Support / Re: Graphic settings going back to default

« on: May 10, 2012, 01:32:09 PM »

Thanks for your replies 

I have purposely not installed N64oid (except the first initial Market release, which I deleted from my phone after getting my own core up and running).  When Yongzh updates the core source code, I generally scan it for any changes, but have never copy/pasted from it into my code.  I do not want anyone to claim that I copied off of Yongzh.  This app is its own unique creation, and I intend to keep it that way .  If I end up solving some problems the same way, that doesn't bother me, but generally speaking, there is "more than one way to skin a cat" as the expression goes.

Thats good, I wasn't impling copying, but I like the way you approach it. Hopefully with this community and a lot of testers we can help you out. That is something N64oid surely does not have today...

But coming from my experience with version 1.4, I know for a fact that we can "skin the cat very smooth"  .

Weird, this doesn't seem to be happening for me.  I uploaded a verbose test.  Could you run the test, exit, and grab the logcat?  If you aren't familiar with accessing the logs, I've posted instructions in this thread.

I will try helping you with this log on the weekend.

Surely, as of now I wouldn't know how to make that user interface, but if you get a chance, try looking at your "competition" in a way to learn the good and avoid its problems...

If you already haven't, I recommend you to get N64oid, cause even if is not as good as Mupen, it has its pros...

in my introduction to the site I made a long post I could have trimmed a bit, but maybe that help you out somehow.

Anyway one of the things Mupen is missing, that N64oid offers is to actually hitting Home button and coming back to the game without losing place. Right now Mupen is not working this way for me. It just open the Menu once I go back to the app, and when I try to Resume, it just start the game all over.

The other thing is a "Reset" button on the Menu while on the game, so you can start over quickly, and if you have enabled Auto-Save, you can actually avoid saving if it was not your intention.

Lastly, the key mapping setting in N64oid, actually shows what key is linked to the desired button (I.E. A = +) instead of A = "Key Code 59"


ANYWAY... I have to say one more time, that I am really REALLY happy for this app/site/community and dev. Because long time ago when my mom sold my N64 I though I lost them forever... and you are keeping them alive (plus it is way more convenient to play on my phone than on my laptop emu  )

Hello, I recently joined this forum and wikia for editing purposes... thank you all for contributing and develop

I added the Atrix 4G to the list and tested 15 games, but now I can't find it in the webpage

http://mupen64plus.wikia.com/wiki/Mupen64Plus,_Android_Edition_%28AE%29_Wiki#Current_List

This is the list I created:

Does it take long to post the edited changes or...?


Also, it is called Droid Razr nor Razer.

Support / Graphic settings going back to default

Device: Motorola Atrix 4G (MB 860)
CPU: Nvidia Tegra 2
RAM: 1 GB
Resolution: 960x540
Rom: Android GB 2.3.6 - Stock Release
App Version: Current market release. 1.9


Problem seems to be that when setting the 2rice graphic plug-in, it does not remember next time you open Mupen.

Even when playing a game, then going to Menu/settings, it reverts back to 2n64

Would be great to remember, or if its not too complicated... to remember which plug-in to use for what game....

General Discussion / Self Intro, some personal opinions

Hello Paul, and members of this great community...

First, I would like to thank you for this wonderful app...

I have to admit that finding this site and app was something I was not expecting to do since another Emulator has been satisfying my needs for 64. But after I tried Mupen64 AE, it gave me many features, the other emu lacked and to see that this app is being develop and currently working on, made me very happy.

I am an Atrix MB860 user and many games runs very good with it, hopefully more games will join.



I would like bullet point a list of Pros and things-to-improve IMHO when comparing Mupen64plus to N64oid since I currently use both equally.

Mupen64plus PROS and advantages:

-Multi Player Capabilities. (absolutely awesome, combine this with Wiimote Controller and a TV and it is a lot of fun with friends, is great to share nostalgia)

- Controls, specially touch one is very neat. well spaced and responsive for most games.

- Multiple plug-ins

- Cheat feature!

- WORK IN PROGRESS... fantastic that you guys are supporting this classics... I enjoy new games but N64 lives deeply in my heart....

- Popular Games that work great

> Mario Kart 64
> Star Fox 64
> Golden Eye 007
> Super Mario 64
> Tony Hawk Pro Skater
> Monster Truck Madness 64
> Legend Of Zelda The Ocarina of Time. except for inside of rooms.


Things-to-Improve IMHO (I know some or all of this might be already something on a check list but Im gonna write it down anyway, you might find something new...) (no particular order)

- UI buttons for menu

- a Reset option (reset for the game, specially if one has the Auto Save option checked)

- A hold option for some button (for racing games. There are good ideas in the forum already)

- More game compatibility, of course. Games that need work are:

> Mario Kart. Multi Player, only Player 1's top half of screen is visible.
> Turok series. need work mostly on 2n64 plugin. But also HUD and some graphics for 2rice plugin
> Super Smash bros. is playable but some layers are invisible, such as HUD (damage, time, etc), fire, and some flat animations.

- Games that are not yet playable (crossing my fingers for this titles in the near future):

> Domkey Kong 64. Nothing, app crashes
> Rayman 2. Only sound, all black (I understand that this also happen to Zelda Majora's Mask)
> Excitebike 64. Can't get past initial screens and logos
> Jet Force Gemini. Black screen flashing when trying to play.




Final personal note for post, I think this has an incredible potential and I will definitely recommend this to friends with Android which every day are more and more...

keep it up!

The same goes for the rest of the series... Turok 2 and Turok 3.

I can assume that this bug also extent to Super Smash Bros. since HUD flickers and is mostly invisible. Same goes for fire effects, tornadoes (on Hyrule Castle), and other stuff.

I hope this can be fixed, since the feature I love the most of this 64 Emulator is its multi player capabilities.
