mupen64 free

It won't let me play any of the roms I have downloaded it just keeps bringing me back to choose game and stuff and I don't have any problems with any other emulators I use

This may be a bug in the data extraction process when you first install. Should be fixed very soon, but in the meantime, try this:

• unplug your tablet/phone from a PC if it's connected
• reboot your tablet/phone, and do not plug it into PC
• open mupen and go to Settings->Advanced->Reload app resources
• it should take 10-30 seconds to reload the data. If it goes faster than that, the files may be unpacking improperly.

Please post back your results. Thanks!

Ok thank you I'll try it

[littleguy77]

This should be fixed as of Version 2.0.2.

I am having the same problem but I followed the steps you posted and it still doesn't work and none of my other emulators have done this

[paulscode]

Which games experience the problem, and what format are they in? Currently, only .n64, .z64, and .v64 (or a .zip containing one of these three file types) are supported. If your ROMs are in some other archive format (.7z, .rar, etc) those are not supported by the app, and will have to be unzipped before you can use them.

If that isn't the problem, please test with Mario 64. If it is in .zip format, unzip it first to make sure it isn't corrupt. If it still doesn't work, please try it in another N64 emulator to make sure you have a working ROM. If it is, then please post the logcat after experiencing the problem. If you are not familiar with accessing the logs, I posted instructions on the support forum: http://www.paulscode.com/forum/index.php?topic=93.0

@paulscode This may be an actual crash that we can catch.

@nintendogamer18 An easier way to post the logcat is this:

Go to Settings->Advanced->Enable crash reporting
Then add 'nintendogamer18' to the username field.
Then, be sure you have a data connection
Then start the game and let it fail.
Then post back to let us know when you've done it.

@littleguy77 good point, we should check there first since it is easier. I've just gotten to the point where I expect the LogCat field to show UNDEFINED (I've maybe gotten a logcat from through Acra two or three times when I ask folks to run a specific test - doesn't seem to be very reliable)

[littleguy77]

Good point. You still get the stack trace though, which is enough sometimes.

[littleguy77]

@paulscode Just looked into the ACRA source code about the permissions. I've always wondered how we can get the logcat without having the READ_LOGS permission. Turns out you can get the logcat without permission on all Jellybean devices (at least according to the source code comments). So maybe that's what we should tell users. If they have jellybean, use crash reporter. If not, use alogcat....

Please help, I'm on a Nook tablet (rooted of course) and the emulator won't work on my tablet. I downloaded the app, opened it, the it says It is having problems extracting the files. I've tried even deletingapp and reinstalling it, it still won't work.
