[richard42]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 621

Describe your system:
 - Operating System (be specific): CrunchBang 11 with testing Debian repos
 - Machine type (32-bit or 64-bit): 64-bit
 - Mupen64Plus version: 2.0.0
 - Plugins used: OpenGL Rice 2.0.0

Describe the problem:

The game crashes after the Inteligent Systems logo, and I get "Illegal Instruction"
on the terminal. Also sound doesn't work and the reason stated in the terminal is elusive.
Here's the full terminal output:

CPU doesn't seem to be compatible with some component. Please start it with the prefix:

gdb --args

Something like

gdb --args /path/to/mupen64plus paper_mario.v64

Then type "r", press "enter", wait until it crashed and then type "bt full", press
"enter", type "q" and press enter. Post the complete output here and make sure that
you have the -dbg packages for all your installed packages installed to make the output
readable.

Not working audio is most likely an SDL bug. Please contact the maintainer of your
distribution for support. If not then change the frequency in .config/mupen64plus/mupen64plus.cfg
to a working value. You can also try to use an audio server like pulseaudio to hide
the bad audio hw you have behind an abstraction layer.

Thanks for the answer, in the meantime I reinstalled the OS with an 32-bit version,
and now everything works, so I assume that's what you meant by "CPU"
And I have pulseaudio removed from the system as it caused me a great deal of problems
