Developer Preview: Mupen64Plus v1.99.2 tag for Win32
Richard42
Mupen64Plus v1.99.2 has been tagged. I'm not creating official source
and binary packages of this tag, because it is primarily meant to be a
Developer Preview for the new native Win32 build of Mupen64Plus.
This is the first ever release of Mupen64Plus which can be compiled
either by GCC in unix-based operating systems or Visual C++ in
Windows. No other N64 emulator has ever been able to claim this level
of platform independence. So, for you Win32 developers who would like
to build and run this preview release, here is the software that you
will need:
1. Mercurial (TortoiseHG)
2. Visual Studio .NET 2005
That's it; no other tools or libraries are needed. I chose to base
the project files on VS 2005 (MSVC8) because that is the latest
version which is officially supported by SDL. It may be possible to
import/upgrade the sln/project files to VC9 but I haven't attempted
this. To get started,
1. Use your Mercurial client to clone tag "1.99.2" of the following
repositories (put them in the same parent directory):
http://bitbucket.org/richard42/mupen64plus-audio-sdl/
http://bitbucket.org/richard42/mupen64plus-core/
http://bitbucket.org/richard42/mupen64plus-input-sdl/
http://bitbucket.org/richard42/mupen64plus-rsp-hle/
http://bitbucket.org/richard42/mupen64plus-ui-console/
http://bitbucket.org/richard42/mupen64plus-video-rice/
http://bitbucket.org/richard42/mupen64plus-win32-deps/
2. Open up the solution file: mupen64plus-ui-console\projects
\msvc8\mupen64plus-ui-console.sln
3. Build it in Debug or Release mode
4. Run it. You can use 'winrar' or similar to unzip the
mupen64plus.v64.gz test ROM file in mupen64plus-core\roms\ and drop it
into the build directory, then click the "Run" button in visual
studio. Or, you can open a DOS shell and 'cd' to the build dir and
run your own roms with "mupen64plus-ui-console.exe \path\to\my
\rom.z64".
Caveats:
* There is no GUI application for selecting the ROMs. The GUI code
was removed during the re-architecture for the sake of platform
independence. There is only a command-line front-end application. If
you would like to have a GUI front-end, I encourage you to write one.
The core library API is fully documented and published on our emuwiki
site. (http://www.emuwiki.com/index.php?
title=Mupen64Plus_v2.0_Core_API_v1.0)
* The console-based front-end only accepts uncompressed ROM images.
If your ROMs are zipped, you will have to unzip them.
* The included Rice Video plugin seem to be sensitive to a parameter
called ScreenUpdateSetting. The value which worked best in Linux
causes a lot of flickering in Windows. If you have this problem, you
can change the setting either on a per-ROM basis by editing the
RiceVideoLinux.ini file or on a global (default) basis in the
mupen64plus.cfg file, which is in a subdir of your home directory
called "Application Data\Mupen64Plus".
So the important question: How does it run? I have a core 2 duo
laptop with an Intel 965 chipset (X3100 integrated graphics) and Mario
Kart runs beautifully. The dynamic recompiler works (you have to
enable it with --emumode 2), the audio playback is great, and the new
joystick auto-configuration works. I haven't tested it extensively,
so there are bound to be some bugs. Give it a shot and let me know
how it runs!
