Beta Testing Has Begun!

Hey paul! I'm getting a lot of crashes here on international SGS3 4.3 with yank kernel. Cheers!

[Paul]

Which game(s) and which video plugins have the problem?  Also please describe the exact behavior when there is a crash (frozen video, game activity closes back to menu, app force-closes back to home screen, etc).

There are only a handful of code changes between 2.4.1 and 2.4.2, so any regressions should be easy to track down.  The riskiest change this time is probably the new audio buffer size option.

@r_prieto5 Go to Settings -> Audio -> Audio buffer size and try the other values.  If that fixes it, let us know which value did it.

@r_prieto5 Also, can you confirm that 2.4.1 was working properly?

The Doom 64 backfires a little, and there are also some deductions.

Hi Paul, I'm having a couple of major issues with the latest update. The Glide plugin sets the screen mode to portrait, I've switched it to Landscape but it still displays in Portrait. I've played around with the settings with no luck. When I use the Rice plugin I get terrible graphics problems when I have the auto frameskip on, I've pinpointed it to that. My device is LG Nexus 4, 4.4 kitkat. Thanks Paul! :-)

That's not a problem with the latest mupen update.  It's a problem with KitKat and the Qualcomm graphics drivers.

Today I tested the emulator on my galaxy sii lite/s advance. First, on the loading screen that appear on the first time the emulator is run, and the data is extracted to sd card, the % counter go back to 0 every time i rotate the screen. And Zelda Ocarina of time need to disable depth test to not flicker.

Other than that, I'm looking forward for version 3.0 and the new gonetz plugin, gliden64..

Thanks gdark.  The % counter on the splash screen is a known issue and one that I recall thinking it was more trouble than it was worth to fix it.

You can also fix flicker by playing with the "Flicker reduction profile" in the video menu.  There's a new option there to customize the profile if none of the built-in ones work.  The benefit of using that setting instead of "disable depth test" is that it applies equally to all three video plugins.

We're looking forward to gonetz's new plugin too.  Just to clarify for other readers, it is a separate project and will not be part of the Mupen64Plus-AE version 3 release.

hi paul, well I was trying to play resident evil 2 but it does not enter, just stays on a black screen back to the menu, then wanted to know if there is any way to make it work.

v2.4.0 v32 Mupen64Plus-debug goes in-game but textures are messed up.

[littleguy]

@Mikhail What's your point?  That's an out of date debug build.

Published 2.4.3

Wow, another s advance user... why s2 lite?? Are you from Brasil too...
You can always try the glide plugin, but in our phones it requires frameskipping

Hello, you are brilliant, do a great work, me work very well in the samsung s2, and I hope that you could help me with my problem! I play this great emulator in a tablet of 9.7" (it marks "qilive", it is similar to the tablet archos platinium 9.7b) and it was giving myself problems in many games " killer insting gold " and many more, problems in the graph and texture " Mario 64, killer insting gold, speed down in perfect dark, it blocks in zelda 2 " majoras mask ", and speed problems. Only it happens in my tablet and not in the mobile. I changed the plugins and it does not raise the speed. The characteristics of tablet:quadcore 1.6ghz (rk3188), quadcore mali400MP4, android 4.2, ips retina, 2048*1536px. Might you optimize for my processor? It be be very grateful if you were helping myself. This is a good emulator. A greeting
