Will try. Thanks paul.

So i did as you told me, and now the screen is partial and overlapping, and it froze when i enabled auto frame skip, so I disabled it.

[Paul]

That problem only happens for certain devices.  Enable Stretch Screen to get rid of junk graphics on the side (will skew aspect ratio, but at least the screen won't look jumbled).  For Auto Frameskip, you might be able to get into the game with it disabled, leave and re-enable it, then resume.  A little round-about but could be useful if there is a lot of lag with Auto Frameskip disabled.

I just installed it, but when I try opening it for the first time, it says "error extracting app data". It tells me to unplug the USB, but there isn't one plugged in. I do have enough memory for it, I have an external SD card, and I already tired rebooting. Any solution? My phone is an LG Optimus 2X

@Revamp - Here's an updated version of the app that includes some additional diagnostics:

You'll have to uninstall your current version first.  Try launching this version and let us know what the gist of the error messages is.

Thanks, Littleguy.  We are out of town this weekend, so I wouldn't have been able to build the test until Monday myself.

Unlike the other, this one gets to 98-100%, but the same results.

[littleguy]

Yes, but what are the error messages at the end?  It should say something like
 - Failed to open output file ....
 - Failed to extract asset ... to file ...
 - Failed to close output file ...
 - Failed to close asset ...

If it doesn't say any of those things, let us know that too.

Failed to extract asset mupen64plus_data... To file /mnt/sdcard/Android/data...

[littleguy]

Thanks.  By any chance are you running Android 2.2 or lower?

@Paul - this is a general IOException.  This means the output file stream was successfully opened, but there was a failure in one of the following places:
 - opening the compressed input stream
 - reading the input stream
 - writing the output stream
 - flushing the output stream

[Revamp]

2.2

[littleguy]

That's it then.  Paul just discovered a problem with extracting assets in 2.2 and lower.  We'll have a solution for it in the next release.

[Revamp]

When do you think that will be? Should I just update?

[littleguy]

Release date is up to Paul, but once I fix the problem I'll post a test version here for you to try.  Hopefully I can get to it today.

[Paul]

I'll publish Monday or Tuesday evening, unless we need additional time for testing.
