Beta Testing Has Begun!

[Evil King Stan]

The problem is on the most recent test apk. I'm using the gles2rice plugin, with all configurations turned on except for texture packs. I tried to reproduce it on the official 1.9.2 build, but it didn't happen.

Possibly a Skip Frame problem.  Does it do it for gles2n64 or when Skip Frame is disabled on Rice?  Options menu is a little screwy so might be hard to test.

[Evil King Stan]

With gles2n64 the game is much slower, but it works with or without frame skipping. With gles2rice, disabling frame skipping doesn't fix the issue. I've tried different combinations of settings, and the problem is with the fast texture loading. If that is disabled, the game works fine. (Aside from normal RICE graphics glitches.)

Thanks, I'll see what changed with that between 1.9.2 and the latest build.

Where is emulator at man dang smh

First post of this thread

[Xhotzkin]

Hello would you make a core plugin for quadcore/tegra 3 processors like the htc one x or the samsung galaxy s3? So the emulator can use all the 4 cores in the mobile for playing games smoother? I would be very happy if you prodce something like that.

[Paul]

I couldn't myself (assembly language is beyond my abilities at the moment).  You might try and hit up some other developers who enjoy working on dynarecs, such as Ari64.  He is the guy who wrote the dynarec Mupen64Plus AE is using now.

Any progress on the emulator? just curious

[Paul]

Sorry, been busy with my other app.  Progress from my end is going to be slow for a while, until I've transitioned out of the Air Force and into a stable civilian job.  In the mean time I am focussing on getting a couple of commercial apps published to hopefully use as a financial fall back in case I have trouble finding employment.

Hey Paul just recently found your Mupe64plus ae 30 minutes ago I am amazed one actually works for my HTC wildfire S It's quiet slow laggy too much graphic errors but i love it im messing around with the settings to get the best gameplay <3 <3 <3

Hey Paul, For quite some time your app has been unable to properly run games on the HP TouchPad. The problem is that after starting a game, the entire app force closes... For example, upon loading Super Mario 64, the opening title to the game briefly shows... My tablet then returns to the homescreen with a notification about the emulator in my status bar. I'll install the new version from the market and get you a logcat.

(Doing what I just said)

Ok, got a logcat and put it on my Dropbox.

Thanks for all of your hard work, Paul! I've followed this project since way back in the day.

Hey, Quietlyawesome94, your problem is coming from this line:

I/DEBUG   ( 2924):          #01  pc 000042a8  /data/data/trev.android.mupen64plusae/lib/libfront-end.so (Java_paulscode_android_mupen64plusae_GameActivityCommon_stateEmulator)

The call to "stateEmulator", which checks to see if the emulator is running or not, is what's crashing.  I'll have to look at the code there a little more closely to see what's wrong.  It is odd that it doesn't happen to everyone (I hate those "sometimes happens" bugs - they tend to be the most difficult to solve)


--EDIT--
I think the problem is this.

Where is the thread about high res textures? I can't find it for the life of me

Where is the thread about high res textures? I can't find it for the life of me

I don't know if there ever was a formal thread about high res textures, other than the short section in the FAQ thread.

There have been a few support and compatibility questions about hires textures.  Easiest way to find those is to do a search of the forum for the word "hires", and make sure the option "Show results as messages" is checked.

I probably should write up a formal thread for this at some point, and pin it so it is easy to find.
