Mupen64Plus Crashes instantly on startup #607

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Describe your system:
 - Operating System (be specific): Windows 7 Professional x64 and Windows 8 Pro x64
 - Machine type (32-bit or 64-bit): x64
 - Mupen64Plus version: 2.0
 - Plugins used: None

For visual artifacts, give:
- game name and CRC/MD5 hash (printed on console)
- description of the artifact (missing polygons, flashing, wrong colors,
etc)

Describe the problem:
Upon downloading and unzipping the packaged files I see the Mupen64plus.exe 
When I click it I see a CMD style prompt ( which looks like it has the mupen 
logo and a few other lines that I cannot read) load and instantly close. This 
happens on both my Windows 7 and Windows 8 machine. I am new to this emulator 
and was wondering if there is anything I need to do before loading the .exe. 
I've looked up a few videos and they all seem to have a GUI that I can't seem 
to get. Any help would be great. Thanks!

Please provide any additional information below.

Builds:
Main: Windows 8 Pro |AMD Phenom x4 980 | ASUS Crosshair IV Formula| 8gb RAM | 
Radeon 6950 | Samsung 840 SSD | 2TB Seagate 

Secondary:  Windows 7 Professional |Intel i7 4770k | Asus Maximus Impact VI | 
16gb RAM | Radeon HD6450 | Corsair CX500 | Samsung 840 EVO SSD | 2TB WD Red 
Drive

That is indeed intended behaviour and not a crash, the mupen64plus package you 
get from here only contains a commandline interface and you'd have to use it 
via the CMD prompt. There are however Third Party GUI's available refer to 
https://code.google.com/p/mupen64plus/wiki/ThirdPartyPlugins for information on 
that. M64Py is the most maintained and recommended GUI to use. You can remove 
the files you've downloaded from here as the M64Py installer contains the 
emulator and all available plugins.

The GUI's you've seen are probably from older times, when m64p still had an 
official GUI.
