Anyone else had this issue? Or can I change the ini file manually?

Hence why I waited for the one in repos... GUI or no GUI if it is going into repos then it's not going to "change" as much as it is going to "evolve". I don't get why everyone made a fuss about a GUI, but now the N900 officially has an N64 Emu! HOORAY!:D

It's not exactly stable :P and it only gets most of the job done as you can't edit mupen or gles configs without xterm.



Run dpkg --purge command he posted back a page and reinstall.

funny thing is thats what i did already... i did the dpkg --purge.. command and re-installed - then it crashes...

but im doing it again.....:cool:

edit: okay, still crashes... but i went to xterm (as root) typed 'mupen64plus' it installed the rest (1st run, initial setup..) then ran GUI. :D

but I cannot run it any other way... shortcut doesnt work..?

edit2: all new files are there, all old ones gone... BUT when I run thru xterm, I have to be root, plus it says config dir: "./root/".... install and plugin are "usr/share/mupen64plus.."

Try:
rm -R ~/.mupen64plus
root
dpkg --purge mupen64plus-arm-gui mupen64plus-arm mupen64plus-arm-gles2n64
apt-get install mupen64plus-arm-gui mupen64plus-arm mupen64plus-arm-gles2n64

Then you did first run as root and screwed things up... follow what I posted along with a

rm -R /root/.mupen64plus (as root)

Wow ok... or just stick with my version until it becomes more stable as its the same application, just without a GUI rom launcher.

It's the first one you "might" be able to use without manually editing config files.

It's neither more nor less stable, being basically THE SAME as previous builds; it just has the menu icon and the standard mupen64plus config dialogs. Same as the Pandora.

Which is not to say it's easy to use.

The benefit is that you might want to stop distributing the binaries (since they can get them from maemo.org now) and ship only "preconfigured" config files, which should help with the bandwidth.
