+
-
Download both the binaries and source files from above.
+
-
Extract both to mupen64plus folder in /home/user folder. (Tip: Get the 7zip package and use 7z x <filename>)
+
-
Move into mupen64plus folder.
+
-
Run executable with ./mupen64plus
+
-
If you get an error here, chmod +x mupen64plus and then try again.
+
-
On first run this will create config files at /home/user/.mupen64plus (not if your logged in to root it'll place this in /root/ directory, which is a no-no)
+
-
Move there and edit mupen64plus.conf (I'd suggest using leafpad)
+
-
This is where you define plugins to use. GFX should be gles2n64.so Audio should be dummyaudio.so (I've yet to find a game that can handle actual audio... but if you want to try it use jttl_audio.so) Input should be mupen64_input.so (Or blight_input.so with some tweaking below) Finally, RSP should be the default.
+
-
Save the file and then open gles2n64.so for editting. Here I changed the screen width to 640 and height to 480 (for original resolution.. only reason) and set frame skip to 2 (your going to need it) also disable fog (can't remember if it was enabled).
+
-
Now that's all done the emulator should be good to go. Create a symlink:
+
-
sudo ln -s /home/user/mupen64plus/mupen64plus /usr/bin/mupen64plus
+
-
and navigate to folder with ROMs in it.
+
-
mupen64plus <romname> should be all you need. Note that it has serious issues with rom files with spaces or brackets in them.. so rename your ROM to as simple a name as possible.
+
-
 
+
-
I'd suggest Mario Kart 64 as a test ROM as it runs very well.
+
-
 
+
-
If you want to get blight_input working. Go and install the application Ren'Py (There is probably an easier way to do this.. but ren'py appears to install libsdl nice and neatly with a few bugfixes). Once done edit the blight_input.conf file with keymap. Also note that Blight supports the PS3 sixaxis completely, including joysticks, you just need to remap the keys. If anyone is interested I can upload my modified blight_input.conf with fully working PS3 controller maps.

Now, commands needed (assuming you have 7zip-full, leafpad, rootsh and the files saved in MyDocs folder)
+
-
In a new terminal:
+
-
If you don't want to install 7z extract it on your computer and mv files to that folder instead.
+
-
mkdir mupen64plus
+
-
cd mupen64plus
+
-
7z x ../MyDocs/binaries.zip
+
-
7z x ../MyDocs/Mupen <press tab>
+
-
7z x Mup <tab> (if it extracts it to tar.. and not fully... can't remember what it does)
+
-
(Also unsure of directory level it extracts everything too, however it should all be in the mupen64plus folder, so use the mv command to get it all there)
+
-
chmod +x mupen64plus
+
-
./mupen64plus
+
-
cd /home/user/.mupen64plus
+
-
leafpad mupen64plus.conf (edit as specified above)
+
-
leafpad gles2n64.conf (edit as specified above)
+
-
sudo ln -s /home/user/mupen64plus/mupen64plus /usr/bin/mupen64plus
+
-
 
+
-
To start game:
+
-
cd MyDocs/<gamelocation>
+
-
mupen64plus <romname>
