Project 64 on wine

[Don_Shifty]

hello!
2 questions:
first: i managed to install project64 with wine, it even appears in my applications menu. i can also run it. but as soon as i want to emulate a game-rom (zip-file) it breaks down. can someone help?
second: i have a dual boot with winXP Pro. if i use wine can i start programms already installed on the winXP disk without reinstalling them via wine?
i'm running ubuntu 7.10.
Thanks for the help!

You should try a Linux native N64 emulator called Mupen 64.

Programs that setups registry keys while installing won't find these keys if run through Wine without being installed.

Mupen 64 works very well. I use it with my 360 controller.

thanks for the message! i tried mupen64... it found the roms (still zip files) and even displayed them on the main screen. if i want to run one of them it asks me to choose a UCode (?). but with either one of the UCodes it just gives me a black window....
what is wrong? do i need to use different roms? know where to find them?
thanks a lot

kbless, how did you get a controller configured with mupen64? the only options i have are none and keyboard. id really like to use my PS2 controller (with usb adapter) but i cant seem to get it configured. did you need a different plugin?

You're going to need to install the drivers and get it working before mupen will recognize it.

drivers for what? the adapter? i dont think there are any drivers. ive searched all over but cant seem to find anyting

I don't know how to get a ps2 controller working and I don't know if there are any tutorials on how to get one to work. 360 controllers work though.

project 64 will run under wine if you have the right plugins for gfx. I found that 1964ogl and daedulus work ok. compatibility is low. I cant find a working sound plugin. mupen 64 for linux is probly a better choice.

i got the ps2 controller working. i needed to install joystick and the calibration.

mupen 64 works ok, but frame rates are very slow! project 64 under XP and with a crappy P4 single core 2.4GHz and old 9600Pro ATi card could do better. mupen 64 with ubuntu, q6600 quad @ 3.0 GHz and 7300 GT vid card can only put out like 20-30 fps
