Hi, how i can quit the music of the roms? pls help me   

[JSA831]

My ROM files aren't working. I choose the file I want to play then I press resume on the next page and it says.launching emulator then it brings me back to the home screen. Please help me

Very likely they are bad roms or not the right format.  The filename should end in .v64, .n64, or .z64.  If it ends in .7z or .rar, you'll have to "unzip" the file first using a third-party app.  (You can also do the unzipping on a PC if you prefer).  Also Mupen can handle some .zip files automatically, but it's still safer just to unzip it yourself and point mupen to the .n64, .v64, .z64 instead.

Hey.

I tried mapping the down volume key and up volume key to the L and R Buttons respectively, in order to play Super Mario 64 on my Nexus 5. Problem is the Z button is not triggered in game by the down volume key. Weird. The Up volume key assigned to the R button works fine.

Since the R key is no so critical in terms of reflexes I considered mapping the up volume key to the Z button instead. But apparently the problem was not exclusive of the down volume key, the up volume key does not trigger the Z button either in game.

This is very weird considering that when testing the keys highlight and respond well, except ingame. This boggles my mind.

Anyone know why this could be?

I have given you a 5 star rating on google, this is an excellent app, i would like it if it didnt ask me to give a 5 star rating every time i open it tho, if this is possible, thank you very much 😊

The app does not ask for a rating when you open it.  I'm guessing you have one of the ripoffs.

Hello Paul by the way epic emulator but I have a glitch that happens to me on Zelda ocarina of time were I go to the temple of time after getting the 3 spiritual stones and I'm in the court yard about to enter and the whole app crashes, not just the ROM. So if you know a way to fix this please reply. Also I have to mention it makes the game impossible to progress so if there is no fix I cannot play .

I don't know why but when I first got the emulator I tried pokemon snap and it wouldn't let me move the camera. Somebody please help.

Have you considered baking in a simple VR/cardboard mode? Simple split screen.

[fzurita]

Yeah, that question has been asked before. It's on the to-do list.

Hey guys, I bought a N64 Controller adapter (for PC USB) so I could plug my old controller into my phone and use it for the emu. I also got a small Samsung adapter to plug the USB connection into my charging port. It's all hooked up, but it's not reading my controller.

I have Android 5.1.1 on my Samsung Galaxy Core Prime, and version 2.4.4 of the Mupen64 Plus AE. The controller I'm using is an original 1998 N64 Controller.

Any suggestions?

[fzurita]

Try the latest version of the app. Mupen64plus FZ in the play store:

How do I map controller buttons?
Navigate to Settings->Input->Controller, press a button on the screen, then press the control you want to map it to.  The same procedure works for Player's 2 - 4 as well.

Im using my android phone (galaxy7) and the default button configuration in the "Android Gamepad" profile assigns the "fire" button as "Z" - which is located directly above the joystick controls, thus making games unplayable (particularly in vertical mode as the Z button is located way above at the top of the screen- but this is a side issue).

I try to create a new controller profile but while it allows me to "unmap" a button it doesnt allow me to add a function. I just get a box that says "Press a button,key, or joystick to map....  Current Mappings: [tiny png image of a n64 controller] and then two options "unmap" and "cancel."

What am I missing here? Since other people presumably play this on their phones given that its on GooglePlay.

[fzurita]

So, once that box that says to press a button on your controller shows up, what happens when you press a button?

What controller do you have?
