Thank you, this works great in Gutsy

[dave00001]

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

[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.p...ghlight=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*

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...
