its a permissions problem for some reason.

@abarabas, might wanna just try "/usr/local/games/mupen64-0.5/mupen64" in the terminal and see if that works. If it don't might want to try reinstalling mupen64 with the script or try "sudo mupen64".

[jaffamuffin]

I got the same error:

line 2: /usr/local/games/mupen64-0.5/mupen64: No such file or directory

I then installed apt-get install ia32-libs
and it in turn installed all this:

[xjoelx]

anyplace to download the source file? website is down for me so the script cannot download it.

[vsegers]

thank you thegreenblob, this is really amazing.

[Drunken Swagger]

I used the script and Mupen opens perfectly and I can load ROMS & change settings, bet when I start the emulation, my screen flashes and then Mupen disappears.

[thegreenblob]

I used the script and Mupen opens perfectly and I can load ROMS & change settings, bet when I start the emulation, my screen flashes and then Mupen disappears.

Try changing the plugins in the settings. May be caused by one of them.

[Drunken Swagger]

I tried all the combos I could think of...

Could it be that I don't have the proper drivers installed? I was using a GeForce2 MX200 when I installed Ubuntu, and now I have switched to a FX5600. Also, I don't have the real drivers installed, just the included basic driver.

[thegreenblob]

It may be I guess. Though not really sure.

[Xx_Isaac_xX]

Whenever i get in mupen64 it will run just fine and the rom will load just fine but when i play the rom it will play for a minute then it will lock my whole computer up and i have to hit the restart button. Ive tried 2 diffrent mupen64 emulators and my zsnes works. I've also tried a few diffrent roms from diffrent sites. My video card also is working fully its a ATI Radeon x1600 pro. My other 3d games work like open arena. PLZ HELP ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[stewy.23]

this is what happens for me. Im using xubuntu

adam@adam-desktop:~$ sudo sh Mupen64-Script-thegreenblob.sh
sh: Can't open Mupen64-Script-thegreenblob.sh

[thegreenblob]

this is what happens for me. Im using xubuntu

adam@adam-desktop:~$ sudo sh Mupen64-Script-thegreenblob.sh
sh: Can't open Mupen64-Script-thegreenblob.sh

Are you sure thats the right location? Maybe try doing a "sudo sh (then just drag the script in the terminal)"... That may work.

Though if it is the right location... I'm not entirely sure..

And @Xx_Isaac_xX, I'm not really sure of the problem :/ But, I see you already made a thread asking for help.

[leveliv]

What do I do..it installed wrong

failed to execute child process "mupen64" (No such file or directory)
A dialogue box pops up.

[thegreenblob]

What do I do..it installed wrong


A dialogue box pops up.

I suppose try reinstalling. Not really sure of the problem here. :???:

[orko3001]

Hmm my computer won't read my gc disks. Do I have to download the roms?

Cheers

[Merritt.kr]

Ehh.. you mean gc= GameCube? Mupen emulates Nintendo 64, not GameCube, and if your computer is actually set up to hold the tiny GC disks, wow...

get yourself some N64 roms mate!

[orko3001]

Yes sussed that out myself eventually :)

[aphirst]

Excellent. Best tarball-extracting script I've seen in days. Slick and smooth. I was far too lazy to work out how to allocate time between manually typing commands and writing AS Chemistry papers, but it seems all that has been delayed by another 3 1/2 seconds :P .

Surprisingly enough (!) it worked on my 64 bit box, but that figures since I already have all of the 32 bit libraries.

Thanks again.

Edit: Even works perfectly in Gutsy! Well done!

[Azzco]

The install script rus perfectly for me aswell in gutsy, the only problem I have is some setting in mupen. I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask for help but still.

The first 2-3 minutes of gameplay is perfect, but after that everything starts to lag stopping the emulation with the esc button is not possible and I have to kill the proccess. Any ideas?

[emreywiley]

I am currently running Gutsy, and this script ran perfectly. Thanks again!

[Ricky_G]

This script worked perfectly and mupen64 runs just fine on my P4 computer running gutsy. However, when i tried running it on my PS3, also running gutsy, the script completes without error, but when i click on the icon a terminal window flashes on the screen for a split second then disappears.

i'm wondering if maybe this is a problem with the PPC vs ix86 processor architecture, because the cell in the PS3 runs PPC Ubuntu? i'm not sure just throwing it out there.

anyone able to confirm or deny this? or is there anyone who knows how to make mupen64 work on PS3 running gutsy?

[tab0u]

This script worked perfectly.I have a strange problem with mupen.I cant choose another video plugin in configure except from TR64 OpenGL v0.7.8.I have checked the plugins folder.Any ideas?

[lift28]

could you please make up a "mupen64_nogui" - i been trying to compile it for days can not seem to get it right:( --or give me a clue

the script work great thanks

[compsariomike]

Alright,

So I got Mupen64 to install and it ran two or three times and worked fine...almost. I'm new to emulators and Linux. I have the rom for Ocarina of time. I loaded it and ran it and it worked like twice but it flashed "no controller" at the bottom of the screen. So I stopped the emulation and configured the controller to use my keyboard. Now, everytime i try to emulate, it freezes.

WHAT CAN I DO!!! ME WANT ZELDA!!!!

thanks

[lift28]

Here is a link http://www.emutalk.net/showthread.php?t=42770to a nice build works fine after you install SDL_ttf (use adept_manager - search for "SDL_ttf " )
also has mupen64_nogui. thier is a build for amd64 :)

[Moonfrost]

Ok first of all hi everybody! second of all...I have an issue...every time I try to start a rom (I double-click it or just go to play rom) and every time I try that Mupen closes itself...anyone know what might be causing this? I'm kinda new to Linux and specially to Ubuntu so if anybody could give me any detailed help it would be greatly appreciated!

[Dwiman89]

where do you get games at?

[Marfish]

Heya, I tried it the way you explained, but it says it cant move it to a sudirectory of itself. Im new to linux and I dont know what to do. Heres the report, any help wouls be much appreciated:

I am having a similar problem to yours, Marfish.... has anybody else experienced problems like this??

[Intuvati]

ok so i have all the ".so"s in the plugins folder, but apparently it doesn't like them very much. i have the same problem when i get the tarball from the webiste.

i googled this problem but the only other report of it was some russian person so..... any ideas? i'm running a fresh install of gutsy (gnome) and i just started playing roms a little while ago (legend of zelda). oh yeah, great script, works great.

[Intuvati]

oh nvm i just hadnt installed libstdc++5 but after a quick search in synaptic, all is fine now :D

[hankhendrix]

if anyone is still havin the problem of mupen64 not loading roms after good installation try going into the configure and changing your cpu core from Dynamic Recompiler to Interpreter.

Hi,

I ran the installer without problems, but when I try and start mupen64 from the command line I get the following error:
error while loading shared libraries: libSDL-1.2.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64


I also tried directly downloading mupen from the website, and when I try running that one I get this error:
error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I tried the solution suggested here - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=650823&highlight=libgtk - but I apparently have those packages installed already.


Could someone help with this? I'm running Feisty Fawn. Thanks in advance!

[aphirst]

This looks like the libSDL-1.2.so.0 is the 64-bit version. The 32-bit version is needed in either /lib32/* or /usr/lib32/* . You can get the 32-bit version from the ubuntu package resource on t'interweb. OR, you can use a script on these forums called "getlibs" (the URL eludes me for the time being...) to get the 32-bit libraries.

*wishes luck*

[casper911ca]

Is anyone having problems getting thier USB contoller to work.

Yes, I've hit the "plugged button" on Blights plugin, and i have linked the files, and i have installed joystick controllers, and all that jazz.

Im using a PS2 to USB adapter, and it works fine in Frets on Fire and other games that allow external inputs; the joystick controllers sense the device just fine, what could i be missing...

OK i installed mupen64 works perfectly until i tried to open up a ROM, it just crashes, what am i doing wrong? the ROM is a zip file which i used on project 64 on windows:confused:

[Tobi-fp]

You are brilliant, thanks a lot from a noob :D

[weapon273]

I have the same problem as Marfish. Has anyone been able to figure out how to get mupen64 to appear insudirectory?

[DirtDawg]

For the interested, there is also mupen64 plus found here: http://code.google.com/p/mupen64plus/

Simply download the version you need (Mupen64Plus-1-3-bin-32.zip for example), extract the zip wherever you like, then double-click the mupen64plus binary to run.

[Marti9]

I installed it, and found it in "Advanced mode" (Applications->Games->Mupen64). I started it, it looked like it should start, but then it suddenly dissappear.

What can I do?

[inportb]

[Marti9]

Now i could start it, but when I loads a rom, nothing happens.

I tried mupen64plus too, but I couldn't open the mupen64plus-file when I had extracted.

[fordfairmont]

Ok install worked a treat great :)

But now when i open a rom then game screen pops up but remains black.....

HELP NOSTAGLIC NOOB NEEDS ASSITANCE

[InfinityCircuit]

Mupen64Plus is also in my PPA for Hardy if people want it. If you have video troubles you should try a different video plugin.

[tjaisgay69]

Mine worked perfectly well but when i click start emulation, it gives me heaps of choices and no matter which one i click, the emulation screen goes black and doesnt change.:confused:

i got the same problem as nemesis or whoever his name is it install but nothing happens when i click on mupen

[Danoz]

Is it okay to bump this?

I'm having trouble getting Mupen64 to work correctly. I've tried an installation scrip (which didn't work) and I also tried running it from my home directory. It opens, but when I try to play something (testing with Mario64) the program either goes to black screen or crashes. Am I missing critical info?

Just a sidenote, I run a Windows Vista partition and can play Project 64 flawlessly. However, I'd very much like it if I didn't have to load Vista to use this program :).

Thanks!

If you haven't already, try Mupen64 Plus (http://code.google.com/p/mupen64plus/). The original Mupen64 is, I think, a dead project, but this fork continues to be developed. You may have more luck with it.

[Wilabob]

I used the script as described and I have the mupen64 icon in my games but when I try to run it (click on it) it doesn't start and I have no idea what to do.. Any ideas?

Justin

[Magical Tiger]

Great script, thanks.

[easeee]

Same problem as Marfish. Dayum.

[DirtDawg]

Same problem as Marfish. Dayum.

Use Mupen64 Plus (http://code.google.com/p/mupen64plus/). It's actively developed and there's no need for any scripts. Simply download, unzip and run.

Maybe it's time for a "HOWTO: Install Mupen64 Plus" thread since Mupen64 is deader than dirt.

[Kenny301]

im having the same problem with Danoz. i start the rom and the emuulator starts and stays blank then crashes.

[afroman10496]

Yeah! Thanks! Super Smash Bros. and Super Mario 64!

[kcit5]

Thanks a lot for your mini-guide, it worked brilliantly for me.

[unimatrix]

On Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic the sound doesn't work right. Because of pulseaudio the sound is skipping and is all jittery.

Any solutions for that?

how about switching to alsa or oss (click the sound icon on the panel and open volume control) or using a diferent driver for mupen64?

how about switching to alsa or oss (click the sound icon on the panel and open volume control) or using a diferent driver for mupen64?

I can't switch to ALSA/OSS in Ubuntu without breaking pretty much everything else.

And where do I get a different audio driver for mupen? I could only find "JttL's SDL Audio".

In the first few sentences of the 2009 edit in the original post, there's a link for Mupen64Plus. Click it, download it, unzip it, use it. No script needed.

I was having audio problems in karmic and installing the following packages fixed it:

libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio

[Cenoforums]

The sound I get is also choppy. I instaled the pulseaudio package, ending up with these installed (alsa had to be removed)

i libsdl1.2debian - Simple DirectMedia Layer
c libsdl1.2debian-allv- ...
c libsdl1.2debian-alsa - ...
p libsdl1.2debian-esd - ....
p libsdl1.2debian-nas- .....
p libsdl1.2debian-oss -...
i libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio -...

and the problem is still the same.Anything I'm missing? What in-program settings are you using?

Godamnit pulseaudio never works, it's beyond description

The latest version of mupen64plus actually doesn't come with a GUI, so you'll have to run it from the terminal, however you can still get the last version which comes with a GUI still.

http://mupen64plus.googlecode.com/files/Mupen64Plus-1-5-bin-64.tar.gz for 64 bit.
http://mupen64plus.googlecode.com/files/Mupen64Plus-1-5-bin-32.tar.gz for 32 bit.

That one comes with an install script which makes a menu icon and what not, or you can just run it from a folder. I actually still use 1.5 since the newest one doesn't seem to support my controller.

This is a GTK GUI frontend I believe, though I haven't tried it yet: http://www.emutalk.net/showthread.php?t=50438

When I used the script and typed in mupen64 in the teminal I got the following: Couldn't read config file '/usr/local/games/mupen64-0.5//mupen64.conf': No such file or directory
Couldn't load plugin '/usr/local/games/mupen64-0.5/plugins/ricevideo.so': libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

and then tells me to select a UCode (non of which are the game I wanted to play - Banjo-Kazooie) I select the first one anyway and I get TR64GL : (II) Getting video info..TR64GL : (II) Setting video mode 640x480x32..demarrage r4300

I try it again and it doesn't even tell me to select UCode this time. :confused:

I'm a newbie(ish) to linux as it is and complete newbie to how these emulators work so any help is greatly appecited.
Thanks.

Sorry, Forget the above post by me - I'm going to try and install mupen64plus instead.

[David-IT]

thank you worked flawless on ubuntu 10.04 :D and for anyone having problems using the script just copy mine but save the file to your desktop :D
sudo sh /home/david/Desktop/Mupen64-Script-thegreenblob.sh also in the /home/youraccname/desktop etc.. :DD

This is interesting.

I have a home PC that I administer and my kids use. I (on my logon) installed Mupen64Plus from the software center. Then I logged out, and my son logged in to play it with HIS logon.

He runs it just fine. No problems.

But now when I try and run it - no go.

His config screen in Mupen comes up filled in. When I mimic his settings on my logon, I get the "Unable to read ini file from disk" error with Rice's 1.5.

I have looked through the Mupen directories looking for perhaps my son as the owner, but no. It's all set up to root and looks fine. Any advice?

(I tried uninstalling and reinstalling from my logon, then me running first. Same thing. Hates all the logons but my sons who FIRST ran it).

[ncwalker2010]

Well I solved my own problem.

In .config\mupen64plus are all the config files.

I had them all, but they were all 0 bytes in size. (No idea why).

In all the other logons, they were NOT zero length files. So I copied someone else's directory into mine and everything worked fine.

Hi I understand this is a VERY old thread but I am extremely new to linux and the whole command line and need some help installing this. When I go to type it all in it says Permission Denied. Could someone spell this out step by step so that I can just type it into the terminal and download? I have linux mint 9, and I have downloaded the script in my Downloads file. Thanks!

[masterrob213]

thnx this helped so much

[dukevoytek]

For those of you who are still confused its available in the software center! Took me two hours to try that one :p

works perfectly, not the same thing using a keyboard though!

[colostomeboy]

i feel really dumb, but I'm not sure what you mean by running the script and opening the terminal, if anyone could post some more details or a video that could help that would be great, I am using a mac version 10.6.8, maybe about 6 or 7 years old.

[maidenman]

Works fine! Tks!
