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

@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".

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:

root@jigglypuff:~# apt-get install ia32-libs

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.
