Nintendo 64 Emulator

I know that the emulator is still in alpha, but I cannot get to run any ROMs whatsoever. I've tried a few different games and it will briefly show a black screen with letters that I can't read and then it goes back to the menu. Is there anything I'm missing? Thanks.

I have had success with this emulator only when running it directly from the command line in conjunction with the rom that I want to run. You can try that.

I'm really new to this stuff, so how would I do that exactly?

for me, I have to navigate to /home/pi/emulators/mupen64plus-rpi/test/ then type:

sudo ./mupen64plus /path/to/rom.z64

for example (after navigating to /home/pi/emulators/mupen64plus-rpi/test/) I type:

sudo ./mupen64plus /usb-drive/roms/n64/Mario\ Kart\ 64.z64

Thanks a lot! I'll have to try that.

I tried it and it doesn't work. My ROMs are all .zips, does that matter? Also, and I'm really sorry if I am being a pain, but how exactly does the syntax work for the file name?

Unzip them, that should work. With the file name use backslash (\) in front of spaces.

Howdy, Stranger!
