Dear Maemo Community,

I thought its time to create a new thread to collect informations about the game compatibility with Mupen64Plus on the N900. Quite a few games run already very smooth and playable on the current versions of MupenPlus, still you need to try around 10 different games to find one smooth working one.

Here is a example how you could post your informations:

I hope that we get soon a thread with a lot of playable games

This is juste copy paste ( Mupen64plus version 16July).

At 900MHz the sound is enabled, frameskip = 3.

Mario Kart 64 (graphic ok) (audio break every 5 or 10 second)
California Speed (graphic ok) (audio break every 3 second)
Super Mario 64 (graphic ok) (audio ok)
WWF War Zone (graphic ok) (audio break every 3 second)
Top Gear Rally (graphic ok) (audio break every 3 second)
Formul 1 World chompionship (crash to menu)
1800 Snowboarding (graphic ok) (audio break every 5 or 10 second)
Ready 2 Rumble (graphic bug in the menu) (audio ok)
Goldeneye (slow) (audio break every 3 second)
007 The World Is Not Enough (graphic bug, no weapon display) (no audio sound)
Destruction Derby 64 (error SEGSIGV)
Perfect Dark (bug, it crashes in to the menu) (audio break every 5 second)
Re-volte (very slow) (audio break every 2 second)
Spederman 64 (graphic bug) (audio break every 3 second)
Resident evil 2 (do not start)
Diddy Kong Racing (do not start)

Rayman 2 works fine, it is quite smooth in my opinion.
But -.- in the first level there's a switcher that you have to activate, and for some reason it doesn't work. You can try on and on and on, but nothing will happen.
It's a pain in the ***, I was very happy comparing my Rayman version with the Nintendo DS one (my little brother is playing all the time), and now X_x

what settings did you use to run Rayman 2? ive been tryin to run it for a while now but just blank screen on starting and no further movement

cheers

Just FYI, Mario 64 with javispedo's audio plugin is a real treat. The sound is great and performance is basically fullspeed.

Mario Party (EU) works, but half the graphics are missing making it unplayable.
Super Smash Bros (EU and US) works, but it's pretty slow.

Make sure you include the rom region

mario Tennis still not working ,and Bomber Man 64, they said the new version is working with two game above specific fix but still not working

I think I use default settings, but without sound. The thing is that I can't change the frameskip settings and all that, I don't know how to do it.
Rayman 2 works, but it takes a couple of seconds to start. When I tried it for the first time I thought the same: It doesn't work, there's just a black screen.
Try waiting about 30 seconds, and press start button all the time.
Good luck
