mupen64plus 1.99 with M64Py #572

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Describe your system:
 - Operating System (be specific): ASUS Eee PC 1005PE, Ubuntu 12.04LTS
 - Machine type (32-bit or 64-bit): 32
 - Mupen64Plus version: 1.99 with M64PY
 - Plugins used: unknown

Describe the problem:
I am a complete noob with linux and have been unable to run this emulator.  I 
installed it using "sudo apt-get install mupen64plus". I tried running games 
from terminal by typing "mupen64plus" but it comes up saying "Error: no ROM 
path given"  I also tried installing M64Py to use as the GUI but have no idea 
where to find the "Library file, Plugins directory, Data directory, ROMs 
directory." on the Settings within the M64Py screen (See link below).  I have 
researched and tried installing the mupen64plus-bundle-bin-32-1.99.1.tar.gz by 
installing by following these instructions but it fails 
(http://askubuntu.com/questions/25961/how-to-install-a-tar-gz-or-tar-bz2-file 
and 
http://askubuntu.com/questions/191390/how-to-use-sudo-command-to-install-tar-gz?
lq=1) when I try and type ./Configure as it cannot find the path.  This is 
after I have gone cd /home/user/Games/64/ (which is the directory where the 
file is located).  

Help would be appreciated for either running mupen64 in terminal, or through 
GUI.

Please contact m64py when you have problems with this GUI. The instructions on 
askubuntu are incorrect when you want to build mupen64plus yourself (which is 
not the right thing for your).

Just install it using apt-get and run something like this: mupen64plus 
/home/user/Games/Name/of/Your/Rom.v64

Of course use the correct path to your rom and not this example path.

The library can usually be found in /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libmupen64plus.so.2 
for   x86 32-bit x86 and in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libmupen64plus.so.2 for 
64 bit x86. The data directory should be in /usr/share/games/mupen64plus/. The 
plugin directory is /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/mupen64plus/ for x86 64-bit and in 
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/mupen64plus/ for 64 bit x86.

And I don't know where you store your roms... so I am not able to tell you 
where your ROM directory is.

To run from terminal (after installing mupen64plus)

1) type 'mupen64plus' (without quotes)
2) follow that with a space by hitting the space-bar
3) drag the rom file from its folder over to the terminal window
4) hit enter

Tadaa!
